I bought the 12" because i wanted ultra portability and i love it. I paid $1500 for it all, including airport extreme. Not a bad deal. I'm still playing with everything, but so far it has been great. I only have 256MB RAM, but it runs just perfectly. Boots up quicker than my Win2k machine with 640MB RAM. Warcraft III plays very well.
edit: hey... 3k posts now :Q ... damn that was a whole lotta neffin
At this point, i prefer my pbook to my windows machine for everything. However, I suggest you get a cheaper mac and a PC. It allows the best of both worlds. I skipped the Superdrive because i realized that buying a standalone DVD burner for $150 AR is infinitely better than spending $400 on an internal notebook burner.
his last idea is a good one, and i wish that someone would've said something like that when i was buying my computer for college
... a 12" mac laptop would be nice and light to take to class... and a shuttle barebones pc with a 15" lcd would be really nice to have in the room So, its basically useless for me and anyone else that wants something portable. Sounds like there are more features to the Macs than you may have thought

You could always get a pda. I'm personally waiting for a wearable display to become affordable, then I grab a teeny motherboard like a pc104 and become one with my pc. maybe I'll blanket my world in uwb radiation so I can be eternally connected to the net.

Ive got a PDA, but for anything requiring me to do actual work its useless. A wearable computer would be pretty neat though.

portablity isn't really a problem though, i toss it in my pack and walk to class... there are times when i wish i had a fujitsu lifebook or a sony picturebook, for portablity reasons... but when i'm walking to class... and the heat from the p4 2.8ghz is keeping my back warm...

I prefer a small laptop that I can carry easily around with me. I dont always keep it in a bag. I like to easily be able to take it out while on the train or at a diner or something. Just another perspective.
Yeah, i looked at the sagar, and if i wanted a desktop replacement, i would go with that, but for now, i think i'm gonna get the 15 inch, if they update it or the 17 inch, and i will also take the 1.33 ghz pc that i'm on now
