I've had mine for a month now, and I love it. I'm a college professor and I take it with me to plug in to the projector in classrooms. The video resolution is more than the projector so that's not a problem, and the classes all think it's funny when I'm running Visual C++ via Virtual PC on a Mac! Bottom line is that I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

  Yeah, that's HILARIOUS!!!
  
  Oh wait, no it isn't. Why is that funny? I think it just proves you're an idiot: You could have spent half as much cash to get a real PC laptop that runs Visual C++ at faster speeds.
  
  Maybe they're laughing AT you. Now, that's hilarious!

  half as much? Really? Perhaps you could point me out a "real" PC laptop for $899...

  Maybe Visual C++ is not the most important thing he runs on his laptop, and the most important thing he does use works best on a Mac??

  Quite possibly. I don't do this myself (my 700MHz iBook would probably wheeze trying to run Visual Studio in Virtual PC), but I can see why someone might want to. I develop in Visual Studio during the day, but travel with my iBook, which does everything else I need. If I wanted to, I *could* travel with my Dell laptop, but it's bigger, heavier, and absolutely *sucks* for Cocoa development.
