That's exactly the set up I have too, Cleo. It rocks. Big ass Cinema Display flat screens at the office and at home. Just unhook it and I can take it to coffee shops and use their wifi or take it with me on travels. My Mac laptop's 2 years old now and hasn't needed any repair or service calls, just a recalled/replaced Sony battery.

Besides being much faster then the laptop I'm using now the new Apple laptops use an Intel chip so I can run Windows programs, like IE for testing my websites, right inside the Mac OS using at full speed using Parallels.

Yep, I'm looking to get a laptop with the Intel chip early next year, beefed up with 2 gigs o'ram and mondo hard drive. Really looking forward to it! Sure, it's *initially* pricier than a PC laptop but when I factor in the overall cost of PC ownership which seems to include the constant system patching, virus problems, component meltdowns and general head banging of having to be a sys admin, it's cost efficient for me to stay with Macs - good thing I've loved 'em for a couple decades now.
