I just got one of these myself. It’s on the desk beside me here at work, but I can’t play with it until I get home. Finding it hard to, um…concentrate.

I’m actually kinda surprised. I’ve played with these, and while they’re glitzy and glamorous, I just don’t find them appealing as a ‘bread and butter’ machine. If I were a creative director showing important clients designs of weird and wonderful things, yeah.. I’d get one. But for day to day work, no thanks! I guess that’s more against the Mac, than the design of the Powerbook though.. or perhaps it’s just the inner capitalist screaming at the high price tag!

You should know, with Apple, ?bread and butter? comes with style. This computer could tear up your ?bread and butter? tasks. And tell your inner capitalist to look beyond the initial cash payment (e.g., repairs, opportunity cost of having to stare at a big ugly machine everyday, etc.). Also, regarding cost, style, usability etc.: http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,60559,00.html Good luck to you sir!
