I spent the majority of the last 5 years as a nomad. Living in more than one city (at the same time), with multiple offices and spending time on a couple of campuses. I need the full capabilities of a laptop and design station with all files and applications where ever I went - sometimes even in my car. Mac Books are wonderful for that. This new computer looks to be able to handle everything I now need in a situation away from home or the office. My only reservations is a back up plan for wireless problems. Maybe a USB network adapter would work... or I will just have to learn to let go.
