I've seen the new laptops in person, and I may just buy my first non- Mac ever (and this is going way back). The exterior is gorgeous, but the black keys on silver and, more noticeably, the black screen frame, are pretty hideous to me. The real clincher is that these take battery life a step worse, and I've never been pleased with my Mac's battery over the past few years. The screens are definitely too reflective; I've never liked my Macbook's glossy screen because it always seems to give me trouble when working on comps.
I really wish that Apple gave us more choice in this respect...I may end up running Linux on a ThinkPad (T) plus Windows virtualized for PS and Illustrator. But I hate to have to leave Mac OS, and one killer feature for Macs is font support. As you can see, I'm very conflicted.
