Speaking of notebooks

OK, but it doesn't look like Amazon has those. I AM browsing at 56k ( I am over my 10 gig limit, thanks Apple for that ), so that is cramping my style a little.

I have wireless, when I hit 10 GB a month, I get shaped to 56k. Sadly, the latest iPhone SDK was 2.5 GB, and now I am hosed. Only until next Tuesday tho.

I used to wonder why you were so cranky all the time. But this explains everything! :-D

I'd like to buy a new notebook. My requirements are : 1 - light 2 - able to be used as a dev machine 3 - light 4 - not heavy Seriously, I want a machine for a couple of things: 1 - I want to be able to wipe it and use it to do clean machine Windows 7 installer testing 2 - I want it to be light because I'd take it on US trips, and so I'd have to use it as a dev machine for 2 weeks at a time. So, I expect light to mean a bit slower, but I want it to be usable all the same. Recommendations ?

Unsure if it's mentioned, but I like Acer laptops. Cheap, mostly light, down n dirty. best part: it doesn't fuss when you install another OS like ubuntu, and last one I bought had min bloat wear. lacks on the battery though ( least the one I bought). (edit) going by above specs... I diffently say Acer.

For what little it may be worth, I'll chime in and say that the 17" MacBook Pro I bought a few months ago is the first laptop I've ever genuinely liked. Unfortunately, I think there are some hiccups installing Windows 7 via BootCamp (I haven't tried myself), so this may put it out of contention for your purchase because of 2) on your list of tasks you'd like to use the laptop for in the immediate future. In addition, you'd have to shell out $$$ for the Windows 7 copy on top of the already-pricey MacBook Pro. All of the other laptops I've had (HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, non-Pro MacBook) have, IMHO, sucked royally. They all had one or two things that just made them infuriating to work with - keyboard size and/or feel, screen glare, crappy battery life, shockingly slow disk access, etc... . Are you sure there's no room in your carry-on luggage for a mini-tower? ;)

You got that problem as well? I usually hit it just a few days before the end of the month (mine is 30gig tho but the digital tv downloads are eating away at it).

I'm getting one of those, but I need a computer, also.
