Perry, A word of caution - there's lots of talk over on the Powerlist (details below) about the MBPs getting very hot in anything over 72 deg f ambient temps. Some say too hot to have on a lap, too hot for the wrists on the palm-rests. Note that the casings are from the G4 processors and are now filled up with Intel CPUs and bring a new meaning to the word 'hot'. <http://www.listmoms.net/lists/powerlist/> Pretty much the place to go for Apple portable talk.
