Ray....let met hop in with my mac experience....I purchased the laptop and a video display with wireless keyboard and mouse - sort of the best of both worlds - the display was a little pricey but I'm happy to work at my desk with the large screen - the laptop is discreetly tucked underneath hooked up to the screen and printer but ready to travel at a moments notice - this way I don't need to sync between more than one computer (although apple makes that pretty simple too).

I've been very happy with my mac - still learning some programs - Pages from ilife is a challenge for me - I used MS Publisher alot and really miss the ability to bring those documents over to apple. But otherwise I love the mac and my iphone - I'm back in the mac world 100%!
