I’m torn between a Mac Book, for $939, vs an nc20, for around $600, when it comes out. I’m not a gamer, but rather, a “cloud-based programmer”. Also, I’m getting sick of my CPU freezing up on my aging Powerbook G4, whenever I’m 2 minutes into a YouTube video. I’ve spent years successfully avoiding Windows, preferring Linux and OS/X.

So that’s my profile, more or less. I’m looking forward to getting a machine in the 12 – 13.3 inch display range that I’ll be able to tether to a Blackberry, and work anywhere.

So let’s assume price isn’t an issue. Whaddya thing Mac Book (not Pro), or NC 20?

+1 on the thought. Not really into the 12.1″ size. Might as well take the MacBook. I currently have an S10, Wind, NC10, Mini 9, and Vaio P and TZ150. Plenty of small(er) options.

I think I’m with you on that one. If I didn’t already have a 10″ device (the NC10!) then I would be looking at this closely. The higher price might ultimately put me off, but I do think it is a neat looking machine and would meet my portability needs whilst providing a little more screen space.

I’d probably want to know more about how the Nano matches up but early reports make it look like a competent CPU.
