For $1099 you can get a 1280 x 800 13.3" display, 1.83 GHz Core Duo (yes, two processors on one silicon die), 512 MB of RAM, and a 60 GB hard drive, upgradable to 2 GB of RAM and a 120 GB drive. Now available in black, too. It's actually very competitively priced compared to similar offerings from Dell and others. Full specs hereThe black

I was surprised at the vaio-like influence of the black, and the introduction of the glossy screen. I think the sony designers Apple recruited for this line, have definitely let their talents shine through. -Nice to see it make a great notebook, even better.

Speaking of macs, I bought a friend of mine a fire-wire drive for her birthday, and she'd like to use a portion of the space to backup her mac; do you have any suggestions for a good, free, backup utility?
