I have had desktop Macs since the early 80's but lately I have been using a 17 inch Powerbook + 23 inch cinema display and waiting for the Mac Pro announced today. But truth is, now that it is out and while expensive it does look awesome, I realize that it isn't for me anymore. In fact, I have come to love all the benefits of buying laptops and using them as desktop replacements. First, they are easier to purchase given that much of the connectivity like Airport and Bluetooth is built in; second, they provide additional screen when paired with a Cinema display and third, they're portable! Anyway, it is a bit sobering as I am sure the new Mac Pro is a great machine but it is just more computer than I need at this point in time.
