Yep, I use a 12" PowerBook now, the last model they made. I love it.  
The only reason I'll ever upgrade is for the ability to virtualize.  
That'll be worth the money to me eventually.

Yeah, the MacBook has a wide screen, which is really nice for movies  
and work, but the 12" is just so much more portable.

And I think 10" would be pretty cool too. I keep looking at things  
like the EEE, the OLPC, the old Librettos, and those cool import  
FlyBooks (tiny, fast, integrated: camera, bluetooth, wifi, gprs (or  
evdo?), gps...). I don't mind a smaller screen, at all, and I think I  
could get used to a smaller keyboard, even.

IMO, while a super pretty screen is sexy, one I can see outside  
without killing the batt would be really, really awesome.
