Quite frankly, anything over a 13" laptop in my opinion is no longer a
latop, its a fold up desktop computer.... some of these 17" "laptops"
are just insane, you might as well be lugging a Compaq SLT around with you.

Depends on the model, I suppose. Back when the original MacBook Pro
was introduced I was in the market for a decent laptop and the MacBook
fit the bill. It looked damned sexy, had a ton of horsepower and
seemed pretty durable.
It was indeed a very nice looking and very fast laptop but I was never
actually able to use it on my *lap* for very long -- it ran
*extremely* hot under anything more taxing than idle. The metal area
between the keyboard and the screen would get almost too hot to touch
under moderate loads and the underside was scorching hot as well. My
understanding is that this was a common complaint with this particular
model.
I'm sure they've worked out that particular problem since then :).

Yea, few people can sell a McDonalds double cheeseburger with an Apple
logo on it in a pretty box for $75 and call it a steak.
Yes, lots of people think a MacBook is the same as, say, the
average Dell. Their song changes very abruptly when they actually
handle one. ;)
