I got a 15" intel core duo a couple months ago. It's my 6th mac. 2nd laptop.
I love it. I need to get the good ones for video editing but for general use I don't see much difference with my old 1Ghz powerbook. I'm sure it's faster
but not so as to really notice. alot of this upgrading stuff is smoke and mirrors. But this laptop did take a mighty whack from my ice chest knob over a 12 inch drop - right onto the laptop cover which it dented but without
any screen damage.

for me the question is what else is there? get a mac and get the best you can afford.

I put mine in an industrial sized ziploc bag (buy at the grocery store) and then in your case or where ever.
