On top of that, I will never consider switching away from my Macbook until the following things are true:
* battery will last several hours (macbook still at 4+ hrs on full charge and it is 1.5 yrs old)
* very good (open) acpi support - if I can't 100% trust closing and opening to just suspend and resume correctly, I won't use it for anything other than toy purposes. (and open because I will be using my own kernel, or at least my own install of a distro, so it needs to be supported or at least compilable for every kernel).
