I want a laptop. Or a netbook. I don't particularly want to buy both.
After trying to type on a Eee PC 900(?), if I go the netbook route I definitely want to actually try typing on it in person. Right now, leaning towards a Eee 1000H or maybe the Samsung NC10.
Or, do I just spend another $800 or so and get a just-as-portable but more powerful system? Leaning towards either the Lenovo Thinkpad X200 (non-tablet) or buckling to peer pressure and getting a MacBook.
Or... do I go for an even bigger model so that Eclipse isn't all scrunched up? Or, do I just use it for 'fun' projects where Vim is all I'll need?
Yeah, I don't know what I want, and I've got conflicting requirements. Small! Big! Cheap! Oh, alright, spend 3x as much.
A decent keyboard and sturdy build are my only consistent criteria.

I have been a long-time anti-mac person, but when I got one to evaluate for work use I was converted. I cannot say enough about how much I love the macBook Pro. It just works, it has some intangible that I can't explain, but I now know I will never own another PC again. Just thought I would put in my 2 cents, oh, and we still have positions waiting for you when you are ready to come...
I suppose I opened up the door when I asked people to tell me what to do.
Good news. Fed up with the pain. But the economy has me spooked towards making a change.
What're you doing with Apple hardware at RC? Decided to port EP to the IPhone?
The thing that attracts me to the MacBook is that the will 'just work'.
