- 4gb of RAM. I can run all the programs that I need at the same time instead of starting them up and shutting down throughout the day. In the case of making web graphics, this is a huge time savings. Text editor, App Server instances, Photoshop, Fireworks, Lightroom, MS Office, News reader, FTP client, Safari, Firefox, SQL client, iTunes, iChat OmniFocus, Mail, and half a dozen other programs all open all day long. And - I can leave one or two Windows VM instances running in the background all the time. Again, huge time savings in testing web apps.
- Rock solid. This laptop just doesn't seem to hesitate. It is always ready to go when I need it. No hardware trouble, sleeps and wakes up fast.
- Bigger screen. Awesome, more room to work.
- Metal enclosure. Feels more rugged.
- Firewire 800. Super fast external storage.
- Dual DVI out for a large external monitor.
This is my most favorite computer of all computers that I've ever owned in the last 20 years.
I knew you'd like it :)

LOL!
Paul, we need to have an intervention.
Okay, I am seriously thinking about buying. Now lets just see if I can pump some more money out of secondlife. It sounds pretty freakin cool :::link::: and has 3G data.
I do love jewels and pink and I think that perhaps I am in store for a smaller phone to accompany my not phone.
