I was leaning towards the MacBook Pro because of the price tag, but I am worried about the whining noise problems. Also, one should probably wait for the update to Intel Merome CPU in August?
Another one I looked at was the Dell Latitude D620 - only 2kg, but no DVI, and 500cm^3 bigger than the MacBook Pro.
why not just go to www.tigerdirect and build your own with the specs you want. lots of manufactures have open box units that might suit you also check their websites.
