That would be my first personal choice, actually.
But, there's a couple of problems with that. First off, I need to be able to run windows (boot camp would work, but is beta - and I'd much prefer virtualization) and Linux. Is possible to tri-boot a MacBookPro - but it's hardly elegant and definitely not supported. Also, I need uber-connectivity - the MacBookPro doesn't have a pc-card slot in favor of the ExpressCard/34 slot. I haven't yet found an evdo or edge card for that.
A nice wintel laptop and a new intel mini are the route i'm planning to go at this point.
