Amen. I can't imagine ever actually using that as a notebook. It's so powerful though, I can see using it as a workstation. I mean, you could just get a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and just leave the thing docked most of the time. Then, I suppose if you are traveling somewhere you could bring it with you...but it's not like you could use it portablely.

I'm more interested in when we are going to see the new 13" MacBook/iBook, what that's going to look like, and if that's going to be the Intel answer to the 12"/14" iBook or the answer to the 12" PowerBook.

I'm guessing that the new 13" MacBook/iBook is going to have a 1.66GHz Core Duo, no iSight camera, and GMA 950 instead of an ATI X1600. I wonder though if it will be in a MacBook Pro chassis, or if it's going to have the old white iBook chassis. I also wonder if we'll see a 13" MacBook Pro.
