I have traveled all over Asia with my Macbook and I have to say take it. #1 reason: You are sitting in a mountain village in Tibet and the only thing around you are some nomads and their yurts. 5 kids come up to you and want to ask you questions but you can't talk to them, they can't talk to you. Enter Photobooth. In 1 minute you are the superstar and everyone is laughing and having a good time.
For security, get a laptop sleeve and a messenger bag or light daypack and just take your laptop with you when you are out on the town. When you are staying in a hotel, leave it in your bag. It's so worth it.
The OS in Office space was carefully crafted to mix elements from both MacOS and Windows. If you looked closer, you would see that although the window title bar is from Mac OS, the hourglass icon is from Windows. I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I remember being amused at the way they mashed interface elements from the two OSs to make a Grand Unified OS. In addition, some of the boxes in the movie are Macs.
I just read _Someone_ on my iPod Mini! 300+ pages three sentences at a time. Actually, it wasn't too bad. Certianly beats printing it out, or luggin my laptop along. I'd do it again if I found more content in iPod format.
Looking at the specs, I see that this is in fact quite a bit more expensive than what I usually buy for Corp. Customers in China. I can get Sempron 2600, 256RAM, 80GB HDD with a GIGAbyte Motherboard, all installed in a small form factor case for 2400yuan, or $292. Add a 17in flat panel and you have a full computer for 5000 yuan ($610). That is, of course without OS. I for one welcome the idea of buying MS tax free computers from HP with similar specs, cause i can't even guarantee avalability of replacement parts for the custom built stuff.

anti-Internet addiction advocate Zhang Chunliang. Mr. Chunliang
NO NO NO it's Mr. Zhang.
Chinese names go:
Family name Given name
We really need to learn at least a little bit about 1/5th of the world's population! The mistake above is like calling the president Mr. George.
