Sherry, I have a MacBook, but I’m trying to be an ultra-light packer, so it’s staying at home. For my 6 months trip through Asia I have bought a Wind MSI netbook that can run Mac OS, as I can’t imagine my life without. I’m backing up all my content before the trip to a hard drive that stays at home (theft or crash, my basic info will remain unharmed). 160Gb of space that my new tiny netbook provides is more than enough for the trip, and memory cards/sticks, ftp servers and iPod can be used as additional storage facilities and/or backup devices.

I like ClamXav for Mac. It’s lightweight on system resources and free 🙂

Interesting thought with the Mini and using the keyboard as a monitor. I’ll look more into it. As for Apple, I get the hunch that a tablet is within about a year or so. It might be wishful thinking on my part but fingers crossed…

It’s a tough choice, I love my Macbook too – there’s always the Macbook Air 🙂
