The Bottom Line:
Whether you're a Mac person or not, I'd recommend this based on the great design and ease of use.
This is a well-designed laptop. The physical design is both attractive and slim, and very durable; I've had no problems at all in over a year of ownership so far. Compared to many other manufacturers' laptops, it's much lighter and thinner, so easier to carry. The fact that I opted for a 12" monitor, while not giving as much screen real-estate as the larger models, makes it very easy to carry around in a small bag.
Did I mention that the physical design is great? The wireless card is integrated internally, and the ethernet, USB, and other ports are on the side, so there's no fumbling around with PCMCIA cards or slide-out connectors or anything of that sort. It also gets great battery life; I typically get about five hours.
Whether you should get one, of course, depends probably equally as much on whether you want the Apple software platform. This varies from person to person, but for a laptop I think it works nicely. I personally use Linux and Windows for my desktop (which is a PC), but the fact that Apple's laptops are so nicely designed won me over to the Powerbook for my laptop. OS X is pretty easy to learn even if you're completely unfamiliar with it, though, so that shouldn't be a problem.
