Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't make those (nice) comments. I think

For $1300 you could have most of the Macbook features and a better keyboard,
a mouse, and a much larger monitor. And then, when you decided to upgrade, you
could get the then current Mini for $599 (hopefully by then $499) - not
another $1300 - and keep your good keyboard, mouse and monitor

The 13" MacBook has a pleasing, compact form factor, too. And for $1300
gives you 1GB RAM, a 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo, and 120 GB HD that is easily
