When it was delivered to my office, three passing colleagues wandered in to ooh and aah over it. The last time I saw this happen, someone had brought in their new baby. Human baby, I hasten to add, not gadget baby, car baby, or other infant substitute that makes admirers wide-eyed and squeaky.
...which leads me to my thought of the day: is my laptop my substitute child?? I carry it everywhere, spend hours every day interacting with it, miss it if I go away without it for a few days, and fully expect other people to share my high opinion of its looks and capabilities. And my cats are jealous of it.
Oh dear.
At least Macbooks are cheaper than children.

As someone currently without my laptop due to an unfortunate tea incident, I can firmly say that I love having a laptop and miss one dearly. I don't miss my particular laptop, though. Any sufficiently (cpu/ram/battery life) powered one will do.
It is a pc, though. . .
My commiserations - both for your tea-related laptop loss and your being stuck with a PC ;)
I've become attached to my particular model laptop though - it's got to a point where a similar specced machine (cpu/ram/battery) just doesn't have all those features that I'm used to on my Macbook. Working without 3- and 4-finger trackpad gestures, one-button dashboard access, etc... I might as well go back to pen and paper.
