John: Two finger tap. I haven't done a ctrl-click in many years.

Also, I didn't just copy Beau, I just watched the image gallery before I looked in the comments :P Very neat that we happened to type the *exact same message*, down to punctuation :)]]>May 14th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/
actually i find it much easier with only one button on the mouse pad. plus on a laptop i pick up my fingers so much that a PC laptop always registers them as double clicks which drives me freakin mad]]>May 14th 2008 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/

I think the context menu is one of the best usability ideas ever: A menu that always offers you the relevant choices of operations relative to the object on which you want to apply that operation.

How can you say not using context menus makes better GUIs?

I'm all for 'luxury' redesigns of existing technologies, but not when they are as shite as this.

I may not care for the MacBook's design - but wow...

I mean.. wow...

Were they trying to make a square UFO? Really. Let's take a nice, compact laptop and make it really big and ugly and clumsy... then make it six times more expensive!

If it MUST have leather - why not just take a MacBook Pro, which is around the right size for all that added aluminum, get some leather and glue it to the underside and lower edges of the case?

There.. saved you $3500.

Sheesh.

Proof that more expensive doesn't mean 'better'.]]>May 14th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/May 14th 2008 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/munk-bogballe-turns-macbook-into-luxury-workstation/
No thanks. My computer beats the hell out of this thing and I paid $415 with shipping.

Maybe I should check the READ link...brb

Yea, nothing special about this laptop. I'd rather waste my money on the $1,000,000 gold Apple laptop if I had that much disposable income.

"Monk Gaydick" sounds a perfect name for it.
What fool would buy this instead of a Macbook Pro? If you're going to pimp an Apple laptop, surely you'd pick the top of the line?
