On balance, I prefer the 13in but ultra-slim format to the smaller, thicker alternatives from PC manufacturers. It isn't my only Mac, though, and the storage (80/64GB) could be a limitation for some. Incidentally, while I'm replying, my plastic golf pencils arrived and have been put to good use. They're excellent and each one lasts a couple of weeks (I got 100 to be on the safe side). Andrew:

I have been using Moleskine Cahier notebooks for several years, but I have also been wedded to my PDA--at the moment a Windows 6 Mobile device. I've been inputting tasks and organising tasks while out and about on the PDA/phone rather than the Moleskine notebook. But... despite the exellent Missing Sync, there are inevitably sync problems between WinMob6 and Macs. I'm planning to go with iPhone when the 3G model arrives, but in the meantime I think I'll take your tip and try the Moleskine route. Since buying a MacBook Air I haven't been using the PDA as much. While you can't sit on the Air as you can on the golf pencil, you can do almost anything else with it. Above all, you can carry it around and it is an instant-on device like the PDA. So Air + Cahier + golf pencil is as good a route as any. The golf pencils are a brilliant tip; I am ordering.

I think that those little things that help us to get more organized should be attractive! Like for example theses gorgeous yet simple Moleskin's notebooks!

I'd never heard of those before. Pens are big, ugly and messy, especially if you use the PocketMod method (ie no moleskin, just a folded sheet of paper). Nice. That golf pencil tip is brilliant!
