Leica group or what! If you have decided that your little netbook is all you need for travelling I would recommend an iMac for your office. It is much more powerful for a given price than a laptop. I actually have a Mac Pro, which is more expensive but lasts longer (I hope). I have not found the interface difficult, but I have used pcs and macs as long as they have existed, and am well aware of the differences. My personal preference is certainly Mac, I only use the pc when there is no alternative, which is rare nowadays. When it dies I will probably not bother to replace it. Frank D.
