Someone suggested to me buying an external "cinema" display (23" would be more than ideal although I think the 20" would be just ideal enough) with a wireless keyboard and mouse for at home, that you would just connect your MacBook (regular). Thus getting the larger screen and versatility of a proper keyboard and mouse while also having the greater ease of travel with the MacBook. Obviously, price becomes quite an issue...

This is an issue for me as well. For some reason, I have a huge "issue" with carrying around extras for a laptop beyond the power adaptor and maybe an ergonomic mouse, as I said earlier. Considering that almost all projectors these days seem to be VGA, I don't see why Apple does not include both a DVI and VGA port on all its portable Macs. It can only increase the versatility and appeal, but I suppose Apple would loose out on charging the customer an obscene amount of money for a fairly simple piece of technology, right?
