That's a silly question.  But if I had one, it would quickly become my  
wife's laptop and I'd never see it again.  It is way more than  
powerful enough for her uses (currently she's on an iBook G4) and it's  
nice and light, which she would love.  The HD is larger than the one  
she has now, and that drive is 80% empty last I checked.

In fact, if I had the money right now, I'd probably buy one for her.   
For ME?  I'd rather have the MBP for slightly more money.
