I would seriously reconsider how you spend that time. I'd hate working on a train, the stop-start nature of it, people looking over my shoulder etc. I'd just read a book instead, but fair play to you wanting to do something with your time.

Try a MacBook Air out at a local Apple Store.
- air is for rich schoolkids. so ive been told.Stugoo
- yeah, you'd still need an external dvd drive to install apps or connect to another computer. Its too fussy imo.ian
- but guy it fits in an envelop!aidiro
- Hmm, it does puch that envelope but Im not convinced. NOT CONVINCED!ian
- aww shit. 'push'.ian
- I'm not rich and I'm not a school kid. Pick up a Gen1 for £700. The external drive is £65.MSL

Ian,
I do normally read a book, watch some shit on my ipod, but I also plan to do bits at lunch at the gf's house. so Im looking for some portable kit.
I mostly do stuff for web so a lappy is ideal.I dont mind working on a train, Ive had some really good convos from people interested in what Im doing and Ive actually picked up some work with a guy looking over my shoulder on the train to glasgow.

Cool, I just wouldn't be comfy with it but then I don't even like people standing behind me in the studio. Check out this thread, similar discussion going on, might be useful!
