On first glance so much for one handed navigation. I hope there is more to it then this. :(
How about we reserve our comments on usability, interface and one-handed-ness until we see a demo... or a freaking production model for that matter.
sheesh. You all talk like you've used it.

Alternatively, you could create a third partition on your laptop and format it as FAT32 or exFAT and keep all of your data on there so both Windows and Mac and read & write the files.
Hmm, FAT32 only allows for 4GB, right? Anyway, can you please tell me how this can be achieved? Links would be appreciated :)
I haven't found anything that works well for Windows. I would recommend that you give MacDrive a try or look a Paragon. Both are well maintained and if there is an issue have tools to help you repair the partition.
I see, but like i said, MacDrive is paid.. So is Paragon.. i need a free version, if you know of any. thanks :D
Side note: Did you know that NTFS Mounter works perfectly for and quietly for writing NTFS from HFS?
Cheers :)

Only for specific purposes. I prefer 2x24" or 27" monitor for real work.
Well, you can have it both ways with the MBA... you can plug a 27-incher in when you need it.
Also, a lot of real work can get done on a 13" or 11" screen. E.g., my wife runs her law firm with her MBA. Word, Excel, email, etc. work fine on a 13" screen and run fast on a MBA.
(Apparently the SSD makes a huge difference because they run better on her MBA than on my 2009 iMac -- the minute I can swing it, I'm doing a little surgery on my iMac to add an SSD).

I was hoping that having a render going would be sufficient to tell the system that the computer is in use and do not sleep.
Is there something else that will?

Good advice so far.
One other thing. Photoshop needs a scratch disk. Dedicate the first partition (I think about 50GB?) of one of your fast internal disks as the scratch disk. The drive should not be the one that has your applications, or OS on it. I use the same drive that has my image library. Basically you want the disk to be available only to PS when it needs it.
Good Luck.
If you go with a current Mac Pro, and if you put images on an external drive, make sure it's FW 800 drive. The speed increase over USB is well worth it. Unless it's your back up drive, 'cause nobody cares how long the backup takes at 3am.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac Pro (unless I absolutely needed to) unto the just released Thunder Bolt technology made it into the Mac Pros. The current best info is that TB will not be an add-in card into current Mac Pros.
If the new Mac Pros with TB are too pricey, the older (now the current versions) Mac Pros will be discounted. I think a lot of professionals are going to hold off buying a new Mac Pro until the TB enabled ones come out. Apple is going to need to clear the old stock.
all of this imho, of course.... and worth every penny you paid for it...

snberk103: thanks again for the explanation. You continue to provide food for thought. Also, initially, I will not rely on this machine as a "workstation/paycheck" so I have to re-think my strategy, maybe. :) Maybe I am not being realistic and an iMac will be plenty of machine for me! Although I do not buy the latest and greatest every week and that is why the Mac Pro is a viable option. A catch 22 if you know what I mean. ;)
Eaton Photos: I viewed some of your photos via your link and they are perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I saw that you compute with an original Mac Pro. This RAID thing is definitely something to consider, but I do not want to bite off more than I can chew! Honestly, I am overwhelmed with information, and that is good. I have to re-think my goals and configure a machine accordingly. Your machine has been around the block so to speak and it is performing to your satisfaction. This is most encouraging to say the least. :)
dlegend: I appreciate the advice, as I do not take offense to you recommending an iMac! Trust me, I am still brainstorming whether it is a good choice. The mac Mini though, is not an option. Nothing wrong with them and if I wanted to buy a new machine every year or so, then that is the logical route due to Xs and Os. :D
I like the iMac and the 27" screen is awesome, and it must be viewed in person to be truly respected, but I understand it is not optimal for a photography. There are options to upgrade ram to 16 GB which is more than adequate for my needs. Now what I do not like. The HDD is burried behind the monitor. I am mechanically inclined, but I would not feel comfortable using a suction cup to remove the glass display in order to access the HDD. Honestly, this is my only concern and I countered it by ordering a machine with an SSD and 1 TB HDD respectively.
Thanks again for the advice, as I am indebt to the folks in the forum. Now I have to prioritize my needs: by placing my wants in the recycle bin and finally order a machine! :D Decisions, decisions.
EDIT: This thread serves as a great "this vs. that" discussion. Meaning, what do I want and/or what is required. Sometimes there is a vast difference between the two and I speak from experience.

Glad to see this generation wasn't a flop.
I'd buy an 11"er if it had a backlit keyboard and the price was around $800. Personally, just saying. And no, I don't want an iPad.

so will there be a new one and what will be the changes... (dual, superdrive,...)
would like to know that
once again i hate to burst your bubble but you definately won't see dual G4 powerbooks for heat reasons and definately wont see a superdrive until they change the size of the powerbook or release a slim dvd burner, both of which would take at least a few months to develop. Paris Powerbooks would steal the glory from the new top of the line powermac. apple wouldnt do that, look for new powerbooks after new powermacs actually come out.
listen folks the theory of apple releasing new computer hardware at every macworld has to end especially at the Tokyo and Paris shows. look for jaguar demos with ical and isync, and maybe another digital hub software update. maybe maybe a new LCD monitor or price drops on their LCD prices.

On the whole I'm going to have to say I don't care much for it. I agree, it just looks really cluttered now, and with a story being squished in the middle, but coming down a long way instead of running across the whole browser window it just feels off. Oh well, perhaps this will inspire me to contribute so the stories can look right again.

Don't put Apple Lossless onto your iPod. You won't gain anything from it other than craptacular battery life. Your iPod moves 25MB of music from the hard drive (HD) into cache memory, and plays the music from cache memory. If it didn't work this way, your HD would be spinning for as long as you use it. The HD uses a lot of power, which is why the cache memory makes the battery life reasonable.
Anyway, if your iPod has 25MB of cache memory, and you have 3 mp3 songs, and each mp3 takes up exactly 8 MB of space, this means that your cache memory can store these 3 songs onto cache memory (24MB worth of songs), and your iPod will play all 3 songs before it has to reload more songs from the HD into the 25 MB cache memory.
HOWEVER, if you encode all your songs in Apple Lossless format, and each of the 3 songs is now 25MB in size (ie: much larger) instead of just 8MB per song, your iPod will only be able to store a single 25MB song in memory instead of 3 songs. So after each song is finished, it has to get another song from the HD and put it into memory, which uses up a lot of power. In the previous example, it could play 3 songs before having to fetch more songs.
Also, your anti-skip will barely work if your song files are enormous. ;)
When you Import songs, set the file format to AAC and either 128kbps, 160kbps, or 192 kbps. I say encode the songs at 160kbps to make sure the battery life is good. 192kbps means that each song takes up 50% more space than a song encoded at 128kbps. ;)

Thanks!

Okay thanks, if I just hook it up to iTune cause I wanna add a CD is that okay? Like just syncing.
Right. You'll be OK as long as your keep hitting "Cancel" when the pop-up (which will appear when you start to sync) asks if you want to update to the latest iPhone software. You can check a box to have it stop reminding you, but I leave it unchecked so that it reminds me I gotta keep an eye out (basically here) for a new JB.

1) The mini is 2x as expensive as iTV
2) The mini would cost even more with HDMI (at least right now)
3) A lot of consumers just want the simplicity of a set-top box.
4) Others don't want to waste the power of a full computer just as a media center.
You forgot...
5) Because iTV is targeted at iPod/iTunes users - the majority of which use Wintel systems to manage their media. Making this a "Mac only" product would cut off the bulk of Apple's target market. Many of these Windows users would not want to buy a second computer running an unfamiliar OS just to stream their movies and music.
