I'm working from home on my iMac 24". And I love it.

I own a Dell laptop but think it's a little heavy and complicated to get to the internet. When traveling and I often leave it at home.

Is it true if I buy a macbook or macbook pro I can sync my primary workstation (iMac) with a macbook/macbook pro?

I'am considering buying a laptop or maybe iphone. Since I would be great to connect to my e-mail account when traveling and do some work.

Lately I meet a girlfriend and when visiting her I have to borrow her PC. It's not easy to get something done when I don't have access to my other stuff.

What would you recommend as my portable companion? I have been considering a macbook or 15" macbook pro. Should I wait for something new to come? Maybe a smaller macbook pro? Hope anyone can help me getting on the right track.
 
Macbook should probably suffice unless you need the power that the Pro includes. What will you use it for other than synching? Any design or film/photography application use?
 
There are some different options you can look at for synchronizing. They range from the very basic -- throw all your files on a USB drive -- to more sophisticated things. One of the newest and most sophisticated options seems to be this -- I've used their software, but not this app:

I maybe going to use it for designing in photoshop and dreamweaver.
