I agree that debating multi-screen setups sounds like nitpicking, but the larger point I was making was that Linux on a laptop was (is?) not nearly as pleasant as OS X (or even Windows these days). I like FLOSS but I also like my job, so my laptop needs to be able to connect to a projector (and wifi, and wake up from sleep, etc...) 100% of the time so I'm not fumbling during a presentation. So I have a Mac laptop (running OS X - that's the key, I don't care what kind of hardware I have, but I know that Mac + OS X works).

You do care. Because Thinkpad + OsX wouldn't work :) So you picked very specific hardware.

I think it's unfair to compare Fedora's performance on Macbooks against an operating system that it's designed to work exclusively on this hardware. I have a Thinkpad and all the things you mention (projector, wifi, suspend, etc) work out of the box with Fedora.
