If I wasn't too cheap to pay the $100, I'd put it on my laptop.
The only argument against it that I'm aware of is price, and the fact it's not 
open source (for those who care).

They have a history of producing an X Server that supports hardware that 
XFree86 doesn't, and supports other hardware better.

I think the money they charge goes to buying expensive developer info from 
hardware companies who play hard-to-get with the OpenSource community.  (the 
money also goes to pay their programming staff.)  NDAs are probably also 
involved in some cases.
