I certainly wouldn't buy Apple products for the purpose of doing a
live demo of Linux -- I would be willing to bet money that the Linux
drivers aren't up to snuff, for almost any aspect of the machine.

But the kind of thing you described should be trivial in Mac OS X.
Specifically, I regularly edit lecture notes in XEmacs on the MacBook
screen and redisplay them with a single keystroke in Preview on the
big screen.  The setup is basically the same, except that the notes
are written directly in LaTeX, and I don't try to automatically
capture interactive usage.

Funny thing is, the IM just works (including "te-gaki" ;-) ...
