I haven't had a chance to play with the MBPro, but I've played with the small (13"?) MB, and compared it dimensionally to my iBook 12.1" The MB has a larger screen aspect ratio. my 12" screen is taller than the 13" screen. I may actually have more screen real estate with my 12" screen. The point is, the 13" MB isn't really bigger than the 12" iBook; it's wide screen as opposed to ~4:3. I like the removable drive idea. That would be handy. I don't use my optical drive much either. The extra battery life would be nice. What kind of options does a separate graphics card open up? I don't use my button on my trackpad. I would be content being able to make it a right click in preferences, while trackpad taps remain left clicks. CTRL click doesn't bother me, though. Sep graphics card is simply better when playing games and such. The Intel GPU is fine for watching videos and stuff but... I like to game on the road, too. I don't use trackpad taps typically, btu the trackpad button on my dad's MacBook is so miserable I might be forced to when I get mine. the 12" vs 13" thing isn't really a screen size issue, it's a physical size issue. The MacBook is wider, and takes up more space on a desk. That's my main concern. As for the removable drive, Apple did it for years. I ran dual batteries in my PowerBook 550c, my 3400c, and both of my PowerBook G3s. Hell, I lost the DVD drive for one of my PowerBooks and never missed it until the time came to sell the machine cavete terrae.

I was disappointed to see that Apple eliminated the 12" screen size from their notebook lineup. However, I was pleased to see they brought the Firewire 800 port back for the MacBook Pro. (IMO, it was a boneheaded decision to eliminate the port in the first place.) All in all, I can't wait until I can upgrade my iBook. What I want: Black case 11 or 12" screen (not the glossy 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo a real GPU, not the integrated intel shit they use in the non-Pro model bluetooth, 802.11 of course ExpressCard/PCMCIA Removable drive/expansion bay so I can use a second battery (I NEVER use my optical drive except for software install) * 2 button trackpad backlit keyboard That'd be the ultimate Apple notebook for me. Well, ultimate would include a tablet mode, but I KNOW I won't ever see that. The MacBook Pro basically has the right specs for me (except for 2nd battery capability), but is WAY too big. The MacBook is only a little too big, but doesn't have a real graphics chip. I can't win! cavete terrae.

The MacBooks and MacBook Pros are fairly good machines, I'll admit. I love the Sony TX series, but it's overpriced as all hell. I'm personally wishing Apple would make a full-featured small (11-12" )notebook. They keep getting close, but not quite there. cavete terrae.

We had a hellaciously long meeting at work one time, I'd been there for all of like a week. Hottest girl there stands up and goes "GOD my ass hurts", and before I could punch myself in the face or hit my head on the table, I found myself saying "But surely he at least bought you dinner first?" cavete terrae.
