Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I've just got a question for those you who own the 13" MBs and the 15" MBPs.
I'm a student thinking of getting a MacBook (not sure yet whether pro or glossy) and although I'd love the portability of a 13" book, I'd still like to have the benefits of the Pro from time to time so I'm stumped as to whether I should get the larger (Pro) or not...
This'll be my first Apple product and I currently use my PC for:
1. Lots of writing tasks
2. Some minimal graphics design (I'm not a pro - the 1280x1024 res. on my current PC is more than enough!)
3. Some web design and coding
4. Quite a bit of internet surfing
(I don't do any gaming at all)
I'd also like to start hobby video editing with the MacBook I get and I've seen that even the standard one is capable of this.
The question is that yes, a MacBook would be enough 8 times out of 10 for my uses but is it worth having the Pro (which is only 1 inch deeper and 1 inch wider) just for the other 2 times?
Cheers for the feedback, much appreciated!
