I've got a Macbook which i've had for one month now and i love it, but i feel the integrated graphics + small screen + harrdrive space are letting it down.

I've been looking at the MBP and once thing thats been making me think of getting it is the backlit keyboard. I use my Macbook in dark areas all the time (in bed when watching tv/on long bus rides etc) so the backlit keyboard would help A LOT).

The dedicated graphics would be great and the extra hdd space (i know i can upgrade this in the mb).

I have the intel core 2 duo 1.83ghz 1gb ram 60gb hdd macbook. I could probably sell it for £550 and get a Macbook pro for £900 on eBay.

0r i could get the Core Duo macbook pro for £800 which would be a lot easier for me.

Hmm. decisions decisions..

I am always sitting in the dark; in bed, in my home theater room, etc.
I can type without having to see the keys, but I wouldn't trade the backlit keyboard for a $5000 XPS or Alienware without it.

There may be an update coming, but it might be a little while before it shows up. Wait and see what they say, but definitely make the upgrade. I've had my MBP a couple of months and the backlit keyboard is great. The graphics are also plenty fast enough to take just about everything I've thrown at it.
