[QUOTE="joshbrez, post: 598016, member: 26453"] I'll weigh in on this question, since I've been thinking a bit on the subject lately. I'm a college student, and I got myself a MacBook Pro about a year ago. I enjoy the backlit keyboard and especially the larger screen (not to mention the fact that the screen is matte). I think the keyboard is nicer than the MacBook's as well. The thing is, with the larger screen, you lose just a little bit of portability. I still carry mine around with me a lot, but it'd be easier with the baseline MacBook. Also, since you'll have Spaces, you'll have plenty of virtual desktops to work with. I got the Pro mainly to leave the option of gaming open to myself, but I realistically don't game that much, being a student, and am now wondering if that extra thousand bucks could have been put toward something else. In short, having the Pro is a really nice and enjoyable experience, but if you want it keep in mind that you're sinking in a lot more money. Make sure it's worth it to you. [/QUOTE]
