[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 291131, member: 24098"] I've been kicking the standard MacBook around for awhile now and there's a number of things that irk me about it in addition to the technical specs. I have a feeling (knowing me) that if I splurge on a brand new machine and don't get the best of what's available, I'll constantly yearn for what I perceive to be the better machine. The chiclet keyboard is a definite turnoff (although I have yet to actually type on one). I genuinely detest integrated graphics, not because I'm an avid gamer, but because I don't want to feel limited by my hardware if I do decide to play a game or two. That same reasoning is why I'd rather have the Firewire 800, Cardbus slot and the other minor extras the Macbook Pro affords. It's not that I have an immediate need for these features, but that I want to know they're there when I plunk down a serious chunk of change. If I can have them for just a few hundred dollars over a black MacBook (which I'd much rather have than a white one), it seems like a justifiable expense - at least in my mind. Either way, I'm going to stick it out for a few more weeks and see what comes up at Macworld. [/QUOTE]
