[QUOTE="chrismac, post: 870621, member: 105346"] Hmmm, Plastic vs Aluminum body. Plus the plastic casing is prone to breaking at the edges with normal use, also with really clean hands it [I used to wash my hands before using it lol] it was looking grubby in no time at all. The 'feel' of the machine felt much more cheaply made that the Pro. Screen - what more can I say! I posted some vids on youtube to compare:- [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/bullychris]YouTube - bullychris's Channel[/url] Trackpad - its amazing, like using my iPhone 3GS. Firewire 800 & SD Card reader. And the battery! I am getting the quoted 7 hours with one charge. The MB was getting around 3. Its just so much more aesthetically pleasing, I cant wait to get my mitts on it when I get home from work. Where eventhough the MB White is a very nice machine, it just felt like a normal laptop. The MBP feels 'special'. If I were you I would go to an apple store and see for yourself. [/QUOTE]
