[QUOTE="CrimsonRequiem, post: 875533, member: 62286"] I would get the MBP. With the MBA it seems like you are getting less for what you are paying. MBP has longer battery life. ~7 hrs compared to the ~5 on the MBA. That's kind of a deal breaker for me when the MBA is suppose to be more portable and yet it has lower battery life. Only one USB port. >_>" You will run into problems with that down the line somewhere. You can easily remedy this stuff with a USB hub and what not...but when I travel I travel extremely lean and don't want to have to bring an external DVD drive and a USB hub with me. Oh and only 2GB or RAM. That's a real deal breaker for me right there. Unless you only plan on not running anything computer intensive and only plan on listening to music, watching videos and surfing the web. I'd say go with the 15". 5.5lbs is nothing. Unless you have severe muscle atrophy or something. [/QUOTE]
