[QUOTE="fiveightandten, post: 297074, member: 24555"] Todd, Thanks for the reply again...and thanks for your honesty. Actually, I had a chance to take a trip to the Mac store and spend a little time on both machines after being a little more informed, as well as talk to the guys there about them. The 13" Macbook gets the nod on size and battery life. It also runs a good deal cooler...but that's about it. I wasn't a fan of the overall much cheaper feel of the 13". The 15" Pro just looks and feels nicer. I didn't like the separated keys of the 13", or the wobbly hinges, or the sound of the speakers (which are hidden under the plastic and don't project sound all that well through the little slot they provide under the screen). Couple that with the fact that the Pro has the better processor, twice the memory, and twice the hard drive capacity...i'm now of the opinion that it's worth the extra cash and worth waiting another month or 2 for. The 17" MBP is still a beast of a laptop, and just plain too big and expensive for my tastes. ;) Thanks for the help. -Nick [/QUOTE]
