- 15" MacBook Pro, 13" MacBook Black, 15" iMac G4, 24" iMac (soon!)
I bought a black MacBook today at the Apple store, shortly after sending my MacBook Pro in for a series of repairs. Once it is returned, I'll sell it on eBay and use the money to pick up a new 24" iMac desktop.
So why did I "downgrade" to a MacBook? It's smaller, lighter, longer battery life, better wireless reception, more durable, runs cooler, and does everything I need from a notebook.
I do video and graphic work, but I've decided to delegate that task to the iMac in a few weeks after I get it. I really cringed when I saw the graphic capabilities (or lack of) on this laptop, but realized I had zero use for them.
It's a sexy little laptop, thus far! I hope I'm happier with it than I was the MacBook Pro. I absolutely cannot *wait* for the 24" iMac!
