[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1128238, member: 26315"] I just watched the new Apple keynote. And my recomendation would be: 1. If you need a good graphics card get the 15 inch MBP. 2. If you're doing hard video editing (read as in Final Cut Pro) or playing heavy 3D games get the white Macbook. Yes. I think it's a better deal then the new Macbook Airs. For the $999 you get a bigger screen and a super drive and bigger Hard Drive then the 11 inch Air. Sure it's less pixels and not SSD. But to me unless you are crazy over ultra thin-ness go for the white Macbook. I have used the white macbook a lot. Someone I know owns one. And does every basic task very well. it even handles everything in ilife even imovie very well. So if you want a basic portable Mac that does almost everything I can't go past the white Macbook. Just upgrade the RAM in it to 4GB from the 3rd party vendor of your choice and you are set to go. Last note. I'm not a fan of 5400rpm Hard Drives. I much prefer the 7200rpm ones. But when I used the white Macbook for all the basic tasks I did not feel any noticeable slow down from the Hard Drive. Personally it's up to you. But I'd at least take a look at the white Macbook.
