[QUOTE="Jack Orion, post: 928457, member: 282495"] I understand where you're coming from, and I know that this is another one of those 'Apple updated just after I bought' threads - and I'm VERY happy with my mac. But, I'm a little cynical as to why Apple bought out the macbook pro 13, when they knew that four months later, they were going to be bringing out this new macbook? I know technology moves fast nowadays and what you can get now will be outclassed in a year's time; I understand this. My point is why bring out a new 'pro' model, when, within 120 days(!) it's going to be a 'pretty' version of the base model? I know the specs weren't that spectacular compared to the old white macbook, but they were enough to make me decide it was worth the extra money - if I were buying now, I'm not so sure that'd be the case. Don't get me wrong, I still think that for £899 the 13" Macbook Pro is a good notebook, but this has soured my 'First Apple' experience a little. I don't want to be the guy in a year who has to 'admit' to buying the 13" Macbook Pro... [/QUOTE]
