As I wrote... I went back and forth and back and forth. There is no question that I will miss the screen on the mbp but, as with all things, there are trade-offs in either direction. Nice thing is, either direction gets you one great notebook! Enjoy yours! nomaded-

I really needed to upgrade from the 1.67GHz AlBook that I've had for 3 years. I am totally loving it. I was very tempted by the size of the MacBook, but knowing myself, I would bitch and moan about the 1280x800 screen for the life of the notebook. I hope you enjoy yours, I know I'll be enjoying mine.

You are going to love it. I am in the middle of setting mine up and there is no question that, for my needs, I made the right choice. The size, weight and power are a nice balance for me and the screen and "brick" case are a knockout! Good deal Alex!

Said it'll arrive on Monday. I added my RAM at Apple because I checked and it was only a few dollars more there than at Crucial which is where I get my RAM usually. So I had a one-two day delay because of that - oh well. I am *so* looking forward to that :) I’m waiting on mine still. Said it’ll arrive on Monday.
