From MacBook to MacBook Pro
First of all, my wife is wonderful. Without much arm twisting at all, she let me upgrade from my white MacBook to the new unibody Macbook Pro. I just wanted to list a few of the things that I have enjoyed since making the switch:
- Bigger, more brilliant screen – The difference between a 15.4″ screen and a 13.3″ screen is significant and so is LED backlighting.
- Illuminated keyboard – Not worth the price of the upgrade by itself but I think that it is one of the very best features.
- Unibody aluminum construction – The MacBook Pro is sexy and sturdy, enough said.
- Gaming – The graphics processors do a much better job with games.
I have missed a few things:
- Battery life – A new MacBook battery lasts about an hour longer than a new MacBook Pro battery.
- Portability – You just can’t beat the size of the MacBook for carrying to and from class/work. Netbooks, you say? Give me a break!

WHAT?!?! You actually posted?!?!? Yay! I’m so glad you decided on a Macbook Pro. Because that makes me a proud owner of a cute little white macbook.

After a long mental debate I personally went with the new MacBook and love it. I couldn’t justify the extra $$ for the things I plan on using it for. I am signing up at the Apple Store for my 10 one hour lessons so I can rock the MacBook like you already do.
