Curent Plastic MacBook is an excellent unit. Unless you need graphics of 15″ model, I’d go with a regular MacBook, just up the ram. Why? Personal preference – aluminum macbook rusts under my sweaty palms, making way for unattractive black pits. You can get plastic guards and what not. its all the same, getting out of bed using cold metallic case is unattractive. Keyboard on Pros is a bit better. Other then that… its regular Macbook for me. Pity the battery isn’t replaceable. I think they did remove removable battery because very few users have 2 batteries and actually use them.

Most real musicians and recording artists use outboard pre-amps and recording devices. The ones starting out that would like an all in one solution are going to find it here. Wasn't it a LINE-IN? That means you'd need a pre-amp to use a microphone anyway. Does turning the brightness down assist battery life?

Your conclusion is a bit silly. I'm looking at the 13 inch macbooks and here's some specs:

13" MacBook with 2.26 processor, 4G RAM, 500G HD = 1250 Dollars

13" MacBook PRO 2.26, 4G RAM, 500G HD = 1,518 Dollars

13" MacBook PRO 2.53 processor is only 1,650... just 132 dollars difference.

If it was between the slightly upgraded processor and I'm already spending a lot of money, of course I'd spend 132 dollars more for the better processor.

i think apple will hold off the new macbook pros till the ipad hype is gone. it would be stupid to release it now, but i’m still hopeful that their will be an update to the MBP.

I’m with you “yousefzoq”! My computer 3 1/2yr old toshiba has died and I desperatly need a new laptop. I’m a college student and its been killing me not having a laptop since I have to write papers. The toshiba was a 15″ and after awhile of walking around campus I could feel the weight. I have my eye on a Mac, never had one before, and did mad research. After reading mass amounts of articles/blogs/forms I’ll most likely go with a base model Macbook pro 13″. If need be I’ll upgrade later. I’m waiting to see if updates will come out soon. Do you think the updates aren’t coming out because of the ipad?

I sangged a macbook 13″ for under 850. I use it for e-mail, the web, and photoshop. I’ve used final cut pro, but only when i’ve had to take work home.
It’s a pretty powerful laptop. I give it a thumbs up.
