<p>Hehe. I’ll further explain my case</p>
<p>Well the Macbook Pro has many useful features. For me, I am starting to do a lot of photo work in photoshop cs3. Frankly, the 13inch screen on the macbook is too small for me. Also, I really want a matte screen, and macbooks to my knowledge only come in glossy. Side by side, I am going to notice more screen real estate, but won’t have any problems with an ‘oversized notebook.’ It is already considerably smaller and thinner compared to the competition.</p>
<p>The increase in price is only about $800 (I am getting the base MBP). For that you get quite a bit of perks. Lighted keyboard, multi-touch trackpad, aluminum casing, better graphics card (I like to play a few computer games), faster processor (It cannot hurt), bigger + better screen, better BTO (Built to Order) options – gonna get a faster harddrive to speed things up a bit more. </p>
<p>I guess its not made for everyone and it may be overkill for me, but money is not really an issue and I think I will be able to take advantage of the extra features. </p>
<p>I think choosing to be different and picking a mac laptop over a pc laptop is a step in the right direction. Vista is a joke right now… I am a lifelong PC user and have never upgraded to it. I have become tired of my crashing computer and watching my computer become slower and slower everyday. With the beginning of colleges across the US offering Mac products in their stores, it is just a matter of time until the majority of college students own macbooks/macbook pros because … they just work.</p>
