Modded up.

The regular 13" MacBook is the perfect size for me. I had the 12"  
Powerbook, and with the widescreen the extra inch is all in width -  
the MacBook's keyboard just feels less cramped than my Powerbook's  
one did.

For me dual-head operation used to be the most compelling feature of  
the "pro" models, but Apple now include this on the plastic MacBook.

Here the price difference between the MacBook & the Pro is £500 -  
$1000. There's no way I can justify that for a speed bump and for  
screen resolution I'm not really interested in. The 13" MacBook is  
perfectly portable.

Stroller.
