what made it worth the price was the superdrive for only another $200. 
the temp is noticeable but not *that* bad (i can keep it on my lap even 
when it is running hot). the best part about it is the 12" size. i have 
a 12" ibook that i loved and the new pb is even better (faster, a 
little thinner, and noticeably lighter). with the superdrive i think 
its perfect.
