I had actually set out to buy the white Macbook.  But when I compared them side by side the Macbook Pro looked so much nicer, and the programs on it opened much quicker too.  It’s larger and heavier then my previous 12″ laptop.  But I think I will use it a lot more with it’s larger 15.4″ wide screen, 2.2 Ghz dual core processor, 120 GB hard drive, 2 gig or ram and a seperate 128MB graphics card.  The guy at the store convinced me that the seperate ram for the graphics card would make video editing much easier.  And so far I really love this machine!   I am concentrating on getting the Mac Pro set up first and then I can replicate those programs to the Macbook to use during my travels. Â
