Anyone tempted to replace their current unibody MacBook with the 13'' MBP?

Wipe the hard drive, and just include the disks with the computer? If you digital downloaded the program, just give them the serial. If you got it illegally, too bad.
it reminds of iPod photo i bought long time ago. it was only a few months before iPod video came out.
It was actually called "iPod Photo" for about a month, and then renamed to "iPod photo." And then five months later, it was merged with the standard iPod line.
I remember actually saving up to get one at the time, since I believe it was $699 for the 60 GB model. By the time I had the money, the fifth generation had already been released!
If I had money coming out of my ears I'd replace my White MacBook.. But I've grown so attached to it and it was really expensive.. I bought it with blood sweat and tears.. Translation: Working at Mc Donalds every day after school and every weekend!
I really wanted a MacBook.. I doubt I would even do it again, McDonalds is such slavery, I saved like 2.5K on a $6 wage.
Think yourself lucky. In the UK, Apple is charging £800 to upgrade from 4Gb to 8GB, which is currently equivalent to over $1,300!!!
Okay, guys. While everybody was busy discussing, I've been busy actually making a MacBook CE desktop picture. Here it is. Hope you like it.
I was tempted - very tempted so I took the first steps in taking the plunge. I put my 2.0 Unibody on CL on Wednesday and it sold a couple of days later. Crunching the numbers in conjunction with the edu offers, I would lose less than $100 so it was worth it IMO. I'll be waiting a week to purchase my 13" MBP. 
money is not the issue. whenever my computer fails, my apple store geniuses are to lazy to do repairs, so they just replace my computer. my current unibody 2.4 macbook is a reincarnation of a 2008 white macbook i purchased for school. trust me, even if something as minor as an airport card fails, those guys will offer me a replacement in a heartbeat. i love my apple store.
Haha. Reincarnation. Seriously though, the new Macbook Pro 13 is basically the same as the old unibody Macbook. It's only a pro in name. Adding a FW800 port doesn't make a machine 'pro'. Be happy knowing you have one of the few 'limited edition' aluminum Macbooks
I was over the in mbp threads....and it seems many of the 13" mbp's are throttled down to a 1.5 gb sata connection. 733 posts so far. The consensus is that the people who bought the intel and other premium ssds aren't getting the full speed benefit out of them because of the connection, and there's a lot of people who are right pi$$ed.
Another apple giveth, apple taketh away upgrade...
