I just wanted to put in my two cents before you went and actually got your system...
I would HIGHLY advise on HOLDING back on any purchases especially with the MacBook Pro. For starters, you dont know the rest of the line of MacBooks will be yet. Wouldnt it suck if at the next Mac convention they suddenly released a 13'' widescreen Pro? or even a faster 15''? They havent made a complete transition to the Intel chip and I personally would think it is too early to be buying anything.
Not including, its interesting how the PowerBooks were updated recently and were glorified for having such a good battery life. However, the MacBook Pro, it doesnt even mention anything about Battery life. For all we know, since nobody has their hands on one yet, it could be 2 hours.
At the very least, WAIT until you read some actual first hand encounters with the MacBook Pro...
