I wasn't trying to argue about that, just wondering why Sony are putting full HD res on 13 inch laptops and not Apple, when they've usually led the way with screen tech. My comment on price was only to correct the other guy who was implying the MBP was cheaper. I'm not denying both laptops are fantastic. Although I'm guessing the Vaio will be lighter in this case, because I had to get the 15inch because an i5 processor wasn't an option on the 13 inch.
I'm not trying to argue, merely question why Sony has a higher res screen at 13 inch. Just that guy jumped on my comment like I was trying to flame. Which I assure everyone isn't my intention. Maybe they have good reasons for that res on the 13 MBP, I'm curious on peoples opinions for it.

I wanna know how this would work...so I'd have one HDD with 16 GB SSD and another solely SSD? I don't really get that. I don't need 2 HDD, I just want one 256 GB SSD, so is that gonna even be possible. Guess I'll have to wait and see...
Student? If you are often on your feet go 13'' dude. Unless you need the graphics and video edit stuff but then your college should offer those facilities.
Yeah, I totally get what you're saying.
Besides, doesn't arn = grain of salt? Or perhaps not. If these offerings are even 80% accurate, I'm going to be very tempted to sell my 15" 2.66 i7 w/OWC Mercury Extreme 120 + 500 GB Momentus XT dual drive system, in favour of the better screen resolution and battery life.
I wonder if there'll be an option to get a higher-than-1680x1050 option on the 15s....
What if the 16 SSD is hidden from the user, only being able to see it by modifying some checkbox in finder preferences?
I just bought a MBP a week ago so i still have the option to return it and upgrade. Should i return it before thursday to make sure i get a full refund and theyre not like wtf this is an old one.... OR should i just wait till thursday and return it + upgrade in the same day?
Of course, it will be possible like they offer it now. You just have to pay more.
256 GB SSD is very expensive.
Did you really expect an i5/i7 in a 13" macbook pro? This is apple we're talking about. Just be thankful its not Core 2 Duo anymore.
Most people uses optical drive in their life, i cannot imagine using a laptop without one. External drive just doesnt cut it when you have to bring an addiation drive out, it is just not very convienent.
Well Sony Z is actually alot lighter than apples laptops and has better specs for the same price...
and the resale value of a year old sony z is pretty high too...
They don't put such an high resolution on the 13 because they can't, they don't because they don't want to.
1080P on a 13" inch? Useless except for spec addicts
Just having a stripped down 13 inch with the same MBP body would be great. If they can still hit the $999 price point on the "bare bones" option.
that would make sense, personally i don't use the os files unless i modify like the dock, or things of that nature (but not much at all). its probably better for regular users anyway, not as confusing
It probably won't be $100 for matte if the resolutions are the same. The $150 difference now is just because the resolution is also bumped up and the high res glossy is +100 so I'm assuming they'll either return it to either for the same price like my generation or make it +50, at least I hope.
I had an i5 in a Vaio CW series that I bought last year and I was not all that impressed. But maybe that's because Apple OS kills Windows 7 haha
Most People won't use an optical drive in their life, I cannon imagine using a laptop with one.
2 years from now, dvd drives in laptops will be vintage
