I live in Denver, Colorado and I bought the new 2.2 GHZ Santa Rosa Matte screen Macbook Pro in June for College. I quickly found out that MBP was overkill for what I did: music, surfing, iweb, movies, wordprocessing. Also, though it is light, the size is not really portable. Though the battery life is 2.5 to 4 hours depending on what I do, I was hoping for at least 5 hours since I travel alot.

I would like to sell it and buy a blackbook instead, saving money and getting portability as well. Do you think that this is a good move? It's less than 6 weeks old and lightly used, and I don't know if I can get a good price on it. I am a neat freak, so I bought
iskin
led protector
Red Speck
Leather Brenthaven bag
Apple Care
Tax

for it. I'm thinking of trading it for a blackbook and some cash. Do you think that it is wise to do this trade?

Or do you think it is better to sell it (all accesories and apple care included)? Is this unrealistic for me to even though i've used it for about 5 weeks? I spent alot of money on it and I kind of wish I got the blackbook and get an iphone with the money saved.

Is the MBP worth the investment, or should I sell it/ trade it. And if I sell it, what is a good, fair value that I should try to sell it for without me losing too much money? Advice will be appreciated.
