I'm trying to decide whether or not to pickup the pro or the macbook. I'm not a big gamer or graphics user so the gpu upgrade isn't worth it, but there are a few other considerations that I was hoping you could help me with.
1. No firewire- this sucks, but how much slower is it than USB2? Is there a way to link firewire to the ethernet jack?
2. I have a MBP right now and enjoy the screen real estate for opening two documents simultaneously- do people who have experience using both have any thoughts on general screen real estate issues?
3. HD- The MB only allows upgrades with the 5400 rpm hard-drives. Are 7200 rpm HDs that much faster? If they are, is there a way to install a 7200 HD into a new MB myself?
Thanks for any thoughts
