Hello all,
I have read most of the posts regarding white spots. Is it fair to say that most of the white spots issue (maybe latch issue, too) mainly affect the 15" Al?

My thinking is, if I can live with the smaller screen, I would like to get a 12" PB, because it is cheaper, and its main use is for office apps, presentation, web, etc., and in case the next revision comes I would feel better haven't waited long enough

Anyway, is it fair to say in general 12" PB has "better" overall quality?

Thanks for your input.

The 12" has its flaws as well (ie. warping, heat, uneven illumination). Your chances of getting a 15" with white spots has lessened now so I would confidently say that both machines are built equally well. Both are very capable machines and you wont be dissapointed in either. I have a 12" and I love the damn thing, you could say all you want about low resolution or maximum ram or screensize, it's the best computer I've owned.

Thanks for your feedback.

I thought those issues you mentioned mainly be found in 15". I also saw that even if I order one now, I may still get one which is made back in Oct of last year, so probably some of the problems are still there.

I hope that if I go out and get one, either 12" or 15", I will make sure the manufacture date is recent, and the shop will allow me to open it and take a look at the screen.

I seem to recall there is a thread discussing how to understand the serial number vs. manufacture date, can you guys point me to that?

Thanks again.
