I recently purchased a black MacBook c2d. I am now contemplating trading it for a MBP c2d 15". Are the only difference the video and screen size? I really love the size of the 13" MB, but I really love the fact that the MBP has a seperate video card. How much better is the performance of the MBP (both the 128mb and 256mb versions)? My last day to bring back my MacBook is tomorrow, so please let me know. Your input is appreciated.

The MBP also has an expresscard/34 slot. This is an important slot for add on peripherals like E_SATA cards and in the future graphics cards.

I don't do any gaming at all, but maybe a little video editing. No need anymore, I already switched and am happy with my decision. I just had my friend pick me up a MB cd 2.0 for 898 at a compusa blowout, so now I have the best of both world

It's "Brewed" not "Juiced"
