I am getting the Macbook pro entry level.
i may upgrade to the faster hdd, but i am not sure if they have that option at the store yet, and i do not feel like waiting.

very funny...
i am excited because i got home yesterday and my house was robbed...
every piece of technology i owned was gone...
digital camera
imac 24inch
apple tv...
everything, gone...
so i cannot really see the humor in me being excited about getting a new computer when i was robbed so horribly.

So now here is the update.
She got the Macbook 1299 model, and I got the top of the line 15 MBP.
I am getting both of them setup and I love them both.
I should not be allowed in the Apple Store because with my MBP and misc other items, i nearly hit 4g's

They seem to love to see me coming.
I will state like most people have said so far, there is very little difference that can be seen between the 2 machines.
Both are solid, and Apple has changed the game again with a great product and the trackpad/touchpad.
It really takes some getting used to, but it is really a true innovation.
