New Core 2 Duo MacBook
Following in the foot steps of it’s elder sibling, the consumer MacBook has now also made the jump to the Core 2 Duo CPUs from Intel.
Sometimes, I really wonder if I need a Pro model. No doubt, the MacBook Pros look better with the aluminum casing, more screen estate and better graphics card but since I design more websites than heavy-duty-printed-materials these days, maybe I don’t need the MacBook Pro for it’s better graphics capabilities. Screen estate, that is something a designer can never get enough of anyway therefore I will have to get an additional 23″ Cinema Display for hooking up to the laptop.
I also happen to be one of those idiots who are always lusting over new updated versions of everything. By getting a MacBook, I won’t need to fork out as much money as I would need for a MacBook Pro (literally double price) and when the time comes for me to sell it off, I won’t loose as much from the re-sale either.
Hmmmmm… definitely worth thinking about…

Indeed, it is… definitely worth thinking about.
I went through the same thinking some months ago, in particular with the damage-control thinking, I need to have recent stuff too.
So, I ended up buying the MacPro, but only because I got it heavily discounted
