cool, it's nice how they brought the fit and finish of the pro's down  
to the smaller screen sizes again like the 12" powerbooks were. My  
girlfriend got a 15" through her school, did not get a huge discount  
but a free iPod touch :P

Except for my early screen quality problems I'm loving my 17", it's  
amazing having a powerful laptop with a slightly larger than HD  
display so thin, quiet and light. Right now my only monitor setup is  
the laptop screen and a wacom cintiq 12wx and it's sweet. I only miss  
a big ol' quad or octo desktop during big aftereffects and 3d  
rendering sessions but it's totally manageable, this machine is pretty  
quick at rocking out frames. And the new batteries kick ass, at  
production meetings when others are fumbling to plug in power cords my  
battery just lasts and lasts.
