13-inch Macbook Pro get's more praise

Computer World's Ken Mingis praises the new MacBook Pro... if your in the market for purchasing a new laptop it's worth the read. Definitely a buyers market now, especially with Google entering the Netbook Market...

  • "Wider gamut" means more life-like colors and deeper color saturation. As an example, I took a picture this spring of a purplish-blue iris that, on the just-discontinued MacBook, looked very good. But on the new MacBook Pro, the same picture is stunning. - Mingis

  • "the smaller Pro models not only get processor speed bumps, they also get a major improvement in battery life, an SD card slot, a FireWire 800 port, a better LED screen and, debuting in the entry-level version, Apple's highly regarded backlit keyboard. (As someone who used the 2.0GHz MacBook -- the one without the lighted keyboard -- for a couple of months, I can attest to the usefulness of the backlighting, especially with the black keys.)" Mingis

White Macbook vs Macbook Pro(Aluminum unibody)

A grade faster processor, a slice thinner, a hair split .5 pounds lighter, by far stronger aluminum vs polycarbonate the 13" Macbook Pro looks to be a clear winner and big step from the 13" Macbook White.

Previously a review between the Macbook White vs Macbook Pro/Aluminum(all pro's r now aluminum) choosing the best of was a very close call. And the difference was at least $300 that was hard to justify the upgrade.

Now the 13" Macbook Pro has all of the following below that the Macbook white doesn't. And only a $200 difference that's seems to be well worth the upgrade.

  • Multi-Touch Track Pad
  • Illuminated Keyboard
  • Firewire 800 vs Mac White firewire 400
  • SD Card Slot
  • Longer Battery life by 2 hours
  • DDR3 SDRAM
  • LED Backlit Screen
  • and of course the aluminum unibody
If your in the market for a new Macbook, the 13" Macbook Pro seems like a obvious choice. If you already have a Intel Core 2 duo above 2GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Macbook, its better to wait til prices fall. Probably around fourth quarter next year or when they drop Snow Leopard. Your missing but not missing that much.

I bolding predict that they'll remove Macbook White or over haul it and drop the 13" Macbook Pro to $999.

Bottom line:
Bringing in an SD slot and bringing back the FireWire port—while also lowering prices—eliminated Apple's weakest links in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Add bigger, better battery life

Unparalleled multi-touch gestures. Best-looking chassis in its class. Sturdy. Return of the FireWire port. Bigger, better battery life than its predecessor's. Lower prices. Backlit keyboard. Loaded with green cred. Now with an SD slot.


What are your thoughts? What would you end up buying?
