I’ve never heard a computer referred to as a “blogging tool” before. It makes sense.

Hoping this new one would be better than the earlier one.
Changes would definately bring about positive changes in my blogging also.

Matthew, you didn’t mention the obvious advantage to the MacBook Pro over the MacBook – screen size. If 13″ is too small for you, there’s no other option.

Me, I’ll be getting a 17″ MacBook Pro towards the end of this year, after OS X 10.5 arrives and the overheating issues are sorted out.

As mentioned by Craig, there is not much advantage to the Macbook Pro. It does have a 7200rpm, better graphics card, and dual DVI, but how often will you use any of that? With an external firewire drive this machine could be just as powerful for video/image editing.

Also, the Macbook is absolutely amazing for its class. Unless you don’t need a remote, bluetooth, and firewire connectivity, you will be paying more for a similar 12″ or 13″ laptop with Core Solo or a Pentium M! The Macbook Pro, IMHO is not priced as competitively.

My iBook has changed my entire working style– it is practically an extension of my body now, and I don’t even mind.

I’m glad they made the new MacBook cool enough to talk about, but not so cool that I would feel bad about my relatively recent second-hand iBook purchase.

My wife and I are already fighting over the iBook. A second laptop with quickly become a “necessity,” and this looks like it will fit the bill.

The problem with the MacBook is that it’s glossy screen reflects everything!

ooh interesting Bill.

I have a similar dynamic going. I do my grunt work from the desktop and my laptop’s work is largely two types:

1. lighter blogger from the couch while I’m watching TV
2. heavier blogging (actual writing in depth stuff) while I’m away from the web altogether (usually in a cafe somewhere).

This brings up an interesting dynamic in my whole style of blogging. I do not use a Mac at all but I do use a desktop at home and a desktop at work and my laptop at home really does not have much power but I find is good for kicking back on the couch to type longer posts. I think my best quality posts come on the lpatop because my thought process on that machine is different.

On a cursory glance the only real difference in the specifications is the video and no dual DVI that would drive the big 30 LCD screen. I have a PB12G4. Looking at this new one, I am ready to buy…
