Used and love macs, but never owned. Should I?

I really want to buy the Macbook Pro (the new ones). Well, its more i really want a mac, and notebooks suit me better, and the pro seems so much better. Should I go for the Macbook, the Macbook pro or wait for something better?
Also, which one out of the three different macbooks do you think should i go for?

TOPICS: Mac OS X

Yeah I find the size...

Yeah I find the size and formfactor of the MB superior to the MBP. The *only* complaint I have is on how a game performs. So, honestly I would get the MB again and again.

I don't need a bigger display (have multi-head 20x17 on my G5) or expansion slot (wireless Internet via Bluetooth to my mobile).

So what, I'm going to pay $500-800 more for a bigger machine for better video?

It just wasn't worth it to me. I don't like carrying big computers.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
