They keep beefing up the MacBook and I feel it's much more of a viable
solution for people versus the MacBook Pro. I think the main driving
force for the latter would be the need for a better graphics GPU. Or
if you need a ExpressCard slot.

The resale values are good too, which makes up for any higher unfront
costs.
