Unless you're in first class, you can't open your computer if the guy in front of you reclines. I've done minimal video editing, and speed is everything. iMovie is very cumbersome w/o the fastest processor you can get. Yeah… the size is a huge pain when you travel.

This gives me something to do later, say a year+ down the road, to "refresh" my laptop and give it a little pep in its step again. Plus, as tpaulding says... hardware gets cheaper with age. I recently upgraded my HD from 200gb to 320gb for $80. And it's probably cheaper even now. I was so worried that I wouldn't want to carry the 17 around and that it would be too heavy. But I have yet to complain. I always max out my CPU but almost never max out the RAM and HD.

It may have some initial "bleeding edge" quirks, but Apple is hella responsive to fix these. Not M$ or Dell by a long shot. I went back and read the other comments on page 1 and it looks liek a lot of the same advice. Go with 15+monitor or 17 stand alone. Whatever you do, don't upgrade the RAM via Apple. Buy it with base amount and then go to NewEgg.com. You'll shave a few hundred off the price easy. I would. It may have some initial "bleeding edge" quirks, but Apple is hella responsive to fix these.

If you don't need the dual video cards save the money and get the 15" MacBook fully loaded. Remember this isn't your average Win Laptop, memory and processor speed go a lot further on a Mac. Of course this isn't my primary machine for design work but it suits just fine for meetings and travel. I was going to get a Macbook Air but the weight difference was so small I went for 3x the power for half the price. I have the 15" MacBook (non pro).
