So, in about two paychecks I'll have enough for the 15 " MacBook Pro.
I was originally going to get an iPad 2, but decided that since I would much rather have a laptop (I already have an iPod Touch and an Android phone, so the iPad 2 was actually really unnecessary, tbh).
I was just wondering if anyone on UD had a MacBook Pro (or MacBook or MacBook Air), since I'm looking for just some reassurance that I'm not just wasting $1,500.
I was talking to one of my friends, who didn't find it justifiable that I was planning on spending an extra $300 for two inches of extra screen, but the 13 " does look pretty small, and the 15 " seems to be much faster, and is able to hold more storage, etc.
ANYWAY, reviews, recommendations, etc. are welcome and encouraged in this thread. Thanks!

I have an MBP also, and I too love it. About screen size, it depends on whatever size your computer screen is now. For example, if you are going from a smaller to larger screen, it will feel bigger. Same goes vice versa. So, you will only notice it if you have something to compare to.PeterPanfan wrote:I've never seen a 15 " in person, so do you think the screen size is fine?PatrickvD wrote:I'm typing you this from my 15 " Macbook Pro and I guarantee you..
... it is awesome!
You won't regret it, trust me!
Another factor, take in your backpack size. If you want to carry your laptop in there, think whether a 17" will fit.

sorry for my late response. But yeah, I think the size is perfect. I find 13 " a bit too small. Unless you plan on carrying it around. In that case 13 " is a bit more convenient.PeterPanfan wrote:I've never seen a 15 " in person, so do you think the screen size is fine?PatrickvD wrote:I'm typing you this from my 15 " Macbook Pro and I guarantee you..

I use a 13 " and it's the perfect size for me, perfect lap size that is.PatrickvD wrote:sorry for my late response. But yeah, I think the size is perfect. I find 13 " a bit too small.
