The macbook has the same display (sans the LED). And many non-compact notebooks are in 12'',13'', or 14'' size now.

Yeah well my MacBook Pro is a 17" which I guess is why I couldn't stand anything smaller.

Yeah I know, when I switched to 15.4'' (from 14) I thought it was too big. But now I'm thankful. But a smaller screen really isn't that bad.

I would rather have smaller and lighter for portability with the option to plug it into a docking station for regular use.

I just don't know how you could look at a 13" next to a 17" and pick the 13".

Gripes
1) 80 GB Hard Drive
2) No Firewire
3) No Superdrive (External is worthless on a flight or in class)
4) Watch movies you rent from iTunes!? WTF Proprietary BS!
5) $1,799 for <2 ghz
6) $3,000 for <2 ghz and a 64gb HD and no Superdrive

It looks nice though, I hope they redesign the MBP like that, and I miss my illuminated keyboard.

That of course depends on how often you're going to have to carry it around.
