hey,
I'm currently running a black macbook 13" 2.Ghz duo, with 2GB memory.
I use it mostly for live music / video performance, and do all my work on a G5 Quad. I'm considering doing an ebay purge and uppingthe macbook to a new 17" C2D MBP.
I'd love to be using a bigger screen at the 17" has such a high resolution. The 13" is sometimes pretty frustrating. I'd choose matte over glass any day. I'd also be choosing the smaller, but faster 7200 HD.
Things that hold me back relate to the MBP's hardware / aesthetic (we all like a nice looking machine don't we?)... The keyboards feel so flimsy in comparison, and pseudo metallic casing, again, feels much cheaper than the black macbooks matte (knowing and proud) plastic.
However, these things asside, it all comes down to performance. I can image the advertised statistic of up to 39% might be pretty stretched. Does anyone have experience in using both machines, and where there any noticeable differences?
My laptop is used mostl for audio work, and some live video playback.
any thoughts?
I'd appreciate your help
cheers
