The Macbook I'm looking out is the same (single aluminum body), just smaller.

I wish I could afford a larger one (I do a ton of design work which calls for larger screens, faster processors, etc) but there's a trade-off in cost (mainly cost, really, since ... grad student) and portability (I take my computer basically everywhere I go, so ounces matter.)

Ah, well, next time around, when I'm rich.

Oh, the cool thing about the MacBooks are that they so very easily can be used with other monitors for extra real estate. So, you end up with the palettes on the MacBook screen and the page layout on a large second monitor.

My plan is to eventually spring for the 24-in Cinema LED monitor at some point... (when I win the lottery).

If you're going to be doing a lot of design stuff, just pick up a second LCD monitor and connect it to your laptop. You can get them for dirt cheap these days off newegg. I just picked up a 20" widescreen for $120...
