$1,130.00
Pros
- allows the option for 1440x900 resolution on a 14.1" screen
- ATI Mobility Radeon 3000-series runs cool and quiet, and is superior to on board Intel
graphics 5-10x
- only 4.7 pounds (compared to 4.5 for the new and improved 13.3" MacBook) can always be improved!
Cons
- no DisplayPort output - even though it's supported on the discrete graphics models
- poor speakers
- 6-cell and 9-cell batteries don't sit flush at the top - they stick out quite a bit
