Nice to see the FW800 port make a comeback. But apart from a fractional speedbump and the inclusion of a dual layer 8x burner the specs are pretty much the same as the 15" MacBook - screen size not withstanding. In fact, I believe you can get the faster processor as a build to order option on the 15"... They should have given you a faster GFX, if only to make Wil have to rerun all those XP game benchmarks.
I'm surprised that the graphics isn't better but everything else on the spec makes sense. Price up a similiar 15in though and it's more expensive by £60 than the same spec (less ports and no dl) 17inch. That doesnt make sense.
I know. In US $ it's 100 dollars or so. I'd definitely get the 17incher if I was making a decision now... Strange.
