Default MacBook Pro.

I've finally aquired a job (Yay!) and so I've got several savings set up, one of which is for a nice computer. I'm planning on getting a MacBook Pro, but I don't know whether to go 15.4", or 17". I know this doesn't seem like a big thing, but with 3K, I want everything I want.

If anyones' watched a recent episode of Diggnation, Kevin's MacBook is the perfect size, I just don't know what size that is.

My buddy has the 17" Powerbook G4, and the thing is freakin' huge. Not something I would want to carry to class or on vacation. Also, the screen weighs so much that if you just put a tiny push on it, the hinge has a hard time stopping it as the hinge is almost too weak to support the thing.
I say go down to your local Apple Store and decide which is best for you though.

A laptop is supposed to be mobile......
Unless you plan to keep it at your house all the time.....
Remember, things look bigger on tv....
