Seriously considering the new Macbook Pro.

Just coming to terms with the changes. I need to find out what the quality of the panel is first. (If it's a Macbook Air's, then I'm out).

I ordered the reasonably priced one.

Now I shall let the true fanboys argue over which one I mean, whilst the rest of us laugh.

Really? I sold my last-gen 17" MBP 1920x1200 for the Macbook Air's superior screen and keyboard.

Personal choice I guess.

I just love that I can now use it outdoors.

tilt that screen back about 5 millimeters and watch your entire colour and density change in an instant!

(hint: that's bad).

Side note: I actually owned a Macbook air for 6 months, and that was my only gripe with it.

Will order a new MB with new cinema display, cant justify a MBP as MB seem so close now and will put extra cash into cinema display.

Agreed. My iBook G4 is still holding the fort for my needs... Whilst I would dearly love to get my hands on a new machine, the new prices really sting.

None, because I'm happy with my nearly-a-year-old white one that was cheaper

I'll be ordering the 2.4GHz Macbook, but I'll have to wait until the money I transferred from my savings account across into my Visa debit account appears before I can do so.

None of the above. The new MBP is too expensive, and I've got a Penryn at the moment. If the new MBP was cheaper (i.e. our dollar wasn't crap), I'd very much consider selling this one and buying one of the new ones.
