All my Macs are pre-Intel currently. The oldest, I've had over ten years, and it's still a workhorse, still going strong. But, the handwriting is on the wall, and I'll have to get a new one soon.

I'm thinking MacBook Pro 17,” since it's my first generation Titanium PowerBook, that's got the most wear and tear. It tangled with a dog while on the arm of the sofa, recharging. The case is bent. Hardwood and laptop casings don't mix. This one faired pretty well all said and done, still works fine, but the charge is intermittent, since it hit the floor on that corner. I won't charge it unless I'm in the room.

"I'm thinking MacBook Pro 17"

A stunningly good machine. Not the most portable, but powerful and with the best display and the best battery life in the industry. If you can accept its width and weight, you won't regret owning that beautiful machine.

One word of advice, regardless of what machine (and OS, for that matter) you consider: max out the RAM. Usually it's cheaper to add the RAM yourself from a third-party source, but not always. In salivating over a new MacBook Pro recently, I found Apple's RAM prices were actually better than third-party. But that can change on any given day, given the dynamics of the RAM market.

Macbook Pro 17” is my first Mac, and I adore it! You won’t be sorry. Not once have I said “I hate you” to my Macbook. I say it on a regular and repeated basis to my hubby’s Compaq and to the pc’s at work. :)
