    So, about those laptop comparisons, eh? Back on topic please, and less of the personal abuse (before or after editing it out).

    I use a 13' daily, given the choice i'd change to 15'

    Refurbs are quite literally as good as new, you can send it back if not up to your expectations.

    Thunderbolt I cant imagine being anywhere near "standard" for another 2-3 years anyhow.

    BUT the OP keeps bringing up the 13' and making excuses for buying one (Eyesight is great, intel graphics aren't so bad etc...).

    So it sounds like you really want a 13' :D .. buy what YOU want, both are fantastically great machines.

    Cognitive dissonance at work!

    Anyway, it's madness getting a 13" Macbook Pro given it's screen resolution. Plenty of people will say "oh, it's fine for me". That's fair enough, just try to avoid having a go of a 13" Macbook Air! :D

    In fact, if you can wait, wait and see if they bring out Sandy Bridge Macbook Airs this Summer. You'd get your Intel graphics and 13" screen but at a decent res!

    My refurb has been running really well so far, it's a macbook pro 13" from last nov. I had an issue with the connection from the mother board to the hard drive but apple fixed that under warranty except when I got it back they forgot to reconnect the sleep sensor that detects the lid when closed, drove me mad. All in all tho the refurbs are really good. looked brand new when I got it.

    I'm currently on 13" 2009 model. I'm leaning towards a 15" maybe at then end of the year. The sole deciding factor as to why 15" is the increased screen resolution.
