Not that you asked me, but I have a Macbook with an external monitor. I have yet to regret saving the $1K by avoiding the Pro. Web programming is not processor intensive.

I intend to take that $1K and put it toward an iMac -- that'll give me two Macs and three screens, and the iMac will provide the larger hard drive and improved video performance that I don't have with the Macbook. Plus, when the Macbook is away for its warranty repairs, I get to keep working!

mechanical_fish: Thanks! I really appreciate you responding, and agree with you in that it makes sense to attach it to an external monitor.

I guess I am pretty convinced that the Mac Book is the way to go, and spending the extra 1000 on a iMac (or Mini) isn't a bad idea.
