    Just picked up the baseline MBP 13 yesterday and I love it. The design is so sleek and the system is very fast. Only downfall would be the lower screen resolution, but it not bad at all. The screen is crisp and glossy, just the text size isn't as great compared to 1440x900 screens. There is so much to explore on it, I'm still figuring it out..especially the track pad.

    They pretty much, run you through all the trackpad's capabilities in:

    System Preferences > Trackpad

    I agree.. a 1440x900 would have made this perfect. Considering the iPad is 1024x768.. you think it wouldn't have killed them to put in something more up to date.

    My favorite part is the touchpad.. I never knew how bad most other laptop touchpads were before using this... the two-touch scroll is so simple yet no one else can pull it off.

    Congrats! And yes, two-finger scroll is the best innovation on the trackpad! I love it!
