    There is no such thing as a 12" Macbook Pro.

    It is pretty hard to add all those features in the macbook pro a 13" notebook.

    prolly cuz heat from a 12/13" will most definitely burn holes through any desk.

    The new 13.3" notebook doesn't have a dedicated GPU, so Apple can automatically just wipe GPU heat problems right off the board (the GMA 950 produces almost no heat compared to dedicated cards). The only thing Apple had to deal with is the CPU - hopefully this time, there won't be heat issues.

    No, it isn't. If anything, the Vaio SZ (which has more features then even the 17" MBP) proves that a small notebook doesn't have to cut back the features.
