Here's what I'm going to tell you. I have the 15 inch myself BTW. Are you going to be doing any type of heavy photo editing, movie editing, orgaming. If not then get the 13. If so then the 9600 GT graphics card will make a difference and the 15 inch is worth investing into. Otherwise get a 13 inchand enjoy.

Are you running Snow Leopard?
What version of Candybar are you running?

IF you are not going to be doing intensive graphics work don't bother with the 15 inch. Trust me it won't be worth it to you. Plusit's an extra lb to tug around as well

No Snow Leopard, version 3.2.1 just updated today

Have you tried restarting the dock via Terminal?

Type "killall dock" and press enter I believe. May have to capitalize the D.

I got a new macbookpro today (thanks applecare), and does anyone know how to transfer over microsoft office?
I tried migration assistant, but i could only transfer EVERY application, which I didnt want.

So does anyone know how to transfer a single application from migration assitant?
Or a way to transfer microsoft office by itself?


Because my office 2004 discs are at home, and I'm at school right now, so itd take a bit for my parents to send them over to me

thanksss

I'm using a 13 inch MBP for university and it's great. I would highly recommend it, but I'm coming from a 14 inch so it wasn'tmuch of a transition.
