MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?

I'm hearing a lot of great things about the MacBook Air. I'm wondering how many of you have bought one instead of the Pro or downsized into one? Is the 13" screen sufficient for your average web worker who doesn't do web design or programming?

I have the 13" MB Pro. Screen size is more than enough for me. I even have a 27" monitor in my home office and I only plug into about half the time.

Brian -

I agree with Cam on 13'' being plenty for daily work. They new Macs have good enough resolution to optimize your real estate.

However, I went with the Air over the Pro. I was certainly on the fence (smaller hard drive, bit less battery life, PRICE), but after reading reviews on how fast the flash storage is, I was sold. The Air boots up really quickly and weighs next to nothing.

Just make sure you install a flash blocker...

Thanks, Cam. You're a pretty damn good comp for my day-to-day, so I appreciate the response.
