I plan to go with a Macbook for my college than Macbook Pro. It's just cheaper mainly. I need those same specs: 2 GB RAM and 120 GB HD. But the screen size, while small, is actually for the better. It's much more logical for it to be small since you need it to be portable, and when you get home you can just plug it into a larger monitor. Then there's the whole issue about which laptop of safer. That is, which has less defects. The Macbook Pro seems to take the cake here as well. So you made the right choice! You're only missing out on a slightly faster CPU, larger screen size, and IAlertU (car alarm for the Mac basically).
