Time for a change...
Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 1:40PM 
Finally decided that I will go for a MacBook Pro after all.
Unusually, I've also decided that I'll sell the 1st gen MacBook Air to help finance the switch.
It's a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1st Gen with 2GB memory and an 80GB PATA hard drive. I'll also throw in a MBA Superdrive plus the USB Ethernet Adapter, along with a VGA and a DVI adapter. Plus a Tucano cover
The machine is in terrific nick and has served me well over the past 14 months or so. The only marks are two smallish scratches on the underside of the machine. Everything else is perfect.
Just set up an eBay auction - Search for item 250403725147

Sorry mate.... but I already have one....
1.86GHZ, 2GB, 128GB SSD
I will pass on to people interested in buying a MacBook Air....
However... I commend you on your decision on buying the MacBook Pro 15"..... I've not got a 15"... but I'm sure it will be a beast....
My 17" is well.... I haven't yet found anything that has taxed it :D
Don't get the ram mixed up... on this occasion.. and this occasion only... buy from apple... as it is such a faf to change the ram on the new unibody machines... Max it out if you can afford to... I could only put 4GB in mine... because of paying for the matte display and 2.93GHZ processor and a 500GB from somewhere else... (the hard-drive happens to be really really easily changeable..)
The other thing... is some people have experienced graphics issues with the 9400M chipset... I haven't yet (Fingers Crossed) but my friend bought a MacBook and it went back with complete graphics shutdown and freezing after only about 15Mins of use...
So Like Be aware... not that I think that it will happen... :)

This is very tempting. I might ask my Dad for an early birthday present.
Nooooooo. Tear's!
Damn missed this one.. Just purchased a Macbook Air for my son and gone for the 1.6Ghz new model with 120GB and Nvidia graphics. Would have considered this if I had seen it. Good luck with your sale.
You will love the Unibody Macbook Pro, got mine a month ago and it is fantastic. Slick, fast and just well beautiful....But boy will it feel heavy after the Macbook Air!!!
