Pros:

lighted keyboard, it just works, Video Chat

Cons:

cost,

I bought a Macbook Pro for my daughter to take to college. She wanted a Windows machine but I could not get the battle I had with some viruses out of my head and imagined her grades suffering because she lost files due to a virus at an expensive university!

I went with the Macbook Pro partly because of the back-lit keyboard. She can work in a dark dorm room and still see her keys.

At school I set up an airport express to ensure her printing and internet remained wireless, while I was at it I hooked up the express to her stereo so she can play her itunes to her receiver. It's very cool.

Last night we had a breif video conference on I-chat and she was able to say good night to her 3 year old brother.

It's expensive, but considering what a huge part of her education this will be over the next 4 years it's seems small. Spend the extra money and get the extended warranty, and don't be a stupid computer user-BUY AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES! It's the best $130 bucks you will ever spend!
