The pros: So many! Lightweight, good battery life, lovely Mac operating system, great software you can buy like iLife and iWork, and virtualization software like VMWare that takes any last doubt away about needing Windows for something. Easy wifi/bluetooth. Cost for it all.
The cons: This configuration chokes on motion graphics/ intensive video rendering in pro apps, even with 4 GIGs ram. Still need a Mac Pro desktop to do that. The screen is NOT okay to use for graphics editing, as it has fewer colors, and a bad aspect ratio that changes the colors when in different positions. You can still plug it into a real monitor with fine results, but being a laptop, one would like to be able to see accurately the colors of things when editing photos, etc. So that is a decided con on this model. Also, a little less durable and fake feeling than the higher end laptop.
Overall great model for most users, very flexible for work and for play, but pro design users should consider other (read: more expensive) mac models first.
