[GRLUG] laptop suggestions

[Kevin McCarthy]

Probably. I got them from Apple's site, but maybe they've released a new
version and haven't updated it yet. I haven't been following Apple because
I don't think I'm ever buying anything that says "Apple" on it again. ;-)

Of course the 0.03" difference is at the thickest point, and since a
Macbook Air is tapered to 0.11" at its thinnest point, it seems reasonable
that the Pro would be 0.5 lb heavier because it's that thick all the way
across.
