Excellent point. I think thats a good base to start off of. They even waited to discontinue until a few weeks after the MBP was released.

I was thinking further about integrated graphics in a 12" MBP, it would not be capable of running aperture, which I have dealt with TONS of photographers who are in love with the 12". It would be ashame to not have a small portable that could handle your work like that.

Personally, the 12/13.3" MBP will be my sole machine with a 20" display connected when its being used as a desktop. So I really would prefer dedicated graphics as I *might* install windows to play counterstrike.
