Schtuv Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 What are you buying it for? i.e. for email and "internet" a MacBook is fine. If you're running 3DSM you'll need a MacBook Pro stuffed full of RAM ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 it will be mostly internet - perhaps a bit of parrallels, lots of movie/music/iphone stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a Macbook and if you have the cash I'd say go for the Pro. Slightly larger is the only downside so a tad less portable but all in all a much more capable machine (though my Macbook is great for what I bought it for ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 *pats his MBP* If you don't need the graphics, go for a MB. If you need to use apps which rely on graphics card and RAM or want a higher res screen without so much colour bleed or dithering it's MBP all the way. Also the 17 hi-res screen is just loooovely. Oh and buy a MATTE screen not glossy! Oh yeah look at macrumor's buyer's guide too http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Portable_Macs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have a macbook and it suits me fine for most things. Of course, I'd prefer the faster larger screened MBP - if only because it's made of nice aluminium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of upgrading my MBP at the moment so curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
