Which Macbook should I get
Should I get the MacBook Pro, or the regular MacBook? I like the added features of the Pro, but is it really worth that much extra money?

You know what I have noticed about Apple? If you have to ask, you don't need it.

And remember, you won't need that much RAM because Mac doesn't use all of it. I say go for Pro if you need the Pro or normal if you need the normal

Pro is good if you have the extra. If you want cheaper, buy a regular macbook, but get the 2.4GHz white one. Then upgrade its HD and RAM here at macsales.com
Thats almost what i did but i have 2.2GHz. lol look at my sig

LOL Aiyo, wanna give me your Macbook? And you keep the pro? haha. Im going to college for Web design and computer engineering so yea, I guess Ill need the extras. I have one more year of high school left, but Ive always done Windows, so I thought get it this summer so I can get Leopard down good enough where I dont have to learn it and do college at the same time.

Best of luck and let us know how you fare. Originally Posted by CAPcadetJC

The only real benefit of the Pro is the bigger screen. I had the same dilemma, but when I found out the newer Macbooks can also run Final Cut Studio, I went for the cheaper route. Originally Posted by CAPcadetJC
