what is the difference between the macbooks and the macbook pro's?
except for screen resolution, design, and cosmetic features, an equally equiped MacBook costs less than MacBook Pro of the same system features such as hard drive, RAM, processor speed, and FSB speed. so what is the extra 1,000 dollars for the MacBook Pro for? an extra two inches of screen? im confused. and im wanting to get a macbook (the cool black one) but i feel like im mising something cause i can get a 2.0ghz intel core duo with 80gig HD and 1gig of ram with the same 667mhz FSB in a MacBook for almost 1000 dollars less than an equally equiped MacBook Pro. anyone? ![]() |

The MacBook can draw to another display as well, but it will only mirror it's built-in LCD image, not have an extended desktop. the MacBook actually supports "extended desktop". it is not disabled like the iBooks were. Really?! Wow. I was not aware of that. Ok, so then, yeah, that dramatically reduces the gap. If you're not gonna play any games or do any graphics work, or need the expresscard expansion slot, there's no difference. Just a tiny bit of processor speed, screen size, and hard drive size (but you're gonna have a bunch of externals anyway as a musician.) -------------------- "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
