First off I would like to apologise for yet another one of these threads, however there are a few questions I wanted to ask and can't seem to find any decent answers on the net, so thought I would post on here.
Like many people I'm unsure which notebook to get. It's basically a choice between the lowest MBP and the high-end white MB. I've currently got a 2.16GHz Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) MBP. The main reason I'm replacing is because I thought it was about time to get rid of the old laptop, as I've had it a while.
Normally while on the laptop I will be doing the following things.
#Listening to iTunes
#Browsing the net
#Talking on Adium
#Mail open in the background
I also design websites it Dreamweaver CS3, mostly working in code view, and do a small amount of image creating in Photoshop CS3, but nothing major, normally just interface parts for websites. Don't listen to iTunes while web designing.
I don't really play any games, maybe the odd flash game now and again , but that's all. I was going to go for the MB and not the MBP mainly due to price, however after reading lots on the net I had a few doubts whether it would be good enough, so have the following questions;D .
1. I like to listen to music quite a bit, however read that the speakers on the MB aren't very good. When I had my Windows Laptop the speakers were very tinney. Is it true that the MB speakers are crap, or are the speakers on the MB as good as the MBP (The ones on my current MBP are fine)?
2. I watch movies now and again on my laptop, is the MB okay with HD movies 720p ? (Normally I'm only watching DVDs, however watch HD movies now and again)
3. Battery life any good. I know it tells you on the apple site, however I didn't know if these were accurate. I currently get about an hour and half of battery life if browsing the net and listening to iTunes, is the MB better?
Is it worth the extra money for the MBP, or is the only difference the Graphics Card?
