I'm familiar with all the specs of each, just can't decide which one to get! I found the new Macbook for essentially $800 at Microcenter ($999 plus $200 VISA gift card via rebate) so I'm leaning toward that. My needs are pretty basic--playing music, organizing and editing my photos (I have a gazillion) and a new project I want to start--converting my old VHS home movies to DVD. I'm thinking the MB will be fine for me--I was going to upgrade from 2GB to 4GB RAM though, since I'll be doing all the movie stuff. Or is that not even necessary? Is the body on the MBP that much better? Seems to me it's $200 more for less hard drive (160 instead of 250), the aluminum body, an SD card slot, a backlit keyboard, and a firewire port. I'm fine with spending more money if it will truly make a difference for me, but I'm just not well-versed enough in things like RAM, processing speed, etc. and how the differences in amounts and speed will really translate into day-to-day use. I've never had a Macbook before, and am very excited to get one! We use iMacs at work and I've completely fallen in love with Macs Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!
