[QUOTE="edge, post: 205041"] As always with buying a new computer, there are two major factors to take into concideration: 1. Money 2. Useage As far as the price difference goes, I don't think there's going to be a huge difference. Maybe a few hundred or less (probably less than that). Could be wrong, but since the processors are basically the same type (just a difference of one or two cores), it can't be that huge. Although, I would suspect that iBooks (MacBook) will only be offered in a single core flavor, while MacBook pro will probably be offered as single core, OR dual core. (I haven't looked into it yet -- maybe someone else here can provide more insight?) Lastly -- what are you going to do with it? Browse the internet? Play games? Watch HD movies (as brought up above)? If you're using it for office type productivity, programming, and web surfing, there's really no need for a dual core system. But, if you want to play games, work with video editing software, etc, the higher price tag is well worth the preformance gain. [/QUOTE]
