[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 968689, member: 61193"] This might sound a dumb question (indeed it probably is), but........ .......what is the real difference between the Macbook and the Macbook Pro? I know the latter has larger versions, but the smallest MBP seems to be £100 more expensive than the MB, with a similar spec. Edit - the only advantage I can see is the white of the MB looks a little odd. The aluminium finish looks much better - but an extra £100 on a machine which is already very expensive? ---------- A little more controversial perhaps: Second question - I have an iMac (20") and I love it. I also have a PC with Win7 and a 22" monitor, plus an ASUS laptop (15" with Win7) and a small netbook (about 10" I think - with XP). Is it worth getting the 13" MB or MBP (see first question), or should I remortgage the house to afford a larger MBP, or stick with the iMac and use a Windows machine when I need portability? I love the iMac, even if it did cost about 50% more than the Windows7 machine - but the Mac laptops seem to cost around two to three times that of a Windows laptop. Are they really that much better?
