[QUOTE="buddyglass, post: 770570, member: 75953"] Honestly, the answer probably depends on the particular MacBook model you're using now and the model Mackbook Pro they'd buy you. From what I've seen of the specs, at least with regard to the previous generation, the main advantages of the Pro are: * Bigger screen. * Discrete graphics. * Firewire 800. * 7200 RPM HDD option. * Higher CPU "ceiling". I've never thought they were worth the price premium. The 7200rpm HDD thing is big, but you can do that upgrade yourself. A bigger screen ~can~ be nice, but if you consider smaller size to be an advantage then its sort of a wash. [/QUOTE]
