You need to decide which would be best. Only you know what the machine will be used for and how much you can spend. As for specifications, go to the Apple site and enter the store. All the info you need is there.

The MBP has two - a shared card and a dedicated one with either 256Mb or 512MB depending on which model you get. The only other difference is that the MBP has a firewire 800 port, a bigger screen and a *slighly* longer battery life.

it would all depend on what you needed it to have, do you want this to be just a laptop, or a desktop replacement laptop?

So for the most part that means you don't need a decicated video card, so that narrows it down a little bit. Just take a look at the specs on the laptops and the software you would be running on it.

I change from my PC to a MacBook Pro.... I think if I had bought a MacBook it would be like my PC with the only difference that I can bring it with me.

The MacBook Pro is pretty better than my old PC (+ memory ram and that stuffs) so if money is not the problem I would buy a MacBookPro...
