[QUOTE="JeremyZ, post: 994970, member: 138718"] 1. They have the same screen. 2. Price is $200 more for the Pro. I bought a refurbished pro with the same specs. for the same price as a new Macbook 3. Durability and lifespan should be the same. Maybe a bit longer with the Pro, since it can use the aluminum case as a heatsink. 4. Size and weight are the same; the Pro is maybe a tiny bit slimmer. 5. This is a matter of taste. Do you prefer white plastic or bead blasted aluminum? I went with the Pro mostly because it has a backlit keyboard and firewire jack and the basic Macbook doesn't. Here's the refurbished Macbook page: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro]MacBook Pro - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] A refurbished, new style Macbook is $850, when they're in stock.
