[QUOTE="hexonxonx, post: 687785, member: 33873"] I have both a MBP and a MB. There are times when I prefer to use the MB because of it's glossy screen. My main uses for my computers are internet and watching videos. For videos, I prefer to use my MBP or MB because the screen quality for doing this is much better than on my iMac or Mac Pro. The MBP has a very clear screen and it's colors are pretty accurate because of it's lighting and real video card. It is very much comparable to my Apple Cinema Display. On the MB, the colors also stand out but they are not as bright most likely due to the fact that the MBs display is not as bright as the MBP. The glossy display on the MB does help make images look nice and bright but still pale when viewed side by side with the MB. I bring this up often because it seems to be the biggest difference between the two notebooks. Battery life is about the same and my MB does tend to run cooler. I tend to get about about 3.5 hours of battery life on both and I think that's about average. Ratings listed on the Apple site are under conditions most people probably won't use. Other than the color display differences, they are both capable of running many of the same apps and it will mostly be a preference thing when purchasing. [/QUOTE]
