[QUOTE="xRACExITSaRALLY, post: 389973, member: 30960"] I am trying to decide between the Macbook and the Macbook Pro. I mainly use my current Powerbook G4 for surfing/downloading/burning/playing videos to my TV. I was wondering if there would be any benefit going to the PRO vs the regular MACBOOK for this kind of useage? Is the extra power in the videocard meant for video-intensive programs? Would this affect the playability of larger/higher quality videos? Is the video card used at all for encoding videos or is that just the regular processors job? Also I was wondering if anyone else has chosen the macbook after owning the Powerbook G4 (1.5 ghz.) and could comment on the difference in processing power? Thnx. ~Leylan EDIT: I also plan on doing a little bit of video editing (mainly cutting longer videos down to combine with others... home video stuff). [/QUOTE]
