Sick of Vista, opting for a Mac. MB or MBP?

[Bing]

I'm part of this website called Lockerz, just log on get points which you can redeem for prizes (iPod's, Macbook's, Xbox's etc.) and I have finally mustered enough points for a Macbook 13-inch Unibody.

So I could redeem these points for this Macbook, or I could save up some more points and get a Macbook Pro instead.

What should I do, bear in mind this will be my first Mac so I don't need anything too fancy?

FYI before people start going on about Lockerz it's a totally genuine site, I've already recieved a 8GB iPod Touch from it.

the new unibody macbook is pretty good. 2GB of ram is enough for most regular situations, and its core 2 duo processor is not that far behind the MBP's.

Looking at the specs, they don't really seem all that different either. And the MBP is significantly more expensive, and it doesn't really seem justified.

The screen quality is noticeably a lot better on the MBP. You also get Firewire, SD card slot, and back lit keyboard.

While I will have some use with an SD slot, firewire I won't ever use. Apart from that, I higher quality screen and a light-up keyboard still do not justify such a difference in price in my opinion.

You are entitled to your opinion. I never stated that having those four things over a MB was worth the 300 dollars. I'm just putting it out there, so that you can decide for yourself.

If you don't have any use for Firewire, better screen quality and back lit keyboard then by all means get what you think is the better value.
