The big difference between a MacBook and a MacBook Pro? In my opinion, and the one thing PC users will be quick to point out: the a ence of a dedicated video card. The video cards on the MacBook Pros are fantastic, and bring a lot to the table when doing graphically inte ive tricks like 3d animation or, say, games. I priced a MacBook Pro to my liking about a week ago, 120 GB drive, 1 GB of RAM, 2 GHz duo. Gue what? A similarly configured MacBook is a lot cheaper, but keep in mind the graphics compromise you're going to make. The proof will be when someone ru World of Warcraft on their MacBook... One thing I'm glad they added back in though: audio i ut, and they added digital I/O!
