what is the difference between the macbooks and the macbook pro's?

except for screen resolution, design, and cosmetic features, an equally equiped MacBook costs less than MacBook Pro of the same system features such as hard drive, RAM, processor speed, and FSB speed.

so what is the extra 1,000 dollars for the MacBook Pro for? an extra two inches of screen?


im confused. and im wanting to get a macbook (the cool black one) but i feel like im mising something cause i can get a 2.0ghz intel core duo with 80gig HD and 1gig of ram with the same 667mhz FSB in a MacBook for almost 1000 dollars less than an equally equiped MacBook Pro.

anyone? huh.gif

Dedicated graphics card means two things:
  • high resolution for the built-in LCD (i.e. more stuff can fit on the screen)
  • the ability to have two displays with separate pictures (extended desktop)
The MacBook can draw to another display as well, but it will only mirror it's built-in LCD image, not have an extended desktop. So that ability of the MacBook Pro is rather handy if you ever set up a desk with a big LCD & keyboard & mouse. Oh, and if you spring for the 17" MBP, you get another USB port & a Firewire 800 port (sweet!)

the MacBook actually supports "extended desktop". it is not disabled like the iBooks were.
