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?

From what I understand (as told to me by someone who knows a LOT about Macs, works in an Apple Store and is an active part of the Mac developers community), the graphics card can absorb anything up to 300Mb of system RAM if a task demands it. FWIW, this is his only main objection to the MacBook - other than that, he recommends it if you don't need the dedicated graphics card.
