I am buying an Apple Laptop for college but should I get a MacBook or MacBook Pro?

Question

I want to buy a laptop and I know I want it from Apple but I am just confused on which one to buy? I know that the MacBook Pro is more expensive but it catches my eye most. The regular MacBook is good but what are the diffrences from both of these? Which one should I buy?

Answer 1

???? why apple?
do you edit video? do you do 3d rendering,
on large scales?
apples not worth it to me if your not doing these.
you'll spend 4 times as much money
for a computer that does the same as a PC

my friend just bought a pro, and the screen died after 3 weeks.
cost 600$ to replace the screen.

It depends what you are using it for. If you are into video/audio production, graphic arts, or even website production, then the MacBokk Pro, would be more ideal. The MacBook is a damn fine machine, but it lacks a separate GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) It uses 64 Mb of the System RAM, so the graphics are still great, but not ideal for graphic arts or video production. The MacBook is still great if all you use it for is typing up reports and projects, etc. I would suggest the MacBook Pro for its 128 or 256 Mb Graphics and faster processor speed. Also the MacBook Pro has larger screen and they are HD.

At a glance specs on the MacBookPro:

* 15.4-inch display

* 5.4 pounds
* 8x double-layer-burning SuperDrive

* Gigabit Ethernet
* NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
* Built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n
* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
* Illuminated keyboard
* Scrolling trackpad
* MagSafe Power Adapter

vs. MacBook:


* 13.3-inch glossy display
* 2.0GHz or 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* Up to 2GB memory
* Up to 200GB hard drive
* Apple Remote with Front Row
* Built-in iSight camera
* Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
* Slot-loading optical drive
* Built-in AirPort Extreme
* FireWire 400 and two USB 2.0 ports

I just bought a MacBookPro and it's fast, reliable and lightweight, and when I was in the store it seemed just a little bit sexier than the MacBook.

For college, you should get a Macbook Pro instead of a Macbook.
