Macbook vs. Macbook Pro.
They have practically the same exact specs.
I am a designer that no longer has much faith in Apple as a company but I hate windows. So a new apple laptop I shall buy.
Which one should I get? I can't tell the difference anymore.

Gotta get into the higher end 15" MBP to get the good video card.

the pro allows you to hook up a second monitor, and expand the ram out more, i think

u do any video work? firewire would be a reason to go pro

The biggest challenge I put on a computer is working qith 1gb photoshop files.
I use Illustrator and Indesign as well. That is about it really.
So just the Macbooks you cannot have an external monitor?
I plan on having external key/mouse/and monitor, that may be the deciding factor.

They both have "mini display ports" - I assumed these were for external monitors - am I wrong?
- nopePupsipu
- Every mac has a monitor port, ie. the one I'm writing this on is closed and sitting behind the monitorraf

WHYYYY!!!!!
I want matte and I want an external monitor.
I used to like this company

My IT department just sent me a glossy screened one today after I asked for the matte. They think I am being a jerk for insisting upon the matte and think I am lying when I say the glossy is inappropriate for graphics work. Amazing.

Say goodbye to true blacks and true whites. Say hello to a permanent on screen gradient and seeing your face instead of your work.
- ture. LOL
the reflection is terrible on the glossy ones.clearThoughts

do you really need a laptop. if not. pick the new imac instead.

Unfortunately I really do. I record music quite a bit - and mobility becomes extraordinarily important. I don't even like laptops. Batteries are shit. Too fragile. Too easy to steal. But there is no way in hell I would get an imac with a glossy screen. Shit is terrible.

I've been thinking about getting a new laptop as well but wondering if making a hackintosh is a feasible option?

I have a normal macbook and this thing sucks. It's only 1.5 years old but the A key stops working regularly, the disc drive wont accept discs at all anymore, and I cant get a web browser to work properly on it where it doesnt crash on me, no idea why. Worst laptop ive ever owned. Ive got an 8 year old dell thats better than this in every way.
- Your last sentence is absolute bullshit, and you know it. Also, stop jizzing in on your keyboard. :Dmonospaced
- that's probably the only dell on the planet that works well, you are sitting on millions of dollars, put that shit on ebay son!Meeklo
- i've overclocked 3 dells in my life all there are still running strong.version3
- sold a dt to my bro he still uses, gave my gf my old lap and just bought a new oneversion3
- once i put a solid state drive in it, i might just jizz on monospaced's keyboardversion3
- Dells are the worst of the worst. So many driver issues and just crap craftsmanship. 8 year old Dell would be from 2001 and slow piece of junk.fuckinglol_prophet

A 13" MBP is $200 more to get a FW port and an SD slot (smaller HD though). All the Apple laptops have a display port.
