Now then...
I've decided I want a 13" macbook...
dunno whether to go for the macbook or pro!?
i prefer the look of the macbook as its white and the spec isnt that much better on the PRO for what seems like quite a few quid extra...
any ideas? |

| If you don't know wether you want a MBP then you prob don't want one. Get the macbook. Wouldn't bother buying RAM from apple - it's expensive. Just buy some from the net and install it yourself. |

Don't buy a Macbook pro yet, they are getting mobile Core i5 CPUs later this year, (No i7 though it seems..)so is worth the wait, apple looks like it's actually going to be bringing out a powerful laptop for once
If you're doing a lot of editing / video editing / creation, you wouldn't wanna use a Macbook for it IMHO
The plastic unibody basic Macbook looks nice for pottering around the internet / MSN etc though, was considering getting one (but went on bash instead =p) |

A pro is overkill unless you're using pro graphics applications. Only downside of a MacBook is they don't have FireWire ports anymore.
Oh and installing your own ram invalidates the guarantee and the AppleCare. If you open the case up yourself then they won't cover you for anything. Hardly worth it just to save a few quid |

| Can't believe manufacturers are still making outdated Firewire/USB 2.0 ports, eSATA is the futureee! |
