What additional features does the Macbook Pro have from the regular Macbook?

Question

I'm trying to justify the $900 difference in their starting prices. Obviously, screen size is one, but does the Pro have a better processor or maybe more software included?

Answer 1

Here are the specs of each base model.

MacBook- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz Macbook Pro- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz

Macbook -120GB 5400-rpm HDD Macbook Pro- 200GB 5400 RPM HDD

Features-

The macbook pro has a backlit keyboard which the macbook does not have.

The Macbook has a chiclet keyboard design which the Macybook pro does not have.

The macbook pro has an express card slot, also 1 firewire 400 and 1 firewire 800.

In the end i would just get a Macbook since it is alot cheaper.

Answer 2

The software that is included with both is exactly the same.

The processor and RAM is higher on the pro, along with graphics cards etc.

Unless you actually doing something such as photography or video editing or similar then you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference between the pro and macbook.
