Since Apple, just updated <a href=\"http:\/\/apple.com\">both the MacBook and the Macbook Pro<\/a> today, I think it&rsquo;s finally time. But now, the hard part comes up, which do I get: the MacBook or the MacBook Pro?<\/p>\n<!--more-->\n\n<h2 class=\"replaceHeadline\">MacBook<\/h2>\n<p>So here are the specs for the MacBook that I would get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> 13 inch<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong> 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong> 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard Drive<\/strong> 160GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm (or go to 250GB for $100 more)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AppleCare Protection Plan:<\/strong> $249<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $1,548.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"replaceHeadline\">MacBoook Pro<\/h2>\n<p>Now, here are the specs for the MacBook Pro I would get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> 15 inch<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong> 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong> 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard Drive<\/strong> 200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm (or go to 250GB for $50 more)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AppleCare Protection Plan:<\/strong> $349<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $2,348.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"replaceHeadline\">Comparison<\/h2>\n<p>Based on those specs, it seems like the MacBook pro isn&rsquo;t packing that much more. But in addition to all that, it has a better graphics card, backlit keyboard, and a multi-touch trackpad.<\/p>\n\n<p>The backlit keyboard and 15 inch screen are big for me. But is it worth that much more? I&rsquo;m not sure.<\/p>\n\n<p>I wish Apple would update their <a href=\"http:\/\/store.apple.com\/Catalog\/US\/Images\/comparison_chart.html\">laptop comparison chart<\/a>. Hopefully they will get to it today.<\/p>\n\n<p>So what do <strong>YOU<\/strong> think? Which would you get?<\/p>","4":{"website":{}}}}
