Macbook Regular or Pro???

Jun 21, 2009 16:46

So I've used a Pro for the past 3 years (on loan from company), and now it's time for me to buy a laptop for college. I'm buying from Princeton b/c they have better deals. I think I'm gonna get a Mac (v. PC), but am so conflicted whether to splurge the extra $1000 for a Pro!

I'm feeling that a 13" screen for the regular Macbook may be a little small, and for someone with as much music/video/editing/downloading as me, mayhaps the extra processing/memory/hard drive might be worth it. I haven't used a regular Macbook before so idk, but...thoughts????

I have the money, with the $2000 I've won from Intel, but again that can go toward other uses.
