<p>A white 13-inch MacBook for $949.00 or a 13-inch MacBook Pro for $1,099.00? </p>
<p>I'm trying to decide between the two.</p>
<p>What you get for the additional $150…</p>
<p>-Updated screen
-Unibody aluminum case
-Firewire 800
-SD slot
-Backlit keyboard
-DDR3 RAM
-Upgraded [non-removable] battery with much longer life (both per charge, and number of cycles)
-.13ghz faster processor
-Capability of handling 8gb of RAM</p>
<p>Edit - In before the Mac v. PC debate begins!</p>
<p>Also, you can get a rebate for a free I touch or I pod and $100 towards a printer. we bought the Mac Book pro, with the I touch which we are selling for $195, and the $99 printer for free.</p>
<p>I’d go with the Pro. $150 for much better features!</p>
<p>The Macbook Pro.</p>
<p>Better feature set and the unibody design is more durable, imo. The white Macbook cases are prone to tiny hairline cracks at the palmrest.</p>
<p>Re #5</p>
<p>As far as I know, the new polycarbonate MacBooks do not suffer from hairline cracks.</p>
<p>Supplies are limited, but if you don’t mind a refurbished label, you can get the previous-generation 13.3" unibody MacBook for $949. It has the same warranty as a new 13.3" MacBook Pro. According to one of my friends who bought a uMB before the WWDC announcement, there’s no noticeable difference in speed between the two.</p>
<p>You probably won’t need the slightly faster specs, but it may be worth the money if the Pro has a nicer screen, better construction, or nicer keyboard. </p>
<p>And there’s the cosmetic factor: personally I think the two-tone color scheme on the Pro is ugly.</p>
