GO FOR THE PRO! Seriously don't waste your time on the other one. I do a lot of photoshop and design and you will need the pro to keep up---but, in the end...........I'm back on my hp! Decided I loved it better and can run faster and better on it. Oh well---guess I'm the odd dog--that went back!

I don't feel you will be wasting your time on either one. HOWEVER, my macbook is an aluminum one and apparently they don't offer that now in the non-pro. My kids have school-issued white ones and I don't care for the feel of them as much as mine. I am also not a college student and so mine is quite efficient for me. If I were you, being a college student, I would hang on until you can get the pro. I say that because your gonna have it a long time. I know it's hard to wait. I waited ions for my iphone but I finally have it and it was sooooooooooo worth the wait!!!

Be Strong!

Good choice, I know you won't be sorry. Once you get your hands on each of them, the quality difference even in the "feel" is so worth going Pro. Ahh and think of the status aspect, more people are going to be so jealous over the Pro

You won't regret it for the small price difference. I just got the Pro about a month ago and I'm glad I did. At first I was going to get the MacBook but after weighing the differences went for the Pro instead. The Apple salesperson can explain the upgrades in the Pro and once they do it will confirm your choice. Just a few are an upgraded screen, SD card slot, lit keyboard not to mention I prefer the aluminum and the black keys. It is so much easier to keep clean than the white.

my aluminum macbook as the lighted keyboard---that is a definite good thing! Love it!

I've nevr owned a Mac but I want one. I got a taste of their products because I have the Iphone and I absolutely love it!

question for Mac users: what do you think about the MacAir? that thing is so irresistible I want one!

I love my mac

To tell you the truth macs are the only computer you will ever see in our house. We even have the mac tv. LOL! Ok, my hubby is a Senior Macintosh Systems Administator (fancy wording for mac addict) which basically means we are biased.

But, even the school district I work for uses macs so I can't be that biased. I don't go a day without using sometype of mac product in my life. Between the iphone, imac and ipods. You can just say I'm isane. LOL!

I got an iPhone a couple of months ago.

Friday, I got the iMac with the 24" display. It's awesome.

I've weaned myself off the PC. No going back.
