There are several differences between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.  Rather than going into detail, I'll give you the long and short of it.  It's mainly about Image and a little about performance.  MacBooks have a  plastic case rather than metal, smaller screen, no elegent grill with "hidden" speakers, no backlit keyboard, no ambient light sensor, a mini-DVI port instead of a standard sized.  Most of these things are trivial to to the average person, but someone in a business environment, a MacBook would look more like a toy than the professional-looking MacBook Pro.  That's how Apple has designed and promoted these two machines.  Remember, "Form follows Function."\n\nAs far as the guts go, the Pro can be configured for more power (up to 2.16 GHz currently), a faster hard drive(7200), a Firewire 800 on the 17", and they have larger displays with more pixels.  The graphics cards are different, too.  The MacBook's video card shares it's memory with System memory.  I'm not exactly sure the pros and cons, but if you were working with RAM extensive programs, or an avid gamer, this may be a problem.\n\nBasically, you haev to decide what your intentions are and where you're going to be using the machine.\n\nAs far as internet connection goes, both computers have wireless internet (Airport/Wi-fi).  They also both have Bluetooth if that's your thing.  The USB modem is available for around $50, or you can use the Airport Extreame to connect with your dial-up wirelessly.

My answer would be simple if it was a PC..  I would love to learn more about MAC's and how to use them.\n\nSad for a guy who programs for a living.    I have ONLY had to deal with PC type machines.  Well, besides main and mini frames back long ago.

go with a pc.. much more common which makes them much more versitile.. You will find more products (software, hardware, ect.) for a PC then you will for a Mac..

Since your Mac is a Powerbook G4, it is probably using the PowerPC G4 and not the Intel Chips. The G4 and Power indicates that your notebook does not have the Intel chips.

Get the best Mac you can for your budget.  The MacBook should be sufficient for what you need.\n\nBut if you think the Mac is less vulnerable to spyware or viruses its just a matter of time.  If you carelessly surf and don't protect your machine, then the same thing will happen.  Windows is more vulnerable because it has such a larger audience for users and potential damage than Mac.  But there were major virus outbreaks a couple of weeks ago aimed at the Mac as well.

Yes.  I used to be a PC user until I saw the light.  The great thing about Macs is that everything just works.  It's easy to use and I don't have to worry about viruses (Not as much as I would using a PC anyway).

I bought my MacBook Pro just a few months ago, and the price has already dropped, and the clock speed has increased.  It's just something to be expected. However, I have respect for Apple not dropping their prices on all their PowerPC computers.  This holds the value on the resale market that PCs only wish they could have! :)\n\nnote:\nwindows is not "pre-installed".  After downloading the free Beta called Boot Camp, you must supply your own copy of Windows, which is like $100 or something.

I'm a mac user of 15 years and the keyboard on laptops are all different. You have to have the right skin.  Most of the Macbook Pros have the same size keyboards but alot of the smaller inch screens have different size ones as well.  If you have external keyboards most skins are one size fits all.

There are currently two MacBook Pro models,\n\nthe 15" MacBook Pro\nand the 17" MacBook Pro which was announced in April 2006\n\nThe "Mac Pro" is believed to be the name used for the new Intel powered desktop computer from Apple that will replace the PowerMac G5, that has yet to be announced.

MAC is a more unique kind of computer.  It tries to be different and looks as if they don´t have a strong competitor offering what they offer.  But you are right!  They are not too different from all the other PCs!  MAC stablished itself as a very good option for graphic designers, artists and architects, becuase in the past, MAC computers gave the best overall performance for those needs.  Right now, there are PCs of many brnads that offer the same.  I wouldn´t buy a MAC.

I don't have the MacBook, but I have the PowerBook that I purchased last summer and I love it.  It is absolutely ready to go out of the box.  The battery life is not great, depending on what you are doing I would say 3-4 hours.\nIf you are just going to be doing standard stuff, i.e. word processing, iPhoto, surf the web, iTunes etc.  then 1.83 GHZ should be fine.  If   you are using more sophisticated graphic arts or music editing software you might want the 2.0,  The difference is the speed of the processor.\nGood luck, hope you enjoy it!\nYahoo is Mac compatible BTW

Well the biggest change will be to your bank account, the cheapest MacBook Pro is $1999.  If you are looking for video type stuff, the Mac is better, however if you like gaming, you will probably be a little disappointed.  Honestly, the biggest thing against the MacBook Pro is you simply are not getting your money's worth as far as hardware for the price, but if you liked the Mac when you used it, and you have the money to spend, you will probably not be disappointed.
