With the new macbooks out and the price increase in the uk the prices stand like this... (for me with discount)

New macbook - £689
13" Macbook Pro - £779

they both have the same tech specs, but the new macbook has a 250GB HD instead of 160GB of the pro...


is the pro worth the extra money?
the SD slot will be useful to me but i have a usb one anyway so not that useful...

is the screen and speakers better on the pro? obviously the backlit keyboard is really good and its thinner...


if i get the pro i can afford it, its just £100 less i have for xmas presents (i can skimp ;D ;D )


thanks
 
If you need FW800 and the backlit keyboard, go for the Pro. The screen is still a little better on the Pro I believe, but the gap isn't as wide as it was before.
 
I am not sure the screen is better on the Pro, Side by side I have to say the new MB is much better and cleaner.
