Should I get a Macbook?

[Kthxbai]

I've got a 2.0 Ghz Macbook with 4gb or RAM, and I use it for pretty much everything you want to do (and then some), and it works just fine.

so i would say you probably dont need a pro. the small screen can however fell a bit cramped, but a cheap lcd screen and as minidsplay-to-vga converter does the trick.

This thread is full of sarcasm.

If portability and price are your primary considerations, get a macbook. Personally, I think the 9400 nvidia chip on the new/old white macbook along with firewire and increased wifi range make it an attractive option.

If the screen of the machine is more important than the other two, save up your pennies for a MBP.

If portability and price are REALLY important to you, get a MSI Wind or Lenovo S10 ideapad and do a hackintosh on it. <ducks head behind sandbags>

Guys, I'm a teen without a job so I was wondering, should I save up for a year and get the Macbook or Save up for two years and get a 15" MBP

Things I Do:
iWork
Some playing around in Photoshop CS4
A lot of heavy web usage
iChat w/ iSight
iMovie
Maybe a game or two

I got my first iBook when i was 11... Now i have 2 MacBooks, an iMac, ended up with a old school 90's MacPro... Just make sure they you won't want everything mac that came out... But its worth it mac's are awesome.

The Mac Pro came out in 2006.

Someone call the captain! The sarcasm is off the radar!

To be serious im 15, and choosing to save up to buy a MBP, even though I would suffice with a MB perfectly. The reason I am choosing to invest in a more expensive, more powerful model is that I plan to use my laptop for the next 2 years of schooling, and then hopefully Uni.

Think about saving and spending more money if you plan to use a machine for longer, with more CPU power to compete with future machines.
