MacBook Pro has a dedicated graphics card (a 9600GT) on top of the discrete 9400M graphics chipset.
All MacBook Pro models have backlite keyboards and are intended towards professional usage (ei like Photographers or Movie directors.).
Also all MacBook Pros have a Firewire port and an Express Slot for your 3G Internet Connection (if you ever need one)
More questions? Just ask...

Good way to introduce yourself.
Try http://www.apple.com
Straight from the source, and no "crap" like difference in size (which are differentiators).

MacBook Pro has hybrid SLI with 9600m discrete chip (better performance mode) AND 9400m integrated chip (better battery life mode), Firewire 800, Express card slot, MUCH better quality TFT display for photohraphy and video, MacBook Pro starts at 2.4 GHz and 250 GB while MacBook starts at 2.0 GHz and 160 GB, both models have backlit keyboards while only the 2.4 GHz MacBook does.

There's a difference in size between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro also has a larger screen.
Hope this helps,

Wow, you should expect a lot of helpful responses to that question.
How is screen size not a reason?

I don't know why anyone would want to help you with that attitude. How about you take a few seconds and click on apple.com and see the differences for yourself?
It appears you can write, but obviously you can't read or else you would read Apple's website, or any of the billion sites that have copies of the spec sheets.

ooooo I know
One has MacBook printed on the smaller screen, and the other has MacBook Pro printed on the larger screen.
That's the only difference I can think of.
