I'm stuck between the top macbook 2.4GHz
Apple (United Kingdom) - MacBook
and
The baseline macbook pro 2.4Ghz
Apple (United Kingdom) - MacBook Pro
Both 2GB DDR3 ram
Only difference is pro is 15" not 13" and had Hybrid SLI graphics so as well as the on board graphics the macbook has it has a dedicated card for if you need a bit of extra power.
Only £200 difference with educational discount... which isnt an issue. But will 13" be too small?
