About to buy MBP 13 but have some questions


Recommended Posts

I have the new MBP 13 and my gf just sold her 1st gen 15" MBP to buy 13" so he can carry around easier. She wants to buy a refurbished one but came across some weird infos...well atleast to me and her

First off...

I thought unibody was only for MBP? if not what the heck is this? and standard keyboard? no Illuminated keyboard?

Intel Core 2 Duo

2GB Memory

160GB hard drive1

SD card slot

Built-in 7-hour battery2

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics

What's the difference between the unibody Macbook and unibody MBP??

so from the spec view when i just compared. There's no much difference at all. 2.4gz vs 2.26 / same memory/ same HD/ same graphics card/ same battery? since both are lithium-polymer battery / comes with snow leopard/ same back lit 13in LCD gloss finish...

only difference is there's no "MacBook Pro" label to it?

Unibody Macbooks lack the better screen, the longer lasting battery (though it's removable), the SD card slot, the backlit keyboard (the low end model), and the Firewire 800 port.

MBP also has multitouch, which is amazing. :)

So does the non-pro.

the difference is:

All MBP have the "better" screen, only some MB do

MBP has Firewire and SD card reader

MBP gets "7hrs" of battery, but its not removable/user replaceable, MB gets 4.5hrs(thats what I get, not what's advertised I could get 5 if I want to milk it) but the battery us removeable

MBP hand take up to 8GB of RAM, the MB is maxed at 4GB.

Basiclly if your GF need firewire 800, or the SD card slot get the MBP, otherwise the cheaper MB is good enough.

So does the non-pro.

At least in Finland the non-pro MacBook only supports two-finger scrolling in addition to normal one-finger usage, while the Pro has a real multi-touch, supporting up to four-finger usage and other multi-touch features the non-pro does not have.

Even your Aluminum Macbooks?
