BlueFiberOptics Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 There were 13 inch "Macbook" units until Apple decided to start calling them "Macbook Pro" models too, which annoys me personally. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueFiberOptics Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The new "Macbook Pro" 13 inch units have a SD card slot where as the previously labeled unibody Macbook units did not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojumk Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 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?

giga Veteran Posted October 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2009 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.

BlueFiberOptics Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Ever since I got my own Macbook Pro, I guess I have dozed off on the differences. Thanks, Giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhalamar Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 MBP also has multitouch, which is amazing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltecXP Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhalamar Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 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.
