The newer MacBook and MacBook Pro models have some distinct differences. The MacBook is a white plastic shell with a smaller screen. All MacBook Pro models are now made of a solid, unibody enclosure.

Some advantages/disadvantages:

*The MacBook tends to get very hot after about an hour of use. The MacBook Pro models do not have this problem.

*The MacBook Pro models have a better screen for displaying graphics, and have a higher powered graphics chip.

*The MacBook Pro 13" and 15" models include a SD Card slot. The MacBook and MacBook Pro 17" models do not.

*The MacBook has a removable battery. All batteries on the MacBook Pro models can not be removed.

*The MacBook only comes with a 2.13GHz processor. The standard configuration of the lowest costing MacBook Pro has a 2.23GHz processor.

*All MacBook Pro batteries can have a charge for up to 7 hours (excluding the MacBook Pro 17", which can have an 8 hour charge). The battery on the MacBook can have just a 5 hour charge.

The MacBook Pro family has some obvious advantages. If you're looking for a lower-costing computer that can run Mac OSX, the MacBook would be your best choice. If you need something reliable that can do any task, go for it and upgrade to a MacBook Pro.
