What is better about the Mac book Pro compared to the Mac book?

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.

Why is it important to buy a power supply that's close to the requirements for your system instead of buying a higher wattage power supply?

It's not. A higher than needed power supply will not harm your computer in any way. It will simply cost slightly more and draw more power. As they are more expensive, higher-watt power supplies will often have better warranties. A higher wattage will also facilitate future expansion more easily, instead of you needing to purchase a larger one later anyway.

If one person purchases a software program it is legal for other people to borrow the software and install it even though there is a warning against it on the package?

Of course not. It is a violation of copyright laws. Those making copies are stealing the software from the author.
It is very possible to do so in many cases, but it is still illegal and subject to prosecution.

The incidence of multiple users for a single computer product led to programs that required the original media to be present to run the program, or more recently to the online registration programs required before a program can operate. Because of the costs involved, there have been few prosecutions for individual program violations.
