macbook vs pro... And java programing on a mac

dr_funkenstein · 2009-08-24 21:09:30

hey Just looking for a bit of advice. Thinking of getting a 13" macbook. Is the pro version worth the extra €200? The specs look pretty similar. Won't be doing intensive multimedia, but will be programming and modelling (mathematical). Also, anyone got any opinions of programming on a mac? Only ever programmed in windows…

Possibly the discrete graphics accelerator might be a good idea. The unibody design is newer and more durable too. (I've an old-style 17" MBP that's still going strong for big numerical simulations).
