One of the questions that are often made by family members interested in buying an Apple laptop is "Should I get a MacBook or MacBook Pro? For most of us, the answer is easy, but others see only numbers and not sure what the benefits of either are. Heck, even some of the most computer savvy users have problems to decide how often your problem might overthink the pros and cons of each model.
Let's look at some of the features and cost, and perhaps make that decision a little easier for those who keep asking the same question. I can not say to buy, but it can definitely try to help you find the one for you.
1) When a MacBook is a better solution - $ 999
The MacBook is priced $ 200 lower than the MacBook Pro, so the budget finally comes into the equation. In general, those with a MacBook need your computer because it wanted an Apple laptop to a more affordable price. For photo manipulation of light or quick editing, even the MacBook iMovie will do the trick. The MacBook also works best for those who just want a nice laptop to surf the Internet regularly. Although there are cheaper, solutions other than Apple if you insist on having a Mac
This is probably also the ideal for college students. It will do very well to help them sort of research reports and online.
2) When a MacBook Pro is a Better Solution - $ 1,199 - $ 2,499
Depending on whom you ask iSmashPhone, the MacBook Pro is a bit on the pricey side. That's fine, we all have our needs and opinions. Our editor uses his 15 inches to make the most of our video work (although lately it is using its IPAD 2), and has not complained yet. This team is probably overkill for most of us, unless you plan on doing a lot of gaming or processor intensive things.
A lot of heavy users of Photoshop that we have found also tend to like working on the Mac for heavy, we mean those who work with large files, high-resolution image with 60 layers or so.
As mentioned previously, also college students, saying that the MacBook is perfect for them. That is true for the most part, but I know that some of the luxury audio and film schools issue students a MacBook Pro
3) Do not forget the MacBook Air - $ 999 - $ 1,599
Because the MacBook Air is there, not be forgotten, either. The author of this message uses an air, and your favorite notebook. Speaking from personal experience with the team, here is why this could be the solution for you: If you travel often, or take your laptop in a bag on his shoulder a lot, this is the team for you. Sometimes we have to go out or even a report on what is happening outside the comfort of a desktop. It's good to have a robust and lightweight laptop for that purpose.
The lack of an optical drive can be a problem for you, but if you go with air, we advise you to pay little more for a hard disk upgrade and go with 11 inches. It's small, but we can not help feeling that has a 13 inch defeats the purpose of a MacBook Air. Of course this is just an honest assessment based on the needs of a person. Yours may be very different.
Concluding remarks
The truth is that you have to find a computer and a system that works for you. Most of us in iSmashPhone only tend to prefer the Mac (although some PC users here.) Do not buy into the hype of anyone. Try things and see what you like. The best team is the one that works for you.
