Ok,



My girlfriend is going nuts to get a new computer. I keep telling her to wait until June for Leopard, but there is just no convincing her. She wants it now.



My question is: Should she get a Macbook or a Macbook Pro? She is only going to use it for web browsing, music, chat, and eBay for the most part. She is basically looking for the best bang for her buck.



I know she should wait, but she says no way, she wants it now.

    I'd go with a refurbed Macbook C2D. The kinks are worked out, and it should last through quite a few iterations of Leopard.

    If that's all she's using it for, then the only advantage the MacBook Pro will have for her is the larger screen (15.4" vs. 13.3" of the MacBook).



    I would also recommend the latest generation (Core 2 Duo) MacBook.
