MacBook vs MacBook Pro

Ok I'm thinking of buying a Mac laptop (in before mac sucks, I have a custom desktop PC anyway) but I'm not sure if there is a considerable difference when choosing between the MacBook and the Pro. After customizing my order using the Apple Store, the difference in price between the two is about 1000 dollars. So I is there a considerable difference in terms of performance (I plan to use it for college work/graphic design)? Thank you in advance.

it's a widescreen
So you got only a portion of your screen?

because it's not very tall you don't have to angle it back quite as much for comfortable viewing
Worst excuse ever; yeah, without a car there's no risk for car accidents.

a steeper angle catches less glare
But still catches glare which is avoided or reduced to a minimum with proper coating.

bright as all fuck
Nevermind there's the black color which still catches glare. By making black gray, you're losing all the contrast glossy screens are supposed to give.

17" widescreen
17" widescreen is still crippledscreen. All I ask for is 15" real-screen.
