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.

What the fuck. Go run your operating system on an abacus or some shit. DID YOU KNOW ALL GENERAL PURPOSE CPUS TODAY ARE BASED ON PROPRIETARY IDEAS, A COMPLEX ARRAY OF PATENTS AND CLOSED SOURCE LOW-LEVEL SOFTWARE AND COMPILERS ETC? If the Illuminati wanted to take the world over with our computers, they already could. Let the fucking TPM thing go.

You're the same type of regressive idiot that would have been all "I WILL NEVER SWITCH FROM DOS TO BLOATED WIN95 SHIT!!" ten years ago. Apple are leading the way in widescreen monitors and you'll notice pretty much all PC manufacturers are making the same transition. Widescreen is more natural for way the human eyes work (go look up the fundamentals of cinematography) and it works especially well in MacOS, where the paradigm of stacked windows is adhered to better than on Windows and any Linux-which-tries-to-be-windows. Get with the future, shitbag, anyone who uses widescreen prefers it.
