Even when they had identical processors (late 2010) I just couldn't justify the Macbook to myself given the differences in features for $200. Finally I decided to change over to the Macbook Pro. I went back and forth about what to do, and compared the Macbook and the MBP over and over (this was in November 2010). I liked it, BUT they had taken away several features that I liked from my older Macbook, namely: After it had numerous logic board and other failures, Apple replaced it and gave me a unibody plastic Macbook. My last computer was a non-unibody plastic Macbook. I've always owned and preferred plastic Mac notebooks.

Here is my opinion, with a bit of background so you know where I am coming from:

I don't understand the "build quality" comment either.
