Which macbook should I buy?

I'm a software analyst/developer but I think I won't use mac for my work. I'll use it for other (web, communication, photography post production, etc..)

I think macbook (13" 2Gh RAM, 2.4Ghz processor, ...) should be enough, but I also would like something more professional (maybe a mac pro 15" 2Gh RAM, 2.4Ghz processor GeForce256MB,...)

But ... is it worth to pat 700 dollars for a GeForce256MB, a multi touch pad, and what ????

I'm a software product manager, and I made the same choice about eight months ago (the MacBooks have been updated once since then). I chose the MacBook, and it hasn't given me a single moment of regret. It's powerful enough to run a number of applications (Excel, Word, iTunes, Firefox--even Parallels), all without any noticeable lag in performance. As for plusses on the Pro side, don't forget the back-lit keyboard! ;-)

One (less trivial) difference is that the Pro features larger screens, so there's a question of how you feel about the screen-size-vs.-portability issue.
