Both, of course. They're Macs, they're made for designers.

The Macbook is a 13 inch screen, while the Pro has 15 inches or 17 inches. That's the only main difference. The Macbook pro comes with bigger standard harddrive, but if you order from apple online you can choose how big the harddrive will be (bigger harddrive costs more, though)

So it really is no difference. The only thing is, wichever you choose, buy extra ram. I have 4GB on my Pro whereas my fiancè has 2GB on his Macbook. So his is slower when running low of CS3 programs at the same time, but that's because I've got twice the RAM.

So in reality, it comes down to the screensize you want. Because you can upgrade a Macbook so that it's just as powerful as the Pro. And the difference really isn't that big anyways, as long as you get extra ram.
