What's the difference between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro?

I know getting the MacBook Air is stupid. Plus it looks easy to break. What are the pros and cons, or just what do you think about the two? I'm starting to get into design and technological stuff in school, so I assume that I'll have to use a fancy computer. I'm using a PC, but it doesn't start up very fast and it takes forever to load stuff and I'm just fed up with it. I hear the Macs are really fast and don't get viruses too easily, although I guess it depends on the sites you go on. So which one is the better? Other than the fact that MacPro has bigger screens.
