if it starts with "i" it's consumer ... iBook, iMac (except for e which is also consumer -- eMac). Also the color gives it away... if it's white its a consumer machine (at least right now anyway).
If it starts with "Power" its pro .. PowerBook, PowerMac. They are also metal looking materials in the current lineup.
It used to be really bad back in the Spindler days ... when everything was just a model number! hehe. You had to consult a pro to tell anything about them at that point in the game, that and the fact at one point they had 20+ different models on sale all with seemingly random (not that random once you got to know their schemes but nonetheless scattered) model numbers.
For what its worth: I do all my development on my ibook. 800Mhz G3. I love it. Years of work. dawn to dusk. great machine! No problems. Ever.
