So what's the difference between #define and a variable apart from #define has no type and can't be changed? Or is that it?

I think the question I would ask is what they have in common. I'm pretty sure the answer is "nothing".
True, They have almost nothing in common. #define is a pre-preprocessor directive which simply does textual substitution. Whereas variables have a value and an address. The list is endless really..
Spidey out!
Nothing.
A variable is a chunk of memory that you can read and write.
A define is simply a text-replacement tool that replaces all instances of x with y.
