I've been a member of enough forums to know that there are a plethora of newbies out there (in this case myself included) who ask dumb questions about which model of whatever product they should buy. So, let me go ahead and apologize in advance for my ignorance.
In any case, I'm in the market for a notebook. AND I'm looking to make the switch to mac. I know that I don't like the newest generation of notebooks, they just aren't me. So, I've been researching the black macbook and the macbook pro from the previous generation. I like, aesthetically, the black mac book and THINK it may be a good fit for me. However, I read the the video card is sodered onto the mother board (i think) and that it wasn't the best that mac offered. I'm planning on doing a lot of photo editing and music editing. and a mild amount of video editing. Outside of these media editing tasks, I do A LOT of multitasking and need quite and bit of RAM and a quick processor.
I've almost convinced myself that I'd be better off just going with the MBP over the black MB. Is there REALLY that big of a difference? and if the RAM ad hardrrive as easy to upgrade and areplace in the MBP as in the MB black?
Again, sorry for what I'm sure comes off as a stupid Newbie question, but I want to make sure I get the notebook that is right for me. And I want to make my switch to Mac as enjoyable and fruitful as possible.
Thank a lot guys,
Ben
