probook or macbook indeed?
this is the kinda thing im looking into to as well.
unfortunately i aint all that clued up on the actual insides of the macs as far as what all the specs mean, so i'm at a bit of a loss when trying to figure out exactly what i need.
trouble is im thinking of getting one so i can work from home, with remote access to work and need to pitch the right one to buy to the boss...and as you all know in their eyes, cheaper is better!
thing is i need it for graphics packages likes of quark xpress, illustrator, pshop - all of which use hi res images etc for print. Generally most files for print are gona be pretty big. There is also the need to have multiple packages open at once, for instance jumping in and out of pshop and illustrator and back into quark (making sense?!)
with this type of software there is also the issue of prefering the larger screen, due to multiple palletes being in the way of the artboard, but im not sure the pro book justifys this extra cost just for the bigger screen if you can dual monitor and if the power book can handle the rest without grinding to a hault?
there is also a need for it to handle web software like flash dreamweaver etc.
Any of you guys out there got mac laptops for this kinda purpose?? and if so whats the advice on which way to jump, obviously pro book is better if it is affordable as the spec is higher, but telling a boss you need that if maybe you dont is another thing! I dont have a preference either way, just want the right one for the job dont want to buy a mac book to have it on its knees in days!
cheers
