[QUOTE="jrko, post: 533789, member: 42015"] I am looking to buy a Mac laptop but need some help in deciding which way to go. I will be using it almost entirely for my photography OCD;D My problem is the choice. I could get, including applecare: Macbook 2.2 + 4Gb (shop bought not apple) & external apple 23" screen (and calibrate it) = £1845 or Macbook pro 15" 2.2 + 2Gb & external apple 23" screen (and calibrate it) = £2192 or Macbook pro 17" hi res 2.4 + 2Gb = £2138 The questions are...How good will the Macbook be using the 23" screen with PS and Lightroom? Can I calibrate the 23" and use it with the macbook? Will there be a noticeable difference between the 15 & the macbook in using the 23" screen because of the graphics card? Can I calibrate the 17" hi res properly and not have the hassle of a 23" monitor in my 1 bed apartment?:Confused: (darn it! - can a mod move the thread to the portables section? sorry) [/QUOTE]
