[QUOTE="bepickle, post: 357464, member: 29056"] I'm considering switching to a Mac. I use my computer mostly for Web development (Ruby on Rails, PHP, Dreamweaver, Photoshop). I have a $1400 spending limit at CircuitCity, so the best mac I can get is the following: Apple® 2.0GHz MacBook (MA700LL/A) APL MA700LLA • 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo • Burn DVDs and CDs • 13.3-inch widescreen • Apple Remote • 1GB of DDR2 memory • Built-in iSight camera From your experience, what are the limits with this mac? Like I said, I will mostly be doing developing and maybe a little photo/video editing for fun. Nothing serious as in making an awesome movie or anything will be done. More specifically,... does anyone have the 13.3-inch widescreen? I'm wondering if that is large enough? I will be using this notebook as my primary computer. Maybe I should go check it out at the circuit city store myself. It seems like the 1 GB RAM will be sufficient for me (right?), considering I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1100 w/256 MB RAM right now. I can get a Vista notebook for a little cheaper, with more RAM and a wider screen, but should I? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
