[QUOTE="nicolesmithweb, post: 1256791, member: 205685"] I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15R notebook with an Intel Core i5 processor, 640 GB hard drive, and 6 GB RAM. I'm a web developer, so I mainly browse the Internet, write code, use FTP, and Photoshop and Fireworks. I would definitely like to get a MacBook whether it be original, Air, or Pro that has an Intel Core i5 or i7, I don't use a lot of hard drive space as I put most of my files on my flash drive, but I at least want 4 if not 8 GB of RAM. My main concern is choosing the 13" or 15". I like the idea of the 13" being more portable due to size and weight. My current laptop is actually 15.6" and I can admit it can be a bit too big. I don't take it with me to work everyday. I take my 10.1" Ubuntu netbook instead, but that's WAY too small, so that's why I'm not evening considering an 11" MacBook Air. Also, I understand the 15" MBP has a dedicated graphics card as compared to the 13". Is this something I really need to worry about for Photoshop and Fireworks? [/QUOTE]
