[QUOTE="Corbab, post: 934363, member: 126609"] All depends on what you're willing to spend. From what I've heard, the newly released Macbooks have fairly similar specs to the Macbook Pros. I don't know how involved you'll be getting with vlogging and podcasting, but Macbooks usually have enough power to handle that, especially with the upgraded specs. The Macbook doesn't have a Firewire port however, if that affects anything. I used CS3 (albeit very lightly) with success and I know people who've run Sims on it with no trouble. The iSight is alright (480 MB/s), but it's a bit fuzzy in my experience. The higher-end Pro has a faster (2.53 GHz) processor and can handle more RAM, but that comes with a significant price jump. If you're looking for a slightly snappier job, I'd say go for the Pro (I own a 13" and am very happy with it), but a regular Macbook will be sufficient for what you're planning to do. [/QUOTE]
