[QUOTE="Levi, post: 478512, member: 33973"] Well, if I remember correctly you can no longer buy Final Cut Pro as a separate product; you have to get Final Cut Studio. That includes Motion (and some other things), and Motion doesn't work on the MacBook; only the Pro. Also, we used to use FCP on 17" iMacs at college, and let me tell you it was frustrating working on such "small" screens. Having run FCP on my MBP I think I could work quite comfortably on smaller projects (1 or 2 video tracks and a single audio track with a few clips), but for any real work (adding soundtracks and effects and having hundreds of clips) then I'd really want to work on a bigger screen so I can see everything at once and not have to be constantly scrolling up and down to see where something is. 13" would be less than ideal, even for on-location editing in my opinion. The choice is ultimately yours, but I think the MBP would offer a better all round experience. [/QUOTE]
