[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 474420, member: 29446"] It may just be a perception of compact looks = compact weight. My 15" MBP looks like it should weigh no where near what my 17" dell weighs, but it's still a lot heavier than you would think. I'm not saying it's unmanagable or too heavy, just it weighs more than it looks like it should. And after scanning the thread, this is my final answer. [url]http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=3929D548&node=home/specialdeals/mac[/url] Refurbed 15" 2.2 Santa Rosa MBP. You can get it for pretty cheap and it will do everything you need and it can power up to a 30" external display. I have the last gen 2.16 MBP with 2gb of RAM and it does everything I need to do flawlessly. In fact, last week I recorded a song for an artist that was working with our studio in Logic. It ended up with 27 tracks because of edits and such. I never had it stutter even once. I run photoshop and lightroom and illustrator on a regular basis and usually have no less that 10 programs open at once. You'll probably be forced to run parallels if you're testing on IE and don't actually want to boot into Windows, but most of the other browsers have OS X versions, including Fire Fox. I'm shooting you anohter PM that also may help in deciding. [/QUOTE]
