[QUOTE="Jez, post: 560437, member: 44947"] Hello i wonder if you good folks would help me out with some opinions on what Mac i should get next? I am a freelance web developer, so use mostly Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. Being freelance i am at 2 different places throughout the week so thinking a laptop would be handy to take to both and keep all the work on it. Now i like how small the macbook is but am concerned with the power of it? Thus looking at the macbook pro but not so keen on its size. At home where i work part of the week, i have a MacMini (MacMini G4 1.42G 512RAM ) which is fine just alittle slow when say i have photoshop, dw and illustrator open. The rest of the week i use an iMac with 2Ghz intel core and 1Gig of Ram and find it quite quick with no problems. So what would be best, would a macbook be quick enough or not? I used one for some work with low specs and it was slow, would a higher spec one be ok or should i really just ignore that and go straight for a Macbook pro? Thanks for any opinions :) [/QUOTE]
