[QUOTE="JerseyF1, post: 789854, member: 70619"] Hi all. I was set to be getting the top line Macbook tomorrow. However I found out that my pay is coming next month instead so I won't be able to buy one tomorrow. Because of the little bit extra I will be getting with the extra month in place, I was wondering whether I should splash it out on going one better and getting the cheapest Macbook pro. I'm currently at college so I would be using Final Cut, Photoshop, Word and maybe have a play at the odd game. I'll probably install Vista onto the laptop via boot camp also. I have a few questions to ask to help make me make a final decision: 1. How good are the graphics over just the Macbook and the ATI 2400 HD in the cheapest iMac? 2. Is firewire a necessity considering I have a free port on my iMac at home? 3. Does the extra 2 inches really make all the difference? 4. Apart from graphics, firewire and screen size, are there any other differences between the top Macbook and the bottom Macbook Pro? Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers JerseyF1 [/QUOTE]
