[QUOTE="Kash, post: 290710, member: 23444"] If you'll only be using the notebook for simple applications, then the Macbook has MORE than enough horsepower for your needs. Just make sure it has 1GB of RAM and you'll be quite content. In your case, you would only need to consider a Macbook Pro if you want the larger screen size. Otherwise you won't really get much of a performance benefit. As for your desktop, what are your needs for it? If you plan on using the desktop the same way as the notebook, then an iMac with the largest screen you can afford would be the way to go. However, if you need some serious muscle for your desktop, for example video editing, then a Mac Pro might be a better choice as you have the option for much more powerful hardware. I bought the black Macbook two weeks ago and I am LOVING it. I use it far more than my desktop PC (heck, I've been using it for 12 hours straight for the past three days to help me study for finals). In fact, I've unofficially relegated my PC just for watching videos and the occasional game while I do all my school work and browse the Internet with my Macbook. The screen size is absolutely perfect, especially considering how light it is. My only gripe about it is that it's practically a fingerprint magnet. Ah well, nothing a little cloth can't get out :black: [/QUOTE]
