Hi, Not sure if this is in the right section.... but i'm new here so maybe i can be forgiven!
Currently i use a PPC g4 (quicksilver) 800MHz and 1.5Gb ram with 32Mb GeForce graphics card....
I am currently looking to buy a macbook of some description. The programmes that i will mostly use on it include CaptureOne Pro (to shoot tethered from digital cameras), and Photoshop CS3. I will also be doing the usual web browsing, and although i rarely play any games, i may do from time to time.
Obviously my first choice would be to go straight for a macbook pro! However after i have been doing some research i have noticed that many people seem to think that this is unwarranted..... Lots of guys reckon i'll notice virtually no difference between a Pro and an ordinary Macbook (provided i upgrade the memory to 4GB). Screen size doesn't bother me too much as i will plug into a larger monitor (19") most of the time.
Above i mention the desktop i mostly use (which is a little slow now) and would like to know if it would be a drastic performance improvement over what i already have too (for whichever macbook).
Is it really worth the 200quid ($400) saving getting an upgraded macbook rather than just going with the MBP?
Any help will be gratefully received..
