[QUOTE="quin, post: 1005872, member: 136361"] Seems like you are hanging towards a 13" which would be OK also. Not like you can't do a zoom view when doing photos or plug it into an external monitor you may already have. I would try to get a 2.53Ghz processor(faster) just because it may gives you quicker results when photoshop. 2GB or 4GB is the RAM memory for multitasking, opening all kinds of apps and windows to do your thing. 4GB gives the computer the ability to handle all that comfortably and then some. It's an easy upgrade if DIY or have Apple do it. Cost about the same around $100-$120. I ordered my Crucial 4GB RAM set for $111. If Apple can do it for you within $20 of that price I would think just let them upgrade for you to save time shopping and installing yourself. One catch though, if you DIY, you get to keep the original set of RAM =) Same thing with the hard drive. Just upgrade mine to 500GB myself at total $107 + $10 external enclosure. If you decide to upgrade yourself, this forum will have very helpful people to guide like when I was trying to on mine. [/QUOTE]
