I need something to hold me off till a redesign. saw a 13" 2010 MBP 2.4 for $900 on CL and thinking of pulling the trigger. Im just wondering how it will handle photoshop, indesign, lightroom, illustrator, ect. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

I've got that model - and i havent come across any issues in photoshop - not used any of the other apps yet - but photoshop runs abs Fine!
I've not come across a single issue - and i also hamer the hell out of dreamweaver - not the most intensive program agreed but still with that open itunes and about 3 other programs i dont have a single hiccup in PS...
I am not talking about stability. I am talking speed. It is just as stable on any Mac running the same version of the App and OS. I thought we were talking performance. Photoshop likes clock speed more than cores so get something at least closer to 2.8GHz. Any chip. 2.4 Core2Duo will work but it will not be a speed demon.
You've never experienced speed either.
God, you guys dont get it. There is no lag per se. The machine is slow doing most things other machines would fly on. For instance, applying filters could take 30 sec on the 2.4GHz C2D it will take 5-10 sec on a Mac Pro. Slow. Not wonkey, buggy, unstable or laggy. Just slower.
