Hi everyone,

My 2008 macbook recently died (HD failure) and rather than installing a new one (I think it was the first of many things to start failing..) I was thinking about buying this MacBook pro

http://www.welovemacs.com/mb133lla1.html

I will use it to edit and re-write a book over the summer and for articles after as well. I also have a MacAir 11 inch which I use for travel.

I heard some bad things about the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor - is this something I should worry about?

I may end up buying a new Pro at some point (once the new models are out and I receive some additional funding) but I thought this one might be a nice one to hold me over - typing on the 11 inch only is making my head hurt!

Would be VERY grateful for your advice!
