O OPsDad macrumors member Jan 6, 2009 33 0 Southern Louisiana Jan 10, 2009 #28 I voted "other" . . . adamvk said: Well the portability would be very nice, but I guess I don't need it. Click to expand... So here's the suggestion you want for the "other": 15 inch MBP (late 08 "unibody"). 2.53 GHz. 4 GB RAM. If you order it, get the 7200 rpm 320 gig drive. Just my $0.02.
