Hello,
I recently realized that macrumors had a forum, and I have a question. I've pretty much decided that a black macbook fits what I need. I know all about the macbook and the issues people have with the GMA950 video card versus the macbook pro. I was wondering how it would compare to my aging PC, which is an 2gz AMD 2800+, 1gb ram, and an ATI 9600pro 128mb video card. Games (mostly HL2 and CSS) can be a little slow, but overall it's fine for the limited amount of time that I actually play games. Applications such as Adobe Lightroom are can be noticeably slow.
Can I expect better, worse, or equal performance from a macbook? Oh, and part of the time I will probably be using a 1680x1050 20" LCD. When I do this I'll probably turn off the main laptop display.
Thanks for the advice.
