Just for some background, I'm currently a high school senior. I plan to get a new laptop for college, which starts in August, but I'd also like to have the laptop before I move to college to be able to have it all set up and already be comfortable with it - as well as be able to transfer files from my desktop to it (mainly music files).
Laptop-wise, I already know I'm going to get a Mac. However, I'm unsure whether MacBook or MacBook Pro is a better choice for me. I'm not much of a gamer, but other than school related stuff and internet use my primary use for it will be graphic design (I'm a big photoshop user). I also plan on possibly using the MacBook to edit videos, and create a website. Other than that, I'd like to be able to play DVDs on the laptop, as well as burn them. Finally, I'd like to be able to run Windows on it as well. I've heard that the MacBooks will automatically come with Boot Camp on it, but I'll probably be purchasing Parallels as well.
1) What laptop do you suggest for me: MacBook or MacBook Pro?
2) Any idea on how long I'll have to wait to get a MacBook (Pro) with Leopard on it?
3) Will Boot Camp or Parallels be able to work with Vista?
4) What exactly is Santa Rosa?
