Just looking for some advice....

The last mac I bought has been a few years - 2005: Version 10.4.11 PowerPC G5; yes its old.

I am comparing the MacBookPro and the MacPro for website development. Currently I am using the following programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Virtual PC and QuarkXpress) and want to make sure that I won't have any problems with the MacBookPro as I spend most of the summer on the road and would like to give my customers opportunity to have work done when I'm not at around.

My question is: Has anyone had trouble running the above programs on their MacBookPro? Can it handle the programs fine?

And one more question: Could anyone recommend the newest software for web design: ie: Dreamweaver and Virtual PC.

I've honestly been out of the loop since I can update my computer any longer so I haven't kept up with the software advances...

Thank you so much!
