hey,
So I'm looking to invest in a new mac, i was looking into the Mac book Pros but perhaps you can tell me other wise.

I'm a student of photography and film making so generally as of now i know i would be needing

-Final cut pro or express
-photo shop
- illustrator

I also love to watch movies and occasionally play some high end video games; bioshock, civilization, rome total war. so i guess in that sense i know i would need a pretty up to date graphics cards.

so on the site they offer 15 inch, intel core 2 duo, 4GB memory 320 GB HD,
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 256MB, built in 7hour battery for
$2000

i know the geforce 9400m is not so great but not sure how the gaming and movie works with the 9600m GT. i'm still a little new to this whole comupter thing so any advice or recommendation would be great as to what you think is best suited for me, thanks!
