The 2.4 MB vs MBP showdown

[ATLswmr]

I need some help... Should I go with the 13" 2.4 MB or the 15" 2.4 MBP? I will be using it for web surfing, the Office suite, and would like to learn Photoshop, Flash and Final Cut. Am I really going to notice a $400 difference between the extra graphics card and screen size?

Also, do the speaker grills on the MBP mean clearer/louder sound than the MB that doesn't have them...or is it just decoration?

it's clearer and louder than the mb, but still sounds in notebook suck. better get a nice of sennheiser px 100 for your audio listening.

i think the macbook is enough for you.

The most important aspect to consider is screen size.

Just think, if you went with the 15", and a few months later traded it in for a 13" MacBook, could you live with the smaller screen? Not if you were busy with video editing and photoshop during that time!

Screen size and resolution is all-important when it comes to such apps, because the workspace can never be big enough, but the new MB with the new 24" display is a lovely combo, if you can afford it.
