Ok. Heres the deal..
Ive just had a really bad experience with refurbished powerpc IMAC i purchasedv just over a year ago. There has been a malfunction in the actual hardware thats gone beyond a repairable state. So i need to purchase a cpu and fast.

Im really up for spending the bucks and getting a mac pro, as i will be using it for motiongraphic creation using after effects and motion. On the other hand, I produce electronic music and i am wanting to start a performance which will utilize a labtop.. so im stuck.

How much slower is the top of the range 4 gig ram/ 7200 rpm MBP compared to a mac pro? Apart from rendering speeds is there a big difference..???

would love to hear your opinions.
cheers
