What Mac notebook should I get.

[UltimaLink]

Hi.

I currently own a compaq presario CQ60, I have used a mac and owned one, though I returned it (Long story and I don't regret a thing) but my laptop is starting to become underpowered, and since I am building a PC I want to get a mac laptop. My question is what one should I get.

I'll use it for ToonBoom animation studio5.0, Photoshop(Maybe, I'll get it when the laptop I have dies out, but for now I have a windows only art program) iTunes, and Garageband.

I'm looking for portability, but I DO NOT want a macbook air.

Should I get a macbook or macbook pro? And if I get a macbook, should I get 2 gigs of ram or 4?

For what you've listed here, you won't need anything above the white unibody polycarbonate Macbook. ToonBoom only requires an Intel processor with 1 GB of RAM. For $999, the white Macbook comes with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB of RAM, a 250 GB HDD and a NVidia Geforce 320M graphics card. The aluminum unibody Macbook Pro comes with identical specs, although it comes standard with 4 GB of RAM.

Portability-wise, both the white Macbook and the aluminum one are under 5 pounds (white at 4.7 lbs and aluminum at 4.5 lbs), so they can easily be carried around. Both will also provide you with a maximum of 10 hours of battery life.

If you'd like to compare the different Macbooks for yourself, you can do so here.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I would like to know, is the macbook pro worth the extra two gigs of ram and money?

Yes, 2x2GB is already 100$ so you're paying 100$ for aluminum body, FireWire 800, SD slot etc. You could also take a look at refurbs if you're on budget

I Don’t recommend any of them until they get rid of those terrible Intel Graphics.

13" doesn't have Intel IGP and 15" and 17" have dual GPUs...

You have so many mac’s it would look more appealing to the community in all fairs well if you had more then just one brand of computers, or just your i mac and Mac pro alone lol.

What have you been drinking? Did you even read OP's post? He has a PC, not a Mac...
