At Home I use the computer for


Photos.

I take a lot of pictures with my Canon 7D the photos is between 8-10 MB each.

I use Iphoto for very small editing.

My Iphoto with 30.000 pitures and .mov files i 205 GB


Video editing

I use Imovie for Video efiting. I a have HD sony Camcorder.

I also rip my childrens DVD’s so the can se them on Apple TV 2 and on the go.


Is the graphic card with 256 mb in the macbook pro 2.0 enough ?

Do I need too 7200 rpm on the disk for video editing or is it okay with 5400 rpm.


Which suites my needs the Macbook pro 15” 2.0 2011 og the Macbook pro 15” 2.2 2011?

If budget isn't an option, go for the 2.2. The main differences is the processor speed and graphics card. For HD editing, the i7 quad is great with its 2.2. Depending on your workflow (I work on Win7x64 desktop for editing), you may want to have your footage on an external drive and not shared with your OS drive. If you are, then yes, definitely get the 7200rpm drive. As for graphics, it really depends. You would be ok with either one depending again on what you will be doing. If you are doing Video editing and photos.. might as well upgrade the ram while your at it too.

2.2

i would say the 2.2, just for the 6750m graphics.

He does nothing that would stress out the GPU. I'd say 6490M is more than enough.

The 2.2 is about 10-15% faster in terms of CPU than the 2.0.

Approx 10-15% greater in terms of CPU speed than the 2.0 Quad. The 2.0 Quad is no slouch.
