I know there might be a lot of these questions on these forums, but I kinda wanted your opinions, for you more hardware knowing people. I cannot choose between the 2.4GHz New Al MacBook or 2.4GHz New Al MacBook Pro. This is what I'll be doing with the machine:
  • Photoshop CS4
  • - Smaller images around 1440px by 900px @ 150dpi
  • - Larger images around 3000px by 3000px @ 200dpi
  • - Lots of fiters (Bluring, extruding, and rendering)
  • Dreamweaver CS4
  • - 5 websites
  • - about 8 pages open at a time
  • Aperture 2
  • - JPEG Images @ 3072px x 2304px @ 480dpi
  • - 200+ Images
  • Final Cut Express
  • - Small videos
  • - 640 x 480 videos
  • GarageBand
  • - mid-sized projects

Those are the larger things I will be doing with the notebook. I figured the larger screen and better graphics would be batter, but I'd like your opinion.

Thanks!
 
Sounds like you could get more satisfaction out of a MBP because of the type of editing you do on it.

It sounds like it will come down to the money, if you have it, I would go for the MBP. If not, you may have to consider the MB.
