Which One For ME!?

[walleyealx]

Im buying a mac tonight and I need help deciding on which one to get!

I am mainly going to be using it for garage band and pro tools with some gaming (counter strike source).

Is a macbook sweet enough for this?


THANKS

probably not... the integrated graphics on the macbook really hinders that performance.

It's also harder to play games on a 13" screen.

MBP is more suited for casual gaming.

you need to give us more information. what are you looking at, specs. more of what you'll be doing with it.

For you I would say the MBP.

Hmm....

Im going to be using boot camp or parallels.... and i tend to leave a billion programs open at once...

Seems like the mbp must be the one for me

Get the Middle Model (White) MacBook. You will love it .

The instant you said "gaming", you made your choice. That is, MBP. You're not going to get a satisfactory experience with the integrated graphics of the MP unless you're very undemanding.

Definitely MBP if you're going to be doing gaming. If you leave a lot of apps open, as well, make sure you get quite a bit of RAM (1.5-2 GB would be good).

for the apps that you listed i would say a 20" imac is good for you..you need screen real estate
