FCS2 WILL WORK on a macbook! I'm running it on my 2.2ghz 4gb blackbook. I only use three programs out of the suite; Final Cut Pro, Livetype, and DVD Studio Pro. My macbook runs all three of these like a champ, the only thing I notice is that it makes the fan spin up all the way. From what I've heard, Motion and Color will also run on the macbook, but the lack of a dedicated graphics card makes them nearly impossible to actually use. Those are the only two apps that really require the dedicated graphics, everything else can be run fine by the macbook's integrated graphics.
