Hi

I'm after a macbook/laptop (should be buying it next month unless there’s a good reason not to) and just wanted to know which out of the two you guys would go for? Is it worth paying that little extra to be apart of the mac world or would I be better sticking with PC?

Also out of apples current choice of macbooks which one would you go for and would you make any changes to the specs or would you hold tight to see what’s on the horizon (OS X leopard)?

I’m looking to budget about £1000 to this and the laptop will be used for photo editing primarily – I have access to PS CS2 for PC and PS CS3 for Mac so I’m happy enough to go PC or Mac,

So what would you guys do?

Considering that this is a Mac forum, what answer would you expect? Of course you should get the MacBook. You will not be disappointed, and you will not pay more for it than you would for a comparably equipped PC laptop.

Of the MacBook models, I think the high-end white one is the best deal. Budget an extra $100 or so for some third-party memory so you can max your RAM at 2GB.

You'll have a great machine!

Ditto on getting the MacBook and third party RAM. It's expensive to upgrade through Apple, but as long as you get the correct RAM for you machine it will work beautifully. I just brought my iMac Core Duo up to 2GB and I'm happy as a clam.
