Since the Modbook is a modified macbook, I was wondering how the performance was on a macbook running Photoshop CS3 and/or Painter 9. I'm planning to get the modbook to use it as a "digital sketchbook" and was wondering how macbooks handle these two programs. I plan on having the 2 gig processor and 2 gigs of ram as basics.

Thanks!

With 2gb, it will work flawlessly. I am using PS CS3 with 512mb, and it still works fine. Slightly laggy with a document with lots of layers, but hardly noticeable.

Nice to hear -- I plan on coloring comics with this, doing sketching and so on and since they are not offering a MacbookPro modification I was worried about performance. Now if they only had a Black model.
