Re:new laptop in question - 2008/10/21 10:16
I have a now-3-year-old 1.5 GHz 12" PB, a size that I really really love and wish that Apple would bring back--but they won't. It does all I want, running 10.5, but I'm not heavily into image or film processing. A good friend of mine, who is heavily into image processing, has a MB--I don't know which model, but it's now a couple years old--and it works great for him. The new MB should be even more efficient with image processing. For video, though, I think a MBP would be the best bet--if you're seriously into it, that is. The 17", IMHO, is too large for a laptop. I'd plop down for the 15". Remember that as a soon-to-be college student, you get a student discount (I don't know whether folks in high school get the same kind of discount). Think also about a refurbished laptop--usually the previous generation, but with the same warranty as a new one, and with the possibility of getting Apple Care on top of that. They're good deal.
