AGreed! To take both sides of this though, a friend of mine does professional video editing / DVD authoring on a much slower machine than an MB, and I myself, have also done photo editing with Photo Shop on a slower machine as well. So it definitely can be done and donehowever well / reasonably.

To Back up your point Shaun though, the extra processing power can really be an asset quite a lot though, as processes that one might never even imagine, (which have absolutely nothing to do with video editing or such) can really swamp a processor, more than some might think possible. Of course, most of this is dealt with by coders with good coding practices, however a lot of what people think of as very simple tasks can really add up.

Have an awesome day and rock on!…

Smiles,

Plus the more power you have the more applications you can run at one time. Please don't think that because you are blind that you require less.

Hi all,

I ordered a 15 and a 17 inch 2.6ghz mac book pros with 200gb hd
drives and
4gb of ram.  The 17 has that led display wow!  It won't be here till
mid
march but the 15 which will be mine should be here by the end of the
week.

I completed the entire order on the web and everything was accessible
although the actual macbook selection was a bit of a guessing game.
I did
it through windows though.  The Next one I do will be on the Mac.
<giggle>
actually, I've made a purchase or two on the Mac.
