The new macbook will do fine. You don't need a macbook pro. If I didn't need windows for my job, I wouldn't be using it because I can scan and word process etcettera just fine. The only thing that hands me up is some web sites. I can't get the Mac to see my victor reader stream but I can use a card reader so that's not a big issue.

I have a bit of a situation and I wouldn't mind some thoughts if you have the time. I am moving onto campus for uni next year, meaning my imac is staying at home, and my laptop is going to uni. The only thing is my laptop is a PC and I can not live without a mac (can you say material girl?). I really only use the PC for Jaws and zoomtext when voiceover and the mac can't do something I need (like OCR - i hate the software you can get for OCR on a mac) and a few other things. So I am on my mac the majority of the time. The thing is I don't like living without either of the operating systems, so I thought, why not upgrade to a new macbook and do the bootcamp thing. I am wondering - would the low end macbook model be able to cope with widnows and potentially run zoomtext and JAWS at the same time, plus any other applications I should need at the same time? (I mean the low end aluminium one, not the white one by the way). Or should I just get the top end one? I'm kind of thinking about a macbook pro. It has the potential to cope, as well as last forever if I need it to, but gosh its a big wod of money. Thoughts anyone?
