I'm planning to get a Macbook. The main purpose of getting one is to do editting with final cut pro and also aperture 2. May i know whether the 2.26ghz is enough for me?

And another thing is that i see there're people selling 2.13 ghz in GS. But then i can't see it in the apple website. Issit the 2.13 is the older spec? The latest spec lowest is 2.236ghz? Thanks

Not as attractive compared to oversea. At lease I can say local retailer promo don't catch my attention to buy. But some of them seems to have promo all year round.
Maybe you should check with them what they going to have or already having.

Hi everyone, I just joined apple and wanted to ask all mac sifus here, since i am an apple employee, I am entitle for a discount when purchase a mac. but of course after discount, macbook is still more expensive than normal laptop. what do you guys think? is that a good offer to buy mac? FYI, i have not use mac b4 and got 0 knowledge on mac. Even i work for apple, I will be supporting Ipod, not mac.

you still can install XP or windows in mac.... so why not try it ?
of course the games and applications are limited in mac....

if you are using it as a presentation tool, with artwork design capability, the mac is a good choice.

but just a word of advice, the battery life will not last for that long, if you run windows via bootcamp.

my flatmate and i, both can testify that.

@Lester1987,
U come onto an Apple forum to ask Apple supporters if U should purchase an Apple? Do u not think you'll be getting biased answers?

Yep ! I second that. The battery life on window bootcamp is halved of what i get

when i use Mac OS X instead.
