MBW OR MBP ?

definitely would be getting the 13.3-inch
the HDD should'nt be a matter whether is 160/250G because can get an external one which is much cheaper right?
Processor: 2.26GHz or 2.53GHz?
RAM: 2Gb or 4Gb ?

Questions:

the following are not provided in the mac book white right?
(can you briefly explain the use of it and how to overcome this matter in MBW)
FireWire 800 port
SD card slot

is the cracking occur in this MBW?
and any problems with this MBW?

Usage:
mainly is to surf net

music production(not the too serious type yet and wont be too regular now because kinda busy with other commitments)
Logic Studio cost RM1700+ blink.gif < may use the cheaper one 1st in Mac then upgrade.. but miracle can happen
to get use with the mac world, perhaps gettin another better specs in 1 or 2 years time

microsoft office n adobe reader < need this 2 very much..is this come together in the package or need to buy it separately n any alternative laugh.gif ?
probably gonna install the Window OS < how much space this will eat up?

watching '' brows.gif thumbup.gif VIDEOS brows.gif thumbup.gif '' < heard not much affected by viruses? drool.gif rclxm9.gif


Nos:
definitely wont use for games, would use desktop instead


Purchase:
should be from an authorised reseller(premium) because the services they provide



So much thanks for any reply biggrin.gif

installing windows natively in bootcamp...maybe 15gb is good enough if u dont plan to install a lot of stuff in it. if performance isnt that important, consider using windows as a virtual machine (u need to get either Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion). for VM i'd recommend 4gb or RAM

sometimes even premium resellers are not that good

edit: damnit i got a "Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message" replying this haha. never know got limit

biggrin.gif was asked to reduce the smilies as well

by the way, what do you mean by virtual machine? and whats the WMware Fusion? <is it a software to run both OS side by side?

whats the different between iwork and iwork family package? < share up to 4 users?so the cost would be cheaper?

notice that the price of softwares bundle in together with a mac is cheaper than buying single individual software... or did i see wrongly?
