gotdamsg,
Switching to a Mac isn't as difficult as most people think - it would require some sort of familiarity but u'll definitely get the hang of it pretty quick. The short cut keys for Adobe might be a little different but i been told it's primarily the same, it's just on different platform - at least that's what my Creative people tells me - they haven't had problems switching from Mac to PC or PC to Mac though in the initial beginning they were a little less productive but it's all the same, apparently.

If ur not looking for a 'mobile' unit, I suggest u get the Mac Pro and hook it onto a nice huge screen

kevler,
It doesn't seem to me that gotdamsg has a budget constraint like most of us do...

allvin,
He did mention the MBP but if he's not going to need a system on the go, wouldn't it be better to get the Mac Pro instead?

My mistake for not reading carefully. Between the MB and MBP, go for the MBP - now u just need to check which MBP to go for

@gotdamsg,
I'm sure u'll like it. Haf fun with ur new toy .. I oredi find the 15.4" MBP a little too heavy *grins*
