Just one question... if i run photoshop and Illustrator in macbook 2.2ghz in same time will it be hang?

I plan to buy MBP but looking at the price in Aus is too expensive... I'll be using mostly Adobe programs with some 3D program for my Uni next year scared Macbook cannot support the workload...

oh well.. most likely i'll get the new santa rosa Macbook with 4 gb ram which i will buy in KL beofre i leave to AUS.. save soem money to buy apple care...

here's roughly what I will use Photoshop,Illustrator, Lightwave, and flash.

Extra hardware like external hardisk and some notebook cooler enough?

You would probably need the external drive if you work with a lot of images.

As for the notebook cooler, you can pick it up later. Have you tried  education discount? You might want to find out if your uni is giving any discounts for Macs.

Yup RMIT does have uni discount, MBP is A$ 2,599.00 for 2.2 ghz and A$ 3,299.00 for 2,4 ghz.

as for macbook A$ 1,749.00 for 2.2 ghz white and A$ 2,049.00 for black color..

I know i should get MBP but if i can survive with Macbook wih 4gb ram, save some money till i can afford myself to buy the MBP in future.. laugh.gif
