What the heck do you mean 'Mac Tech increasing terribly'???
FYI, Intel > AMD > IBM. Apple made the right choice with Intel.

I hated mac when I started using it...I dont dislike windows even though I operate mac more then pcs. its just that mac lets me do my job smoothly and when I feel like poking around, Ill do it on windows.

Ha...I have the exact situation like you. Still cannot decide which model to take. Thinking of getting 13 inch higher spec with 2.53 processor so that I do not need to upgrade myself. However, the price is not cheap. Will be using it for photo editing. BTW, mbw lack of sd card reader which I feel not convenient to copy photo from my camera sd card. Not saying it does not have back-lit keyboard and iSight sensor. This post has been edited by chewlf: Nov 24 2009, 07:34 PM

who says macbook white dont have isight? haha get macbook white and max out the ram till 4gb and you are good to go. u can save your money on buying accessories and acpp. no sd card buy external usb one la. is firewire an important role to u guys? if yes then get the mbp. unless if you buy the higher end model which is the 15inch macbook pro then theres difference. but up to you guys.

Hello apple fellows in Lowyat.. i need advise esp ppl owning either one of the 21.5 inch imac. i'm a video editing enthusiast. i'm planning to get a 21.5imac. my budget is around 7k for a Lumix dmc-gf1 and of cos, the mac. so.. the gf1 will cost me around 2.8k.. left me with 4k plus. i use alot of imovie and fcp, motion, those editing apps. i was wondering the 9400nvidia and ati radeon hd 4670 makes much difference in rendering and editing stuff? i'm still a student and i feel guilty to ask for such money from my parents. T.T should i ask more for a 5k plus ATI imac or just go with the lowest spec imac? need advice!! PLSPLSPLS~~~
