My imac runs better than my friends macpro but his is pre switched to intel design.

That said, with regards to don't bother with a MacBook, I disagree. Unless you're doing anything, like, hardcore, a MacBook should see you through.


I also note that OP hasn't popped in since he made the thread. He probably just wanted to start the inevitable flame war. Genius.
