i use a quad core G5 at work fully specced up with 8 gig of ram and a tera bite hard drive and although its capable of doing a lot i think my 4 year old macbook is more than enough with its lowly 2gb ram and 80gb hard drive. its more than enough to run photoshop 4 and illustrator while browsing the web and listening to tunes. no point going over kill with a pro as its not cheap and the basic one is more than up to the job :happy2:

....That's exactly what I've got at home but my daughter's MacBook Pro 17" performs just as well. New big iMac for me........ When I stop spending on my car!

Psh, here's something for you Macaholics. My mum's got an Intel dual-core iMac 4, like this:
It's suffered a hard disk drive failure.
Were it a normal computer, i.e., one not built by a money-hungry egomaniac with delusions of grandeur, I would be able to happily remove the hdd, put it in a caddy and connect it to my machine where I could assault the drive with a vast and bewildering array of tools to recover all the data. I could also buy a nice 1TB hdd and use that as a replacement.
Because it's not a normal computer, I can't do any of that; I either have to go through a nightmarish disassembly procedure (because, y'know, Apple don't really care about serviceability or longevity - "it's broken? just buy a new one!") or give it to Apple so some Mactard "genius" can tell me to buy a new one and then gleefully overcharge me for a repair. Which still won't have recovered the data off the hdd.
But hey. Think different, right?
