Never used it bud and to be honest I'd stick with PS as it's the industry standard. As for Mac Books themselves, they rock :grin:

ood work mate. You'll find it will last you for years as well. My Mum's last one did her 5 years before she felt the need to upgrade and she's a graphic designer by trade. I've now got it and it survives the abuse I give it just fine.

It's why they're more expensive but it really does work out cheaper int he long run!

I have had a MacBook Pro for the past 2 years, only thing I did was upgrade the ram from 2GB to 4GB for the measly cost of £35, runs as sweet as a nut, had one or two lock ups but that's when I'm pushing Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, iTunes and porn at the same time lol!


MacBooks are just as good, but it's just I do Graphic Design so needed a bit extra power. Get one man, they are the sex!

Shame you don't go to a education institution stink, as Apple do a discount off their Macs when bought through one, I saved £250 off mine and got the 3 year AppleCare for £55 (instead of the normal £200 odd).

Mate trust me that will be more than enough for you, you'll be surprised how powerful they are even on a lower spec (which isn't really lower spec tbh). Only thing I advise you to do is upgrade the ram, I bought mine from www.crucial.com and 4GB delivered was £35. It's dead easy to do as well and doesn't void warranty because it's user replaceable :)
