i have a 13 inch macbook pro with the i5 (early 2011 model)
 - it's fine for mucking about on the net and handles photoshop/lightroom ok
 - touchpad is epic
 - no chance of playing newest 3d games
 - it's proper solid though!

My niece wants a mac when she starts her graphic design course. Her dad has argued that all the software is available on pc and that it would be more cost effective to get a pc laptop. Her dad is a proper computer programmer/system analyst. I showed him the different things that osx can do natively compared to wfat you had to do in windows with lots of different programmes. An example was how easy it is to mount an ISO image in osx as it comes with its own disk utility. The only way I could find to do this in windows was to install a programme that you need to download off the Internet.

Also iPhoto doesn't seem to have a windows equivalent at the moment. I wanted to send loads of pictures by email taken from my dslr. However in windows I couldn't find an easy way of making multiple jpg files smaller so that they are emailable

Good stuff, they're awesome. There's a few good sites with hints and tips but you'll pick it up fairly quick. First apps to get are caffeine, VLC player, Stuffit Expander and InsomiaX. All are available for free from the app store.
