    Another newbie dispatch. :)

    For you Macbook owners, how do you find the intel graphics? If I didn't plan on much gaming and was just looking for solid performance in photoshop, final cut and traditional DVD viewing, web site displays, would I be seeing a difference in performance between the MB and the MBP?

    For those things there will not be a noteiceable difference.

    Yeah, you won't really notice any impact on what you're going to be doing. The tasks you're doing are mainly CPU/RAM intensive.

    Awesome! So, the only real reason for me to get the MBP over the MB would be that newfangled motion-sensing hard-drive protection feature. I'm fine with the smaller screen and can do without the light-sensitive features and backlighting, cool as they undoubtledly would be. Thanks for the info!

    The MB has the newfangled motion-sensing hard-drive protection feature as well.

    If you're gonna be working in high resolution images you'll notice somewhat of a lag.

    For example if I set the image to show actual size in Preview, and scroll around with a mouse I notice it kinda lags behind the image, now its not a BAD lag, but just thought people should know. I honestly dont know many who work at the full resolution that often anyways.
