> The PC is just as strong obviously, but saying that a macbook is crap and you should get a notebook does no justice. CS4 is offered on a MAC and unless you spend $3000+ on a PC you’ll never be able to get it to run as smooth as you would on a MAC. I’ve built many custom PC’s and I’ve worked at Best Buy for the past year and a half as a Computer Specialist, so I can tell you first hand that currently in this day in age, buying a pre-built PC is now cheaper than building one with the same specs. Even at that point expect to pay $3000 for a LAPTOP with just about par specs as the new Macbook Pro’s, which now cost roughly $2300.

I work at Future Shop in the ‘Connect Pro’ department. 😛

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying but I’m going to say, in my opinion from first hand experience, that the plain-old MacBooks are definitely over-priced dogs. They’re extremely slow for the price.

MacBook Pros however are probably some of the best notebooks on the market. Unless you’re willing to drop the cash on getting a Pro I would say just stick with a regular Windows notebook or PC.
