Well as title, i had intended to get a macbook yonks ago but got the imac, Love the imac and got is as didnt really need the mobilty.
However it takes time away from the family,
as im sat at the imac away in my little room, this is urksome to my better half.

I was going to get a refurbed macbook alluminium but would this be enough for photo editing?

I noticed they have dropped the alluminium from the macbook range i suppose as it was getting close to the pro price point.

I really want a pro but again needs to be a refurb and this is harder to get at my price point £800 mark but ill try and stretch.

I notice the refurb for the macs is offline, well nothing up for sale on the mac front, i think wednesday is the update day but wonder if they will keep them off untill friday for the snow leopard release as its pontless this close continuing the ship with osx and get update for cost of shipping as they have been.

So Back to the beggining what spec in macbook for editing please?

Thank you all my learned friends.

ANY current Mac is upto photo editing so just choose the one you prefer. I have a 17" macbook pro and a mac pro but I also had an iBook 1.33GHz for portability and it was still usable. Any current model is 5 times quicker+

they rebranded the aluminium macbook as the 13" macbook pro, previously the pro range was just 15" and 17" ones.

ssshhh don't tell him the cap is still on.
 
I've got one of the plastic Macbooks and it is fine for editing power/speed wise, although I use it with a separate monitor, but I think that would be the case with any of the smaller laptops.

For just doing Lightroom keywording etc and the odd bit of on the go editing it is fine.
