I've never owned a mac myself but have been using them for...7 years.
I've narrowed it down to the Macbook Pro (the 13" screen on the Macbook is gonna be too small) but I don't know which Macbook Pro to get. I don't want to get more than I'll need/use because it does cost so much. but I also want to get something that'll last me awhile and that I can use professionally, not just play.
The macbook specifications are
here and I don't really know what everything means.
The programs I will be constantly using on it include: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, possibly InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Imovie.
The 17inch is obviously the best choice, but I'm not sure if I'll need all that.
I'm looking for recommendations, mainly deciding between the two 15 options unless the 17inch is really the way to go.
I don't know how the features translate into what I'll be using the laptop for (art/design)
Any help/insight would be much appreciated! Thanks
