Laptop for personal and protools

    I want to get a mac laptop for college work, general personal use like broadband internet, and recording music . We already have protools with a digidesign rack and all at home , so I'd be using that. As that would be the primary memory muncher and all, and seeing the problems it caused on my bro's computer because he didn't have a breeze what he was doing, what'd be the best one to get?
    I've about a grand and a half( 1600 max) to spend, and I'd like to keep this lad working for years to come. I have no clue what I'm doing and I don't trust anything I hear from apple.
    The student scheme at trinity offers decent enough discounts, so price range may be a bit misleading.

    Not getting much response on the laptops forum, so I'll move it over to the Mac forum.

    Unless you want the larger screen, I'd suggest a 2Ghz Macbook over a Macbook Pro.
    Gives you more money for extra RAM, and the HDD is user-upgradeable too.
