    What is the best laptop OR processing speed (and any other typical computer specs) are needing if I want to get into print designs? I know we have to expore HUGE 300 DPI files (I'm talking 100 MB a file), which laptop/computer would be ideal?

    I'm thinking about the macbook because its great for graphics design, I'm I'm afraid of the speed..

    The fastest processor out there is the intell core 2 duo. Is there a specific program you will be using? because you might want to look into atleast 2 GB of ram.

    I currently have a duo processor, apparent apple is going to release a 4x processor one?? That's a lot of RAM, I only have 512MB at the moment.. so I need high RAM also?
