Have you considered going with the 15" MacBook Pro but bumping to 8GB RAM? I think that would be a killer mobile editing machine. Hey Alan,

You should be OK with 4GB RAM. Have you considered going with the 15″ MacBook Pro but bumping to 8GB RAM? I think that would be a killer mobile editing machine.

I'm considering a Macbook Pro 17" that's a 2.8Ghz w 4GB of RAM with Photoshop and LR. I'm just hoping 4GB would be enough? I’ve never had a Mac – only PC laptops.

The only problem is that the hot corners are now about a meter apart! I'm using a Wacom tablet and might have to up the sensitivity to save my wrist a little. Everything works seamlessly -- the cursor and windows just flow across the small gap between the two screens. I could put up to 16GB in the machine -- RAM must be upgraded in pairs, so I have two pairs of 2GB sticks, in addition to the original 1GB of RAM included with the system (in two 512MB sticks). Yes, I plan to upgrade to Leopard. I'm sure Apple isn't too worried about this USB bug now, even though it was introduced a while ago with the 10.4.10 OS update.

I assume it it works across both screens seamlessly? Just how much RAM can you have in that machine with those spare slots?! About the OS X bug - are you going to upgrade to Leopard next month?
