    MG33. I think i'm in your place. I do a lot of work that doesn't center around 3d or video. I'm a drummer and do a lot of programming/loops as well as running cs3 master collection. my macbook works fine. I upgraded memory and my hd (320 internal + 1tb external) and I'm totally fine.

    It works well for a lot of my design and I have a 19" 2nd monitor for when i want to do larger projects or just space things out better. Sometimes I think a 15" screen would be nice, but 13 is totally fine.

    I think the biggest difference is color/style. I like black more than silver and I didn't have the bankroll. They are both great machines.
    If you have the money, mbp has a bigger screen, the fw800 port and backlit keyboard. If that doesn't matter, save money and get the macbook.
