I can't decide on which Mac I should get.



-I browse the internet and do plenty of e-mail.

-But I also work with photos and I am going to use it with Photoshop Elements and maybe a Wacom tablet too.

-I also already have an iPod and will definately use iTunes and iMovie.

-I don't do gaming.

-I will travel with it.



I know all about Macworld in January and will wait and see what happens then.



Although the Black Macbook is 13", I don't know if that is too crowded for me.



I can't decide whether to go with glossy or antiglare if I do happen to get the MBP.



What do you suggest?

    If you get the black Macbook you'll save enough money to get an external monitor.

    That is a good point. A Macbook seems perfect for your usage. It's lighter and a little easier to carry around, and since you don't need it for gaming or high end media applications, it seems like the best choice.

    White MacBook.



    I'd steer well clear of both the MacBook Pro and the black MacBook.

    Why? I thought that they both were great.

    You pay $200 more for the color, 40GB more HD space, and more visible fingerprints. The aesthetics aren't worth it. Trust me. I've had my white Macbook for a year and I can't see a scratch on it unless I look at it in direct lighting from an angle. I do baby it, though.
