I tought about selling some stuff to afford the Macbook Pro but still keep my iMac for the screensize (and better prestanda), but a big monitor makes so much more sense keeping all the files on one computer. <strong>Marcos Cerutti</strong>; Long time no see, Marcos! As I mentioned, the big screen seems very promising, and I really feel like missing out on the portabillity, so the MBP feels like the perfect solution.

Trust me, you'll feel caged under macbook. Try to save some more before sale your iMac and grab a macbook pro. still, 15" looks ridiculous small close to your 24". As Kyle said, you can always have a macbook and a external 22" / 22" display and deal with small screen just in some situations.

I even <a href="http://astheria.com/personal/the-desktop-and-laptop-dilemma" rel="nofollow">wrote about it</a> much like yourself. I'm happy to say that I am still loving working with a Macbook Pro, and using an external monitor when I need the extra screen real estate. Good luck! Hi Joel,

I had a similar situation myself a little over two years ago. I even wrote about it much like yourself. I’m happy to say that I am still loving working with a Macbook Pro, and using an external monitor when I need the extra screen real estate.

Good luck!

Though it is a big difference between 13" and 15" when it comes to working-space. I changed back to the circles, but I'm working on a better background that I'll finish once I'm done with some projects I got going.

I wouldn't. You will grow to know the limitations of a 13" monitor all too well in this profession. I wouldn't settle for anything lower than 15". Also, if your education is likely to involve a sizeable amount of print design I'd consider a MacBook Pro. During my past two years at Westerdals School of Communication, I've noticed that fellow students who opted for the MacBook have been less than impressed with its performance with larger print documents. That spinning beach-ball is a creativity killer. Nuh-uh. I wouldn’t. You will grow to know the limitations of a 13″ monitor all too well in this profession.
