    I hate to tell you that a macbook pro might just be up your ally.

    We have it tech's here in washington state that use macbook pro's for fixing networks both windows and mac thanks to bootcamp..

    And it keep's getting better and better gaming is great with bootcamp as long as you use the windows drivers for your graphics card from the manufacturer they are really nice machines.

    The most major help full thing think about how many mac's you see with viruses and spyware and malware then look at windows and you can see really quick how mac can change your life.

    Yep you need a MBP. The MB would be fine if you weren't gaming and PSing

    If you are going to be doing the slightest bit of photo or video editing Get the Pro.

    I bought a MacBook and 4 month later sold it and got the MacBook Pro because I needed the dedicated video card.

    A dedicated video card is a must for video editing.
