Nobody mentioned the Logic question - it would run ok depending on how many tracks/effects you were using. A couple of tracks with little/no effects would be ok - the more you add, the more it's going to be an issue.

I don't think people know the answer, My advice? Book some time with a Genius at an Apple store and get to try out Logic.

Although according to this you should be OK:

Minimum requirements to install all applications
Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4 processor (PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor highly recommended)
1GB of RAM (2GB or more highly recommended)
Display with 1024-by-768 resolution (1280-by-800 or higher recommended)
Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
QuickTime 7.2 or later
DVD drive for installation
PCI Express, ExpressCard/34, USB, or FireWire based audio interface recommended
Additional recommendations for Logic Pro
At least 2GB of RAM for large EXS instruments
USB musical keyboard (or suitable MIDI keyboard and interface) for instruments
Logic Node requires a Mac computer with a PowerPC G5, Intel Core, or Intel Xeon processor and Gigabit Ethernet

Additional recommendations for MainStage
At least 2GB of RAM for large EXS instruments
USB musical keyboard, control surface, or guitar pedal board (or suitable MIDI control device and interface)
Standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac with Intel Core Duo, Power Mac G5, or iMac G5
Surround requirements for Logic Pro and Soundtrack Pro
Mac computer with dual PowerPC G5 processors or an Intel Core Duo or Xeon processor
Multichannel audio interface
Available disk space
7GB to install all applications and required content
Additional 39GB to install all optional content (large content packages can be installed on separate disk):
10GB for Jam Pack collections

17" MacBook Pro pics

Heres some pics of the 17. If there's some pics you want taking let me know.

It's a lovely looking beast, and beast is the right word - Just slightly too large for me. I've ordered my 15" MBP today, can't wait!

The keyboard looks too small.

I agree with it being a little too large but then I find the 15" MBP too large as well (my brother has one)

If only they made a 13" one! The 13" MacBook form factor is what fits me best.

Still those pictures are pure Apple porn.

Saw the 17" MBP in the Apple Store yesterday, it's every bit as good as those pictures suggest. If only it wouldn't tear out my heart at the current price it would be something to consider.
