What mac laptop should I get if I'm mainly running Adobe Creative Suite Design?

I need to buy a laptop for college and I'm going to be studying graphic design, so obviously I'm getting a mac. But other than that, I'm pretty clueless as to what specific laptop I should get. I'm not exactly rolling in dough, so I'm looking for a computer that can comfortably handle Adobe Creative Suite that won't kill my bank account.

1. just get the regular Macbook, it's cheaper than the cheapest Macbook Pro, and the specs are a little better.
2. the mac mini pro or the mac pro
3. A Mac Book Pro will be good for the length of your staying at college. And it can handle all of your graphic tasks easily due to its outstanding video graphic card. And take into account that you can get up to 15% discount when you present your student ID. Good luck with you Mac Book Pro!
4. Do not fall into the trap thinking that graphics design = Mac. That is not correct. Just because you are studying graphics design means you automatically have to use a Mac. I'm a graphics designer as well and I handle all my work on a DELL. Mac does not offer you much bang for your dollar right now. Mac laps top are all currently using outdated technology. Go to Apple store, and you'll see for yourself. Macbook or Macbook Pros are all running Core 2 Duo processor. That is an outdated technology. For 2000 dollars you get a crappy 15 inch Macbook Pro with 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo. That is an absolute RIP OFF! Go to Dell.com instead and look at a studio 17 laptop. For just $1,014.0, you can buy an i5 Laptop with the same amount of RAM. Not to mention it has a 17.3 inch screen. i5 is pretty good, but i7 is even better. They are both more efficient and runs even better than the out dated Core 2 Duo. The Dell laptop will run even faster than your average Macbook Pro. You can also consider a studio 15 lap top. $1,049.00, you can customize it to have i71.6GHz. That's a FOUR core laptop. It utilizes the latest technology and will last you much longer than an average Macbook Pro. You will be able to run CS4 and even CS5 with absolute ease. Don't fall into the Mac trap. When it comes to the better deal, get a DELL. Macs will rip you off without giving you as much power.
