Graphical Based Applications On Apple Notebooks

[Benedictus-x]

I am a PC user, just saved enough money for a MacBook/Pro. Up until recently I was dead set for MBP BUT I read (and Saw) too many things about yellow tints in screens etc.
Enough of that, my main question is what is the GMA 950 like for Things Like Aperture, Photoshop and Fireworks? I'll install 2Gb RAM when/if I get my macbook

Thanks In Advance,
Benn

of those three only Aperture will be drawing on the "GPU" if you can say that it even has one. but anywho, i know that Photoshop and Fireworks would run fine. i'm not sure about Aperture and its requirements and such on a Macbook though.

hmm and maybe now instead of aperture it could be lightroom, would that be the same?

There have been a number of reports related to Aperture on the Macbook... generally, they're actually not too bad:
