Hey, im going to get a new mac and was wondering what mac I should get out of the two. Im gonna be typing alot of essays. Light gaming(counter-strike scource) and maybe some final cut 4 editing. Could the MB handle these tasks? If I wan't to get the MBP im going to have to wait for a little bit. I need a computer but should i wait and get the pro? and will i need it?

I'd say if you can afford it - go for the base MBP (2.2GHz). It'll last a long time plus the dedicated GPU will suits your gaming need. You don't need to wait if you order from Amazon.
