Not too bad for a laptop I got for free.
I'm planning on upgrading to a Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200RPM hard disk when I find one that comes up for cheap.

You J-Spec are you using an external monitor?

You should be for business on even an MBP. SCreen is bettter on the Pro but not quite as good as an external. Your money may be better spent on just a nice monitor.

Assuming processing power isn't too big of an issue considering you're computer is fairly new.

well my monitor is calibrated, and i dont need to see much more detail than i already do, so it works for me as is for now.... i just want a second computer for business and it might as well be a pro..... processing power isnt an issue tho, 90% of the time i have the internet open while batch processing images in photoshop while going through other images in finder, and it never even really slows down....
