A note on performance. Because of the time difference between when we tested these two machines, some of the scores above are estimates based on adjusted, original data.
In processing power the MacBook Pro should be slightly ahead of your current set up. Apple's professional applications may not be tuned yet to take advantage of the new Intel processor though. This should happen shortly. The hard drive will be slightly slower on the MacBook Pro ... but I am afraid that is true of most portables when put up against a comparabl

I have a G5 dual 1.8 Ghz tower and I'd like to see how it compares to a MacBook Pro 2.0 Ghz dual core MA464LL.
I do a lot of video work using Apple Pro apps - Final Cut Pro, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, as well as audio recording and editing. I'm considering replacing the G5 with the MacBook and using it with my 23" Apple monitor at home, and dumping my aging PowerBook, which won't even run Prop Apps, when on the road.
