ok. ive got answered it in a mail. so i dont need reactions. only 1 thing, must i have a glossy top layer on my monitor for better colors or?

No you want the matte screen, it cuts down on reflections and I read numerous places that the glossy screens make the screen over saturated giving you a false color. I have the 15" Macbook pro and love it. As far as cost, the equivalent sony vaio is within $100 of the MBP. You wont be able to get a great color gamut from the notebook, and if your using for color sensitive projects I would recommend a good external monitor. (I have mine hooked up to a wireless keyboard/mouse and a 24"LCD..works great)

Hope this helps,
Adam

thanks allot Adam!
about that glossy layer i was thinking that too, thats why i asked about it.
well that $100 doesn't matter but thanks for the tip! OK. thanks i will buy one like that when i have the money for it, i have now a 20 inch LCD. of my normal 'home' pc computer and i have a 32 inch HDTV of JVC so that will works too! ( i read that on the apple site, that you also can use a tv.)

You can use a tv, but if your planning on doing any color correction I don't know how accurate an hdtv would be, might be better off with the 20" Lcd
