You'll have problems with ATI Mobility cards. Not that I have them, I'm having problems with Intel x4500
![]() Better choose a notebook with NVidia card, and check the usual forums for confirmed "success stories" about the graphics. I've installed Snow Leopard on a desktop machine with i7, so that's working without any problems (Hazard distro). Also, there are no kexts for Intel 5100 WiFi.

Would it be better to get a MBP 17" instead?
