Which Macbook for J2EE development.
I'll be running Eclispse IDE with JBoss + Tomcat for running local Junit tests. I want a Mac because I prefer to do my Java development on Unix and OS X gives me the best balance between OS stability and a nice, solid desktop environment. Also, all my computers at home are Macs and I want to be able to use iChat from the office to chat to my son before he goes to bed when I'm working late.
This laptop particularly needs to be able to connect to an external screen and run in dual screen mode (very handy for running Eclipse). Will the little 13" MacBook do this, or do I absolutely need a MacBook Pro? If so, will the bottom end MacBook Pro suffice?
