Eys, I'm looking at getting this here laptop.
I'll be using Resolume with Ableton 6 (It's minimum system requirements are 600MHz CPU
512MB RAM).
My main concern is that the 5400RPM hard drive wont be able to handle the two programs simultaneously. Although Ableton doesn't have the highest system requirements experience has taught me how easy it is to overtax a computer once you have enough synths and effects running.
From reading this thread it seems that Resolume can work just fine on a 5400 hard drive but what with the laptop having to access samples and suchlike as well would it be necessary to buy a faster external drive to store the clips on?

dedicated graphics ram is what you need for Res 3, also bear in mind that at the moment there is no official solution for getting video out of the latest releases of Mac's ( apple are stopping the dongle for svideo/comp ) you may well be better off getting one of the previous generation, maybe even a refurb model from apple?
