Otherwise I think they are very similar. Under OS X, MacBook graphics feels good enough for general work. Blender runs decently. I would imagine that Shake would work decently. I guess FCP and After Effects would probably suffer. We already know that Motion suffers a lot. I'd rather deal with Intel 950 graphics than Radeon X1xx0 or Nvidia on a laptop. My idea laptop for linux would be dual core 64bit, and use Mobility Radeon x300, but nobody seems to use that for the newer CPUs. When Nouveau is usable, things might change.
