why don't you buy a desktop.  You can get so much more for the same price as a laptop.

The difference is night and day editing on a machine with built in graphics vs a dedicated card. In this kids budget he could get a win7 laptop that performs way better than apples 13" line, which is what he wants.
The 13" MBP is not "pro" its just a Macbook with backlit keys and a sexy exterior. The Pro line is 15" and 17"
