Apple KB Article: Final Cut Studio not supported on MacBook

This should really come as a shock to no one, but Final Cut Studio is not supported on the MacBook. Does this mean you can't install Final Cut on a MacBook? No, the install won't stop you, however, the experience won't be all that great. Since the MacBook sports an integrated video processor, which Apple says, doesn't support floating processing performance will be 'degraded' on a MacBook.

Bottomline: if you're a video professional you should pony up the extra dough for a MacBook Pro.
