  I’m on a similar set-up with my iMac (2.66GHZ processor, 4GB ram) and Final Cut Studio runs very well.

  One thing to be aware of – if you plan to use Motion it requires a pretty decent graphics processor. It works OK for me – fine for most titles/lower thirds e.t.c. – but tends to lag a bit if I use any of the 3D tools.

  But you’ll be fine with your MacBook for all other video editing tasks. FCS is a great piece of kit so you’re in for a treat! 🙂
