Any Mac that can run Lion should be good. I would get a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro. A MacBook Air would be good if you can deal with the screen size.

Im using an older macbook, and it still runs fine, so I would go with whatever works best for you. think about whether you want mobility or processing power. the amaller the computer the less capasity it has, so if yiu want it to run faster go bigger, but if you are on the move a lot, and need efficient space management go smaller.

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro its specs are lower than my wife's 2011 air and my MBP does just fine with GS. It will lag a little with Photoshop and big resource hogs like that unless you have a SSD installed though.

Airs run GameSalad great partial due to the ssd that is standard. I would go for the 13" minimum though. The small air to small for GS IMO I have used GS on a netbook before and it is brutal for the small screen size

I'm using MacBook Pro MC700 with 16 gb or ram. And I'm not satisfied with the workflow in Game Salad, when a project isn't small. Perhaps SSD could solve the problem, but I'm not sure.
