Bigger is better.
If you run out of disk space (maybe you suddenly get a camcorder and start editing and storing videos) then upgrading means getting a new hard drive, copying all your information over and then ditching the old one.
In the PC world this is a major pain for a laptop. I do not see why it would be different for a Mac.

Get the 40GB hard drive (go even bigger if you can). Everything from your operating system to security products require storage space.
However, the biggest consideration is RAM. If you play a lot of games, the more RAM the better. Depending on your operating system try and get minimum 1GB RAM. 2GB RAM would even be better.

get the 60 or better yet the 80 [but its way expensive], getting a 40 now will disappoint you in the future.
it will meet all your needs but dont expect to play games a lot, they probably wont run on the mac [unless youre into Text Twist or Hangaroo or Minesweeper] and you would probably have to use Bootcamp to run windows to run the games.
