I would rather pay the extra and get a MacBook Pro....At least it comes with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

I'm tempted to purchase the 2.0 ghz Macbook and maybe throw in an extra 512 worth of RAM (Bringing it to about 1 gig)..... Now, will it be fast enough to run Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro smoothly?? I want to use it for some small video editing on the go, while my main PC can be used for the heavier stuff......
Anyone?? |

FYI, there's no Mac version of Premier (latest releases). You have to be contented with Final Cut HD Pro. Im pretty sure the 2GHz Macbook should serve well as a "Mobile & 2nd" workstation. Maybe just on to go rendering to show client on the spot changes. I will not suggest anyone to do full lenght HD content on a laptop. Not to say this is just a macbook. And pls, pusht the RAM to 1GB stick if u planning to do video.

Bump the RAM to at least 1.5GB and then it should be okay. The MacBook should do a good job on this

Well, my main PC is STILL a Windows XP machine....... and planning to switch soon.....
So will probably use the MacBook as my Uni Laptop to do work on. Only thing was dissapointed to see such a low end graphics card inside..... BTW...... is there any way I can buy compatible MacBook RAM in Low Yat instead of spending even MORE cash at an Apple Center?? |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jun 17 2006, 02:54 AM) Well, my main PC is STILL a Windows XP machine....... and planning to switch soon..... It's not even a graphics card per se, but yeah, i'd say go for it. And bump the RAM up to 2GB if you can. It makes a big difference.So will probably use the MacBook as my Uni Laptop to do work on. Only thing was dissapointed to see such a low end graphics card inside..... BTW...... is there any way I can buy compatible MacBook RAM in Low Yat instead of spending even MORE cash at an Apple Center?? Yes you can buy the RAMs and install 'em yourself. Check out compatible RAM HERE. |
