btw, you still need windows. Hmm, why you need a mid-range mbp? go for the low end, Rm7499 version. mid-range version is just got higher vram (graphic card ram) and bigger hdd space
Considering a powerbook

QUOTE(joey70i @ Dec 19 2007, 05:20 PM) well, you just ask yourself this simple question. "Do you play games (those high end games If you don't, then just choose the lower end version. Save few thousand and use few hundred to max up the ram This post has been edited by allvin: Dec 19 2007, 05:43 PM |

QUOTE(3ric @ Dec 19 2007, 11:37 PM) yea.. here you go --> http://www.newtek.com/news/releases/08-01-06f.htmlBtw, it got both version (windows and mac) for quite a long time lo. The 3D application only for windows is 3Ds Max, and interior design application which is autocad. You still have to use windows for those applications |

QUOTE(joey70i @ Dec 21 2007, 09:02 AM) That's another conderation since I do play games and its one of the reason why I'm goin for MBP as the graphic card is quite good. I have got my console for games most of the time, its more towards when I am travelling. Well, if you serious in gaming, then you can choose the mid-range mbp. Btw, when in gaming, then you have to use windows (xp or vista, either way will do)I dont do heavy CGI but use mostly stuff like Vector Works (ie drawing prog). QUOTE(rx330 @ Dec 21 2007, 09:05 AM) |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 21 2007, 05:58 PM) @lilredridinghood, no offense, gal. There's a 0.6kg difference if I'm not mistaken. Between 1.8-1.9kg for the MB and 2.5kg for MBP - it does make a difference actually! *grins* Ah well.. nothing's perfect right? MB weight is more than 2kg (including battery of cos) and it is almost the same weight as MBP (15" punya). I own one MB and it is darn heavy i would say for 13.3" laptop. To be more specific, I went to apple site. Weight: 5.0 pounds (2.27 kg) - MB Weight: 5.4 pounds (2.45 kg) - MBP (15") Weight: 6.8 pounds (3.08 kg) - MBP (17") Hell yeah for the 17". and fugly looks too, especially the keyboard "thingy" |

QUOTE(3ric @ Dec 31 2007, 12:45 AM) Just one question... if i run photoshop and Illustrator in macbook 2.2ghz in same time will it be hang? no problem dude. As long as you got the huge ram. Btw, usually i open 3 apps in my macbook, DRW, PS and AI cos i doing web-design. My macbook ram is 1.5Gb. So it is just minimum. So far so good, no problem. But if you open a bigger file then you probably can only open either one of those programs. I plan to buy MBP but looking at the price in Aus is too expensive... I'll be using mostly Adobe programs with some 3D program for my Uni next year scared Macbook cannot support the workload... =/ Recommended is 2-3Gb ram. 2D applications need RAM, not the graphic card. 3D applications need graphic card as well. I have not test 3D applications in my macbook. I think no problem 1 la if the file size is not so big la. If you really into 3D animation or video editing, then mb is a no-no for you. Get macbook pro or mac pro QUOTE(ifer @ Dec 31 2007, 01:30 AM) i got my mbp mainly for photoshop only. i dont use illustrator wan. but i dont think you will have any problems with both softwares... 4GB RAM is the way to go This post has been edited by allvin: Dec 31 2007, 12:05 PM |

QUOTE(kwekeugene @ Dec 31 2007, 02:07 PM) allvin, yea i know that logic.. Let me explain to you this way. "John" drives a Merc S Class to work everyday. In fact, he only lives 3km away and barely travels. Why does he the S Class? He's no gonna need the more powerful engine. He is married too. Why not just a C class? Well, quite simply because he can afford it. Life like that... =) |
