Well imma be transferring schools next fall. And i thought it would be good to buy a mac, the question is I Dont know which one.
Right now I have an insignia desktop and a dell laptop. And I wanna switch over to MAC. The macbook pro is 1,999 and the Mac is 1,499 -those are the prices because those would be the ones i would get. i dunno which one i should get, its hard. I mean i could take my macbook pro anywhere and i could just go to my school with that and that would be all i needed. Or i could buy a mac now and then maybe buy a macbook pro later, depending on the situation. keep in mind i am paying for this by myself. no parent help haha. Soo many decisions. |

QUOTE(Insurmountable @ Nov 30 2007, 03:05 PM)  ^I thought he was thinking of getting like a desktop mac or a macbook pro? Then I would say it depends on the desktop. The iMac has much better performance than the MacBook Pro. Jason (Liz's Boyfriend) has one, they're incredible. If he's willing to to sacrifice the mobility then I would suggest saving $500 and getting an iMac. Specifications:$1,868.00
With the macbook pro you get a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 128MB SDRAM. You can do just about everything but get your game on with maximum graphics. You can still game, but it won't be nearly as fun. Essentially, you're sacrificing power/money for mobility. You won't have as much HDD Space. You'll have a far less powerful but still capable video card. Your processor wont be as powerful. Your screen will be smaller with a lower resolution. You will have mobility this is a major plus. Like I said above, "if mobility isn't a big deal then you should go with the iMac." |
