Shoot, edit videos for different clients and do the occasional storyboard.

Right now I'm working on a recruitment video for local police and a promotional video for a local restaraunt.

Well, in regards to video, Final Cut is THE standard and it's only available for mac.

Photoshop and Illustrator are the same thing on pc and mac but I find it's a smoother experience on mac. So if you're in graphics it's not integral to own a mac because you can put files on disc and transfer over to mac with ease.

You could work from home and at work without owning the same type of computer.

With video you don't exactly have such a luxury.

What kind? A 13' mbp isn't enough for gaming, as far as I know. 15' and 17' are decent though. Or are you getting an imac?

Bildi · « **Reply #23 on:** October 15, 2010, 01:52:05 AM »

I'm getting a refurb 13" MBP in the next month or two.

Apple refurb store

chronovore · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2010, 05:52:11 AM »

The PowerBook I'm currently using was through an Apple-company-discount refurb program and OH, HAS IT SUCKED.

It's the only Mac I've had which has tested the "Windows feed on hate, Macs run on love" theory which has been my mantra since owning my first Mac SE/30 in college. This 17" PowerBook G4 showed up loose in the box, meaning no packing materials during shipping, it had the wrong restore discs packed in and, the piece de resistance, the outlet-to-adapter cable was missing.

Because it was not packed right during shipping, the PB had probably been damaged before it ever arrived. It experienced a range of problems which required it to be taken back to the Apple store a number of times. If I'd properly documented the problems, I probably could have negotiated for a new replacement. But looking back, I should have refused receipt of the computer the moment it arrived. What a trainwreck. But as trainwrecks go, it's still running four (five?) years later. Kinda.

My point is (and I do have one) if you get a refurb and it is IN ANY WAY discernibly different from a new item, refuse it and ask for another. Seriously.

Why do you think that? I doubt it. I think they'll reveal details about OSX 10.7 though

Royally fucked my Powermac g4 a little while ago so I'm going to gut it and refit it with new hardware and make my first Hackintosh

G4's had such amazing cases (nice design, built like brick shithouses).

Hopefully I can get those multitouch trackpads to work with it too.

I'm a web developer and it's basically a requirement I use Unix, Linux or OSX (Windows + Ruby on Rails =

:'(

) and since I ponied up for a new MBP I haven't looked back to the former. Using all the great proprietary apps with no probs + the power of unix (X11, open source repositories) = me being much more productive

sounds like 10.7 is trying to integrate a lot of the good stuff about iOS into OSX.

I'd take a mba + 10.7 over a iPad + iOS anyday.

Oh I see what you're getting at.
I play games on mine. Air is good as a laptop, but it would probably suck for games.
Gaming's not the main reason I chose a Mac though, clearly, but it was a good excuse for upping the specs

It uses the same graphics solution as the current 13" MBP. You'd probably get 720p and 30fps for stuff like MW2, which isn't bad for the form factor.

core i7 macbook is a rip. the "core i7" in it just a standard arrandale with a marginal cache and clock increase, and it runs a fair bit hotter. i woulda just went for the 2.4 or 2.53 core i5.
