sMaX Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I 'm seriously thinking about buying a macbookpro. I 'd rather have a desktop, but I don't like the iMac 's because of their laptop-layout but without portability. (mac mini is not powerfull enough) And the Mac pro is to expensive for me. A hackintosh is another possibility but I now -finally- just want something that works. And I 'm totally fed up with windows so osX86 should then work flawlessly. So a mac book pro: are there new ones coming in april just like the macbook? I 'd buy the slowest one. Can I then add another 1gb ram to the 1gb that 's already inside? (buy that at crucial.com) Or will I have to replace the one already inside? Any advice is welcome!

You should also consider getting the Macbook @ 2ghz and adding 1gb of memory, the only difference between this and the pro model is the dedicated graphics. GMA950 is good enough for tiger and XP.

ufulu Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ALthough Tiger works flawlessly on my system I am just fed up with the loud fan and hence also want to get a macbookpro. I guess when Leopard comes out there will be new macbookpros aswell? Can anybody confirm that? and tell me when that will be? I'm tired of having earplugs in my ears all the time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41422-macbookpro-update-when/#findComment-296459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMaX Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 You should also consider getting the Macbook @ 2ghz and adding 1gb of memory, the only difference between this and the pro model is the dedicated graphics. GMA950 is good enough for tiger and XP. The macbook 's dedicated wont cut it. I 'm an editing student. So final cut, motion and shake will mostly be used. Motion uses the gpu to render some effects, so that's why I want that radeon. To bad you can't upgrade that to the 256MB version in the faster 15inch. But that one 's to expensive. They certainly won't update them in the first 2 months then?
