Used and love macs, but never owned. Should I?

I really want to buy the Macbook Pro (the new ones). Well, its more i really want a mac, and notebooks suit me better, and the pro seems so much better. Should I go for the Macbook, the Macbook pro or wait for something better?
Also, which one out of the three different macbooks do you think should i go for?

TOPICS: Mac OS X

hiya, I have the 2.16ghz

hiya,

I have the 2.16ghz macbook, I have found it to be a great machine, the only time there has been a problem with graphics is when running (or trying to run) games.

I run fireworks and photoshop and the like (also a web designer) day in day out with no problems. Photoshop is CPU intensive and i don't think it even uses the GPU for anything!

The newer macbooks also the capacity for 4gb of RAM, i can see that making a big difference as mine is topped out at 2gb.

Hope that helps.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
