  |
|
So my parents are willing to get me a computer for my birthday (because I've been oh so good this year and partially because they forgot I was born for the last two years), and so I decided on getting a Macbook of some sort. Now I know there are some resident Macheads here and I was wondering whether now is the time to get one or if there's some impending new Macbook HD Ultra version coming out soon that I should diligently wait for.
Also, I'm looking into advice for which kinds or where there's good deals on getting Macs of these sorts. I was planning on just ordering one from the website, probably a Macbook Pro. Anyone have any good knowledge on these sort of things?
Thread relevant to Thatbox.

That 17 inch is another $800 though.
I could eat for a few months with that kind of money...
So I'm thinking about settling on the 15 inch 2.33 GHZ model. Is this a good idea? Will this be GOOOOOOOOOOD??
Oh wait, with the student discount, the 17 inch version becomes $2600. That's not as bad as $2800 but still...

Hmm, since I'm not really dying to get one I suppose I could wait a few months. June, you say? That's quite a while though.
Let's use this thread to talk about Macs and your favorite applications then, I suppose. (Even though this has been done at least three times before, as I recall.)

Doesn't anybody buy desktops any more?
Man. |
After realizing I don't spend any time at all in my room except to sleep, it's much more useful to have a computer I can carry around and do things with anywhere than to have a clunky desktop on my desk. Also, I'm really paranoid about my belongings so I'm not too concerned about having it stolen.
It also helps that I don't play computer games at all - the last one I played was PSO Blue Burst a few months ago and that was only one or two times. I usually end up just reading manga, using Photoshop/After Effects, and Maya. Still, I'm aiming towards the Pro model because I'd like to play the new PSU expansion and could use that extra processing power when compiling animation together.

Thanks to Thatbox for telling me:
Apparently there is a new Macbook out now!

Huzzah! Now to decide on 15' or 17'.

So someone tell me the difference between a matte screen and a glossy one.
I recall Tim saying that the glossy one was really nice and shiny or something to that point. Is this true? Is there a major difference? Which should I go for if I'll primarily use the computer for art and design type things where color accuracy is really important?
