Open Question: Which Macbook Should I Get?

August 31st, 2008 um 7:23 Uhr • Web Design0 Kommentare

I'd really like to make the switch from a PC to the Mac for creative purposes. The things you can do on a mac are beyond what I could do on a PC. I'd really like to explore the world of photo-shop, video making, and podcasting(possibly). Okay, so long story short, I want a Mac! I'm not going to be making feature films or anything, so I don't really think I need a Macbook Pro. I'd like to spend as little money as possible and still have a quality machine. I am also thinking of buying a refurbished mac. They are exactly the same as a new mac, but without the fancy packaging! I would like to get the regular white macbook. I'm having trouble with which one to get, though. The: 1GB Memory, 120GB Hardrive Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) or the 2GB memory 160GB hard drive 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) Should I get the one with more ram and hardrive, as well as a "SuperDrive"? Could someone please explain to me what that is? I also have two computer-people in my family. My uncle is a huge mac-person, and he works in the website design industry and such. My other uncle is a PC-Repairman, but his wife has a Mac(Haha...), so he works with that, too. They are both familiar with Macs, so they could help me install more RAM if needed.. So, what do you think I should go for? I don't want to download a few things and have a full Mac. Also, I think I might use Bootcamp to download Windows XP so that I can run some of my favorite Computer Games that don't work on The Mac. Does that take up a lot of memory? Thanks for the help! Oops, I forgot to mention that the first Macbook has a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, and the second one has a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Just wanted to mention that! =]
