I've decided my macbook isn't cutting it for what I want to do.
I've learned that I can get some badd@$$ software at school for 3D rendering and the such. A 950 won't cut it anymore once I reach that point.
Here's my master plan.
In a year's time or so, I'll sell my Macbook with it's 2 gigs of ram. I hope
to get about 700 to 800 for it.
Either by trade+cash or selling-and-cash, I would want to purchase a Mac Pro, lowest end model available. But not the newest model that's sure to have been released by then. It would probably be the current model.
So, do you think a lower end Mac Pro will go for 1500 this time next year?
A man can dream can't he?
Thanks for any advice!
(One last note: though I might end up needing some kind of portable comp, I would try to get a cheapie PC laptop for about 200 and install Linux on it.)
