I want a new mac. I currently have a 2.16 Core duo 2 macbookpro and a dell 20in monitor.
I use garageband, although the internal hard drive is not fast enough for multitrack recording, and I like to game. Very interested in getting into some windows gaming and some World of warcraft.
I am very impressed by the new mbp's graphics power and the ability to get a 7200rpm harddrive. If I could get $900 for my current machine, cost would be around $1200 or so.
However, the quad core 2.8 mac pro refurb is only $1999 on the apple store right now and the 3.06 Imac with 8800GS is only $1799. Since I already have an eee pc to log around the house for basic web browsing and email, portability of my mac is not essential, I don't use it for work either.
Anyone else find themselves in a similar boat?
