I did a quick search to see if there is anybody in my situation but couldn't find anything.
Anyways, I have plans to get a new macbook ever since I broke my powerbook. If I do get a MBP, I will dip myself into quite a few games (Orange box, Spore, SC2). Having said that, the bad news is that I'm a poor college student and it turns out that I may not have the luxury.
What I want to know is do I need a pro regardless? Aside from your usual web surfing/email/etc, I will need it to for my assignments and projects. I'm a new computer science major and I'll be doing a whole lot of coding/programming (C++, javascript, etc) and I'll be teaching myself and using a lot of photoshop. That means I have to buy a drawing palette attachment on top of everything else.
This will become my main computer and the greedy troll inside me wants to best. I do enjoy video games but work unfortunately comes first. Maybe regular macbooks can handle games mentioned above?
Someone give me advice!
(On a side note, does anyone know any programs for C++ coding? I can't seem to find one for mac.)
