Hello all.
I am thinking of downgrading my current macbook pro to a regular black macbook (and yes, you wonder about the price difference. Well, through my school I have the chance to get a current gen 2.2 SR black macbook for only 1100 so I think this is a good time, as I can get it for the same price at the midline white one right now... color isn't a huge thing for me, but I like the black better, so why not )
Anyway... I am in the spot where I need to use some 3d modeling programs via bootcamp or vmware fusion. I want to know if ANYONE has any experience with this, and if it is ok despite the integrated graphics of the macbook.
I was waiting to see if there was going to be a macbook pro 13inch released, and instead got the macbook air, which is... basically useless to me. Sooooo...
Does anyone have any experience at all with 3d model rendering programs on the macbook? I've heard a few people on different forums say it's ok, but i want a broader range of experience. It doesn't require intensive graphics card stuff, as I'm not doing any animation or anything, but who knows.
I'm planning on downgrading for the nice 600+ chunk of change difference that as poor college student with car problems would very much benefit from.
thanks in advance.
