This is my FIRST post on macrumors, although im a long time reader.
Anyway, i own a mac mini the current low end version no upgrades just as is. It has served me well for quite a while now, but the hard drive space as well as the speed of the CPU, the amount of RAM, and the lack of a dedicated video card are stating to get to me (i must apologize for the horrible grammar in that sentence) . I feel i need more power, and the mobility would be great, not having to be tethered to a desk would be a dream to me (if you can't tell i have never owned a laptop...).
Now enough of my life story... I'm in the market for a MacBook Pro, and am concerned about the eventual upgrade (did you just loose all interest?). My concern is that the upgrade will bring about significant performance increases, that would cause me to "kick" myself over.
Now for some more important info.
Uses:
Every day tasks
Creative tasks (CS3,
ProTools, etc)
Wouldn't mind playing a game or two through boot camp
Im going to be purchasing the mid-range MBP, and i will be able to purchase it by the end of july.
My questions to you:
1) worth waiting for upgrade (mac mini is killing me
)
2) Your opinions of the MBP
3) do you want to kill me for asking an upgrade question
Thank you for your replies, and i apologize for the length of this post...
