Mr. Murphy our adopted yellow lab has committed the ultimate sin. He killed my laptop. Check out the Qik post - Glad I can still post video from my iPhone thanks to Qik.
That sucks. Wait til there are kids in the equation. My 2 yo son is worse than any dog when it comes to danger on the computer. He got to my Macbook while it was on the table, pounded some keys and we had to take it to a Genius to help work out some of the weirdness.
The good thing with Mac is you can have the best of both worlds with BootCamp or virtualization. I have even played low end 3D games on Fusion and it runs great. For HD it is more cpu than gpu so you could do fine on the Macbook. But I suggest at least a 7200 rpm drive, much nicer experience. The Pro has the option to build it with one. Plus it has the dedicated graphics for the the 3d niftyness.
It looks like the updates are coming soon if you can wait, macrumors.com has a spot on buyers guide that references the rev cycle.
And if you love the deal, the refurbished mac off apple.com are incredible deals and will have the current gen for $500 bucks off. These are demo machines that have never been used, they were usually displays. Bought my last 2 this way and have been great.
Tim thanks a lot. Agree - Murphy has been our test case to see if we’ll be ready when our daughter pops out and onto the scene.
I guess we can’t put her in a crate when we leave the house.
Thanks for the link to the updates at macrumors. Perhaps I’ll bide my time and suffer through using my old tower PC while I do some research on what I need.
Didn’t think about refurb, that may be just what the doctor ordered, that is unless their dog or child has had their way with it before Apple refurbed it. Bad mojo, bad bad mojo.
