Sorry, I missed the word probably. The iPhone screen is a bit small for text reading at a few feet away.
Dweeb circus or carnival or whatever you said, that seems a little harsh, no?
You obviously know I can't find you an 8-core 3.2GHz for $2000 so that comment wasn't needed either, was it?
I was throwning out suggestions because none of us have any sort of clue what sort of research you've done, especiallly when it seems like you didn't visit Apple's website before the link was posted.
My mistake though.
Edit: I suggested visiting the Apple store so you can test the machine. Photoshop and Illustrator were installed on the Mac when I tested it. If you use a common program, maybe it's already installed. Or maybe you can just mess with it so compare how it handles everyday situations compared to your dual 2.5GHz.
Bryphotoguy.....
I'm not attempting to disdain your advice or poke fun at you for any reason. I appreciate your suggestions as I do the others....
..but allow me the freedom to express myself without the fear of PC police retaliations and/or censorship. I'm not real keen on curbing my voice for the sake of the
possibility of offending
someone, whoever that might be.
RE: The Dweeb Carnival.
That is how I happen to perceive it, and I can be equally offended if someone sees it differently than I. BTW. I am probably old enough to be your father...just guessing, but it's probably true. I have been doing 3D work professionally for 30 years now, and computer work for the last 17. I have had a slew of Apple products, and in
every single case where I had problems or questions, they were less than helpful...which is why I'm posting HERE.
2. I DON'T know if you can find a 8-core 2ghz for 2 grand. A year ago, a friend of mine found a 17 inch MacBook Pro for $1,600....or about $1,100 off the retail..and this was on a legitimate website for a limited time....and so therefore, I reiterate....IF you see a 3.2ghz, 8-core Mac Pro for significantly less than 4 grand.......please post it...or rather notify me privately before the stock sells out. Thanks!
3. Research.
Well, you couldn't know what I have done or not done, I'll give you that, but I thought that my question was simple enough, and in fact asked for direction to reference material. Apples' site is huge, and quite difficult to navigate, in terms of finding information other than what is currently on sale. Even utilizing a 'search' function through the 'support' tab will lead one into a morass of archived articles that could take months to search through, unless one knows where to head to beforehand........and in addition, judging by some of the questions I see posted on this forum, there are more than a few people who are talking without thinking first.........
4. ....back to visiting the Apple store.....
...or the Dweeb Carnival, as I prefer to call it. That's a joke, BTW.
...the surprising thing about doing 3D work, is that even though files are not really all that huge, in comparison to a lot of Photoshop files I've worked with, the raw processing power that is required, goes far beyond what the typical 'graphic' file requires. Testing a huge Photoshop file at the Apple store is really an exercise in vanity in terms of the data one might aquire towards understanding how the machine might operate in a 3D environment.
The best input I am going to get ( I think ) is from the Sanity 1082 link.
..and let me thank you once again, Sanity1082, for being succinct.
