I have a 2.16ghz MBP, Intel Core Duo, 2 gigs ram, x1600 256mb. I rarely use it on my lap and mainly have it is a desktop. Even as a student, I can't remember one time I have taken it to class or absolutely needed a laptop.
That said I am looking to get into a desktop.
I can't afford a new Mac Pro.
I will be using CS3 fairly regularly in the near future, mostly Indesign.
I got a trade offer for a Powermac g5, here are the specs
Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors
4.5 GB of RAM (6 of 8 DIMM slots filled)
ATI Radeon 9650 video card - 256 MB of VRAM, dual DVI output (Apple BTO
option)
250 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
SuperDrive
Airport Extreme wireless card (w/ OE external antenna)
Internal 56K modem
Apple keyboard & mouse
DVI to VGA adapter
OE OS X (10.3) restore DVD
any thoughts? I have leopard and all my own software to dump on it.
