- Powerbook G4, 1.5G, 10.5
I will be using CS3, After Effects, Final Cut and various animation software. I love my PowerBook G4, but I know I am going to have to upgrade to not spend hours rendering. I would like to spend 2500 or less and am not scared of installing Ram. (I upgraded my hard drive in my PowerBook myself....)
I can't decide between the Mac Pro or iMac. There are deals out there for refurbed 2.66 Pros and displays, but the 2.8 iMac with the 750G drive almost seems like a better bang for your buck unless you consider the upgrade capabilities of the Pro. Or do you suggest running programs off an external hard drive with the 350G iMac. I also am concerned about listed issues with the iMac's screen....
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
