I'm going to be buying a MacBook Pro soon but I'm worried I will be disappointed with the speed of the laptop.
I have:
Processor: 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory: 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
I'm a graphic designer and I use Photoshop everyday and my G5 has never disappointed me with excessively slow redraw on really large files. I don't really know enough about the technical stuff with regards to processor speed or bus speed or if the Macbook Pro laptops are just going to be slower than my tower.
What I would like advice on is which of the Pros is going to perform as fast as my G5 or would perform better?
I am looking to buy a refurbished one from Apple since I read somewhere on this forum that with the refurbished ones Apple has worked out the kinks and bugs in the system.
Thanks a bunch for any advice
