the machine is custom 2gz zeon 4g Ram......havent actually got in hand but believe it's the first one (because 2gz) I believe I got a good deal at £690 however the problem is using 64 bitSnow Leop..I have been told it will not run 64 bit natively only 32 bit...my concern is that all future updates and apps from mac will no doubt be made for native 64...some have said it's not an issue, but my friend (mac buff) says 'they can think that if they want' (sarcasm implied)...as I am running powerbook g4 ppc at the moment I am sure it will be a huge improvement, however I would like some opinions on whether it might be better to spend a little more and get a core2 laptop, or similiar, or if this really is a good deal, and I will be happy for a couple years...would be glad of any and all feedback RE price, Pro '06 vis a vis a newer laptop and other suggestions, hints or jokes at my expense!
I just want to get some opinions here before taking plunge..drawbacks for me 1)I don't like the idea of not being able to update the OS (assuming its 64 native) 2) dont like the fact it doesnt run 64 bit natively...plus side 1) It will be a major upgrade for me, as am using g4 ppc and can run Snow L 2)I can afford it (just).. can I pick some minds re price and how long its likely to last? I mostly use my mac for video and music..what exactly will I need to watch HD video? am wavering whether to milk my g4 until I can save enough, or take the plunge and start saving again...some of you have helped already, I just need more opinions!
