Hi everyone, New to the forum, but I have been a Mac owner for over a year. Currently running the 21.5 iMac. Great Machine.
It is time to get a new laptop, and this time I am going to buy a MacBook. I have a few questions and I am looking for some good advice in helping me choose the one I should get.
I will most likely go with the 13" or 15" for portability since I already have the 21.5" at home. I want to use the following programs on the laptop, and I want to make sure that I won't have any issues. I am looking for input as to what everyone thinks would be the bare minimums or even the best setups for me to run the following programs. Input with real experience would be greatly appreciated regarding how the system will run with these programs. Don't want the system to chug on huge HD video files and 12-15 MP pictures.
I want to use the following software:
- iMovie
- FCE4
- iPhoto
- Photoshop
- Lightroom 2
I also intend on using the Mac to run windows since my schooling is based on business with Information Technology minor. Since I will be using the windows programs with either bootcamp/parallels or I might even virtualize, is one setup better thatn another.
Thank you everyone!
