I'm finally getting a new laptop. I'm currently on a Powerbook G4 and I'm ready to throw it out of a window.
I'm looking into getting a refurbished Macbook Pro and I'll be using it mainly for Graphic Design purposes.
I'm on a SUPER tight budget and what is going to determine whether or not I'll be eating Ramen for the next month is what processor I NEED (not want).
The refurb I'm looking at is currently 2.8Ghz DuoCore i7. It's around $250 more to get it with a 2.3Ghz Quad Core. I REALLY should not spend the extra money...but if it will give me several years more life I'll do it.
If it's only a year or two difference then I won't.
Can anyone advise what kind of difference I can expect?
