I'm considering switching to a Mac. I use my computer mostly for Web development (Ruby on Rails, PHP, Dreamweaver, Photoshop). I have a $1400 spending limit at CircuitCity, so the best mac I can get is the following:
Apple® 2.0GHz MacBook (MA700LL/A)
APL MA700LLA
• 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• Burn DVDs and CDs
• 13.3-inch widescreen
• Apple Remote
• 1GB of DDR2 memory
• Built-in iSight camera
From your experience, what are the limits with this mac? Like I said, I will mostly be doing developing and maybe a little photo/video editing for fun. Nothing serious as in making an awesome movie or anything will be done.
More specifically,...
does anyone have the 13.3-inch widescreen? I'm wondering if that is large enough? I will be using this notebook as my primary computer. Maybe I should go check it out at the circuit city store myself.
It seems like the 1 GB RAM will be sufficient for me (right?), considering I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1100 w/256 MB RAM right now.
I can get a Vista notebook for a little cheaper, with more RAM and a wider screen, but should I?
Thanks.
