[QUOTE="iggsta, post: 887459, member: 115048"] Ok, thanks for the advice everyone. I will need to use motion and compress, but if it's just a case of waiting a little longer for rendering I can deal with that. I just need it to run correctly and reasonably efficiently.. I can get a minimac for £928 with... # 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo # NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 320GB Serial ATA Drive # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) and a wireless keyboard/mouse Wouldn't that be better than £1029 for a macbook pro with... # 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo # NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R) I was advised in the mac shop that i shouldn't go for a macmini, and needed a macbook pro... but from what I can see I get more bang for my buck with the former? But I still don't understand why a macbook pro is preferable to a macmini with higher specs and a cheaper pricetag? [/QUOTE]
