[QUOTE="mac guy, post: 1200161, member: 119765"] Folks, Grateful for any advice for Mac purchase Have been offered a 2008 Mac Pro dual 2.8GHz(8 core) + 8GB RAM + 1TB HDD + 320 GB for USD1600 with the option to get the ACD for another USD260 My needs are simple: 1) Always wanted to own a Pro - longevity of the machine as well as the design 2) Internet, MS Office, Watching Video, ITunes - simple apps which will not tax the Pro at all-I know the Pro is overkill :D My debate is this: For the same amt or slightly more I could get a current model iMac, Macbook Pro with similar performance(have used the Everymac Comparator). My question is which is a better option: a) used Mac Pro or b) Current Mac Apologies if this is another one of those 'which one is better....' thread but I have searched various forums but I kinda got mixed messages so I though I give it another try by posting my own Thanks for reading & yr views [/QUOTE]
