[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1316459, member: 17931"] Buy the latest machine. The quad core i5 SandyBridge processors are faster than all but the fastest i7 processors of the prior generation. I don't know how well OSX takes advantage of the power and options, but just from a raw power standpoint they are faster. IvyBridge may not be that much faster as it is more of a manufacturing process change. Something about a Tick Tock lifecycle. One cycle improves the architecture, the other improves the manufacturing/form. I don't quite get the nuances myself. [/QUOTE]
