[QUOTE="MikeIsGood, post: 1084908, member: 51309"] To start, here's another thread about new vs. refurb you can check out: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/208632-refurbished-new.html[/url] As for what options you should get, it's kind of something that you would know best. I'm not familiar with Maya, but if it's graphic-intensive of course you'll want to maximize your memory and processor. The top-of-the-line model comes with an i5 that can be upped to an i7, 4gigs standard memory, but perhaps most notably for you it has an upgraded GPU. You're paying for it, though; the new ones start at $2k, though there is currently a refurb available for $300 cheaper. Do you need all of that? That's something you, or another Maya user if there is one here, would know best. I can see the minimum requirements for the program on their website, but of course that doesn't say much about it's performance. [/QUOTE]
