[QUOTE="Billbeme, post: 407013, member: 31962"] Dear Users, I am currently typing on a MacBook Intel with 1GB RAM and an 80GB hard drive. When I purchased the notebook I was of limited means, and although I wanted the Pro, I could only really afford the MacBook. I pushed off the Pro reassuring myself that I wouldn't need the independent graphics card which seems to be the major distinction between the two (true/false?) I am still not getting into film making, but instead photography. I was wondering if shooting very large raw images, if the independent graphics card is necessary, or if my moddes little "Mackie" with 1GB of RAM and incorporated graphics card will cut it? The catch? I am still on limited means so I was going to purchase a refurbished MacBook Pro after hearing that Apple has great, and trustworth refurbs (true/false?). I was going to go from my 2GHz 1GB MacBook to the Refurb Pro with 512MB RAM and a 1.83 GHz Intel Dual Core Processor. It was a downgrade for the sake of the g-card. I haven't made the move, becuase I don't know what is needed. My MacBook has been all I have ever needed and I hope it will continue to be even as I begin photography, unless I have reason to think otherwise? Thanks for the help gang! -Billbeme [/QUOTE]
