Hey everyone, I convinced my office after donig a keynote presentation on a mac mini to buy a mac.
I did it on a 800 dollar mac mini, my boss loved it.
However, I know to do realistic presentations it's probably ideal to buy a macbook (for portability sake, and get support of playing keynote on a projector while having notes on the laptop if the user wants it).
My boss wanted me to price the costs of the macbook, so she can figure out if it's worth the money or not.
Here's what I propose:
(if link works)
Subtotal $1,678.00
Estimated Ship:
3-5 business days
Free Shipping
* 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
* 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512
* 80GB Serial ATA drive
* SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)
* Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
* iWork '06 preinstalled
* AirPort Extreme Card & Bluetooth
Then add 80 bucks for Paralells, since the office has a couple "easy" programs as I call it, one is a piece of software that takes up 7 megs of RAM in windows, is entirely network-ran... the other is Office.
My question is, do you think 1 gig of RAM in the above setup worth the money? Paralells will run well correct? and when I do presentations there'll be no lag even when splitting the display between the laptop (preview mode) and projector?
Also do you think it's worth waiting for leopard?
thanks for your time.
