Hey Everyone, This is my first post on here so hopefully this thread is in the right section..
I'm planning on switching over within the next few weeks and want to get the computer that best fits what I'm going to do with it. I've had a crappy dell insperion for about the last 4 years which has been a worldwind of issues so I haven't been able to do much with it. Anyway I'm planning on getting a 15 inch Macbook Pro which will be mainly for leisure and photo editing (Using Photoshop CS4 most likely). I also have wanted to dabble with Digital Audio programs like Ableton for a long time but haven't been able to with my current compter situation. Since I plan on having this computer for a while I'd like to leave myself plenty of room for growth without going completely overboard. (I'm working with a budget that tops off around 2 grand, though spending less is always welcome haha)
I really don't know much about hardware so i'm wondering which processor I should be looking at and if there are any upgrades I should explore in order to make it best suit my needs
Also, I assume a refurb will be the same quality as a new one?
Any other advice about the computer, the best place to buy it is, etc. is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Steve
