I spend most of my time on a desktop so I am not looking for some top of the line piece of equipment but I want something new. I pretty much am looking for the same specs druff was but I am looking to jew it up and go cheap
-looking for 17.3 inch screen
-stereo mix
- decent memory etc so I can play poker lag free
-decent battery life
might go with something used if it is good. How much is a good macbook as well new and used?
For the money used macbook pro will win hands down against anything any retard will post in this thread made by lenovo or some other shit manufacturer.
You want 2011-2012 mac pro do not go older, try to find one that has been upgraded so you end up with like 4gigs RAM and an I7 and you will be very happy. Battery life is second to none (8 hours per charge and it charges in about an hour) and you can easily dual boot windows and mac mountain lion (I can give you step by step directions takes less than 20 minutes to set up and works flawlessly) you never have to worry about viruses or trojans and do not even have to run anti-virus software.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/sys/3497118382.html that's a great example of what you are looking for, though I wouldn't pay more than $1200 for it. If you can get those specs for $1200 (upgraded hard drive and RAM with an I7 etc) JUMP on it. Being so close to christmas hunt around and you will find one maybe $900 if you're real lucky. Also if you go to look at one call me and I will go through what you need to look for to make sure you don't get ripped off (which I doubt would happen but it's always a possibility)
You will not be happier than as a new macbook pro owner believe me. You will never throw the thing at a wall when you get mad it will literally make you smile every time you look at it regardless of what's going on at the time I promise.
