MacBook Pro 2012 (early): I had an audio interface that used FireWire that I wanted to keep using. This was my only option. Also this was the real start of dongle-based computing and I didn't trust the new MacBook. This machine has graphic chip based panics, the cable that connects to the HD failed once, the Logicboard is fucked up and thinks the RAM isn't seated because (apparently) if you pick up the laptop on the sides too much, the case flexes and damages the thing. All this machine does now is refuse to turn on. It just beeps. If reseat the RAM it might work again for like 20 mins.
Welcome back, btw.
We've been using Macbooks for work for the last two jobs I've had. Maybe 4 years or so. Or 5. I wish Windows had a native Unix command line terminal. There's cygwin, of course, but... well.
Windows 7 with a Unix terminal would be pretty nice for me.
I can't recommend the kind of PC you are looking for as I just build mine and they are giant desktop systems and video cards are so expensive that your route makes the most sense. Good luck, old friend. Please tell us what you decided on. |
