Then on the other side of things my friend from work is going to go buy one of the new macbook pros that were just announced yesterday. Say what you want about them, but they are still *edited* nice computers. And here I am with my crappy dell vostro laptop and grrrrr i want new stuff I hate being poor!
He actually wants a Sandy Bridge Mac? And you didn’t tell him all the drawbacks to the CPU?
Bad, Mike. Bad.
And yeah, you’ll never need more than 8GB of ram, 9GB if you’ve got tri-channel. If the price difference was really $20 then yeah why not but I’ve got 8GB and the only time I ever come close is when I’m doing VM testing.
