Who has an i7 15" MacBook Pro?
Damn forum search won’t let me search for just i7.
I’m about to pull the trigger on getting it, but I want some real world usage results. Better than i5 but by how much? Is it worth the premium?
Whatever…I hate threads like this too. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Had an i7 for the last month or two. Absolutely love it. Performance wise and battery wise it’s amazing.
My baby.
Haven’t had any experience with the i5 though.. so can’t give you any comparable reference.
I’ve got one, and it is a machine of extreme power. The difference between i7 and i5 is slight in normal usage, more visible in high-stress environments, such as videogames, rendering for things, possibly traktor, I’ve never tried to dj on an i5. I think you’d be fine either way, honestly. I got the i7 cause I do video work on my computer.
+1, I have one and would recommend it especially if you can get a student discount.
I don’t have one. Buy me one and I’ll tell you what’s it’s like.
Bring Some Turkey, turkey boy.
That’s naughty.
Keep in mind the issues there are with the USB controllers on these macbook pro’s. Some controllers like the Xone 1D don’t work properly on it. Other than that, i5 is much more than adequate for Traktor or any other DJ software.
I want one now
salivates
feels ashamed as knows there is nothing wrong with my current macbook performance wise
looks at it’s old style aluminum casing
tear rolls down cheek
I’ve got the core i7 15"
To put it into perspective, a video that was taking 3 hours to render and then eventually crashing on my housemates 2 yo core duo macbook pro 15, took 35 minutes on mine without breaking too much of a sweat.
I can run Left 4 Dead 2 on full settings and with very minimal lag.
Logic can run about 20-30 tracks depending on what you put on them.
I’ve run very large ableton live projects.
it’s good. and if you think in terms of upgradability…
A few years down the line, 64 bit software is the norm, smash 8gb of RAM in there and an SSD and you’ve basically got a new computer!
Does that mean ‘audio tracks’. Just wondering. Getting my head around Logic, i wont be doing anything that demanding but its good to have bench marks of what can be expected.
I am in the same position, and I read AnandTech Forums: Technology, Hardware, Software, and Deals
just remember both might melt your balls and make you sterile
How nice and cheap would it be if we could run OSX on all these $600 pc i5’s?
This week or next week I’m going to Hackint0sh my T60.
tl;dr
3 year old hardware from IBM still > MPB
Thanks for your responses. Apparently I always have to buy new stuff that I get for Karlos and TeLLy. It’s the norm for me. But hey, that’s what friends are for!
Yadda yadda wheres my i7..?
I brought it to the royal wedding as a gift. You didn’t get it?
I know how you feel…
I have no issues at all… but I cant get it out of my head to get the latest macbook pro and a xone db4
Dont get started on that f*cking thing…
I tell you the WHOLE nation went “oh fuck no” when that got announced.
Ruins TV. Its all there is.
I dont know one person that cares at all that these idiots are getting married.
Everyone is feeling the economic pinch and the last thing we need is the inbred wasters chuffing money up their arses on a huge bloody wedding for a marriage that will end up in either divorce or death or both.
WHO_GIVES_A_FUCK
Lol…<3 you and that response
It’s how I feel about celebrity BS
Hate the Royal Family.
I know its an obvious thing to say but, really proper hate towards them.
You know Prince Charles has a personal assistant that puts his tooth paste on his toothbrush for him and holds for him until he is ready to use it when hes having a wash in the morning.
People say they bring a lot of money through tourism etc (mainly with Japanese and American tourists). I dont care. Id rather the country was worse off financially than to have to watch these fools poncing around.
They have no idea just how people really feel about them.
Utter Dirt.
Meh… Who cares. I’m a Mac->PC convert recently and my Hp DV6 with the i5 and Windows 7 leaves me wondering why I ever paid the high ticket price on a Mac
