Hi folks,
I currently run a 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch,500GB 5400rpm HDD,8GB Ram and 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo.
I use FCP7 for editing and correction,Apple color for grading.
My Macbook is worth around £650 on ebay and I am thinking of selling it on and putting in the difference for a new one I can run Mavericks on.The main limiting factor on my macbook is the Nvidia Geforce 320, 256mb video card which can't be upgraded,it just slows things down and won't even run resolve.
I am confused as to which direction to go, I notice the Imacs are much cheaper for a better spec,I could get a 21.5 inch Imac for less than a 13 inch MBP like the one I have now which I feel lacks real estate. However I am currently in pre on a road trip documentary and have several more in the pipeline,obviously I can't take an Imac on the road with me and I can take a macbook which at the moment is pushing me back towards the MBP. I have even had a look into mac minis but I don't know too much about them?
If anybody has advice that would be great.
Cheers.
