That thing is nowhere near "a beast." A quad-core i7 with 4G of RAM is nothing nowadays in a laptop. The laptop I am typing this on is over a year old and has a quad-core i7, 8G of RAM, dual hard drives in a RAID 1 array, two high-end graphics cards, etc. I'll bet you paid WAY too much for that overpriced unit.
i got the maxed out early 2011 17" MBP and it screams with power!, however if any of you are choosing between imac or mbp, then consider some of the folowing.. is it really mandatory it has to leave your suite/bedroom, do you need power over portability, bigger screen size for the buck. okay if you answered No, Yes, Yes. then go with iMac, much more power if your hardcore gamer, editor, or producer
@crephotos A lot of people use that argument. I paid $1300 for my 13 inch and you can get better specs for $800 but I was fed up with the windows operating system. Windows is purely shit and cannot do the most simplest task. Today I used my parents PC for 30 minutes to help my mum out and got 7 "not responding" messages while using IE, 3 random closes of IE and a patience that nearly exploded. I don't mind paying more for a laptop if the operating system is far better.
@mattchew02 lol you never use IE. I've been using windows since I was 5. I've never had any issues with it. They had macs at my elementary school and they turned me off from apple products. I know the macooks run great and all but I can't justify spending that much on one.
@randomrazr Yeah my Macbook pro didn't came from the Apple store or online because I don't have any interest in Apple's warranty so we picked it up from best buy and that was about a week ago when Lion had just came out but I can asure you that it is the latest model.
@aycardo10 The applecare warranty is applied for 1 year anyway, it doesn't matter where you buy it. You'll have interest in the warranty when you go in there in 1.5 years and they want to charge you $900 to repair your logic board. Good luck!
@aycardo10 thanks btw if its not a problem do you think you sub to me im trying to go partner so i can buy Macbook collecting over 2 grand is without another boost of money coming in it may seem like i dont make videos alot but im trying to wait til my b-xday so i can get my camera
