New MacBook Pro NVIDIA 9600M GT
-
Anyone using one?
I'm thinking of picking up a 15" in February.
Switching from a Dell Inspiron.Going to run AutoCAD 2009 and some 3rd party overlays in Bootcamp, but was hoping to run SketchUp on the Mac side. Haven't found much about the NVIDIA 9600M GT online.
I also have the chance to pick up a Lenovo W500 at a great price - but also wonder about the card in that machine - a Mobility FireGL V5700... lots of driver and BIOS issues.

I use my Macbook PRO 15' unibody for two months now, switching from my Sony 17" AR21 laptop as a first time Mac user
I am very confident with my new workhorse . It is twice as good as the previous one,; beautiful screen, very quick and no problems as long as you don't use high poly files of over 10mB
The connection with my Windows desktop, the 24"monitor is okay and I have it running with Windows on VMware to import Autocadfiles
As plugins I use Podium, Light-up and my favourite 3Dconnexion mouse
The rendered scenes from Lightup are a very good way to present complex designs to my clients and are looking much better than before probably due to the GPU's in use
Good luck

Thanks BertB!
I'll be doing something similar... SketchUp for modeling / presentation. I'll be running AutoCAD Architecture 2009 in BootCamp for intense structural work (3rd party overlay) or VM for easier work, review, take offs, etc.I don't do much 'rendering' aside from sketchy images that pull out as JPGs. Plenty of slideshows and walkthroughs.
