      It's a bit of a joke though Michalis, the price is ridiculous when you actually shop around. Yeah I love the OS but windows 7 is infinitely better than the old crap we used to deal with.

      Yeah thatΒ mac pro is Β£2300+ for just the machine, I want to spend less than Β£2000 on everything. No other mac way of doing this I'm afraid. I need cores for rendering, some hdri panos I'm making are taking hours to process. This setup I propose would be pound for pound faster than equivalent price imac.

      Another reason why I won't buy apple again, their customer service is appalling. This is the 6th screen I've had on my imac, it's still steamed up now. My mum's ipad burnt within one week of ownership and they replaced it furtively with a second hand unit. My macbook pro got repaired and they sent it back with a big dent. Patronizing, arrogant staff, I just hate the whole scene. Would just feel like a complete idiot spending Β£2000 with them again for a slower machine.

        For work on the move nothing has worked for me better than MacBook Pro's for 3D & 2D.
        I have used some super high spec laptops from Alienware for 3D but they are just as expensive as a top of the line MBpro.

        However for rendering and for most serious work you need a desktop and in the department for value for money Apple just cant compete with PC hardware. Plus Apple has a habit of breaking as soon as your care plan is up.

            I have Mac (iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad etc ) at home and Windows at work, I love my Mac's but I HATE the Mac version of SketchUp. I find the Windows version much better.
            Infract I have windows 7 in a Parallels VM on my iMac just to run SU.
            I don't do any serious work in SU at home, if I was to then I'd get a Windows machine just for it.

            English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

                        Running 30K then falling down dead. They celebrate that every year in Boston, I think.
