The boss at work has offered to pay for a new mac for my design projects here at Tailwaters.

Matt,
I just bought two: one for my home office and one for my work office. I was having trouble with the limited RAM in my previous versions, but I’m up to 16 GB on these. I’m using the 2.8 GHz quad-core processor. In short, I’m very happy so far. The screen is massive, but I’m still waiting on the new tiny video to DVI adapter so I can hook up a second screen.
In addition, I also upgraded my notebook to a new MacBook Pro. I’ve had that about two weeks, and I’ve been very happy. Apple has designed and engineered some marvelous machines. I have 500 G of disk on my MacBook, but I came very close to ordering 256 G of solid-state storage instead. No moving parts!
Cheers,
TimYeah, I am definitely going to go with 8GB of ram. I wish I could do 16, but I don’t think the boss will pay for that one.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that there’s a limit to how much ram some applications can use ?

Anyone with other compelling reasons to go all the way to the mac pro’s?
Eric, I’ve done a little research (read: little) and it seems like the main difference is the portability. Obviously the Mac Pro you can pickup and take with you which some people will need – I’m weighing a purchase on both right now too. I’m finding it harder to justify spending another $5-800 just so I can take the laptop with me.
