Without retina display, it would be $2199 before tax (new). If it isn't for the 8GB ram and 15" requirement. He can probably slide with the $1799 one since the ram is configurable and he can overclock his i7 quad cores. For what he is going to do, there's going to be a lot of heavy rendering work, 3d modeling, etc. I'm not even sure if 8GB of ram on a laptop would cut it. I made the assumption when a few friends of mine who uses 16GB of RAM to do their work. I have 8GB of ram and that's barely enough for what <b>I</b> do.<br /><br />Thank you, Dr. Strange.Anna Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09910281885492487809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388539516656013554.post-14164598330214537882012-11-11T13:28:47.550-06:002012-11-11T13:28:47.550-06:00"...he would need to spend $2500 on a MAC lap..."...he would need to spend $2500 on a MAC laptop just to meet the minimum requirements. He will only need to spend $1000 on a Windows laptop..." I find that very hard to believe. What in the world are the requirements?<br /><br />In fact, I would ban TV FIRST. But I don't believe in banning anything. Learn to use use everything responsibly.<br /><br />Thorough, thoughtful, well done! <br /><br />Mr. Spencer uses satire and metaphors. Dr. Mcleod uses sarcasm. It will not surprise you I am sure, but many students misunderstood the use of these writing techniques. Watch for a detailed explanation in the class blog next week. <br />John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388539516656013554.post-15483470367788871922012-11-08T17:09:41.416-06:002012-11-08T17:09:41.416-06:00Thank you Quentin!Thank you Quentin!Anna Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09910281885492487809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388539516656013554.post-65705316268784437662012-11-07T15:57:32.513-06:002012-11-07T15:57:32.513-06:00Bravo, Anna!
