I'm considering purchasing a macbook pro.
The spec I'm looking at is the 2.4Ghz 15" version, with 4GB ram and the 7,200 rpm hard disk, which would be hooked up to a 25" widescreen monitor.
My concerns are how well it will perform under heavy stress from resource intensive applications. I use 3dmax, vegas video/adobe, milkfloat etc in windows currently, and want to know if the MBP would be capable of running these - and I don't mean it would manage to struggle along whilst rendering a 1gb video over the course of a week.
Looking at bootcamp makes the MBP look more attractive, as I could hack together Fedora or something else on the other partition, and since they've become fully unix certified I'm happy to start looking into one.
I'm only considering a MBP because I figure that my PC is good enough at the moment, so don't really want to get a mac desktop. However - if anyone does a lot of video editing/animation on theirs, I'd be really keen to get some opinions.
Thanks.
