(Hooked on you) Nice job!

And a question for everyone here:

We need a new mac asap as our mac pro is a v.1.1 with dual core processors and it is only 4 cores to use so we need something way better fast!? Do we buy a new macbook pro 2012 or a used one with more specs? Or a Retina pro for 2999 bux that some ppl here says is the "best computer in the world" .. ?

Any ideas?
Chris
A new, full sized Macbook Pro is your best bet for power and longevity if you want to go the laptop route. Less expensive than the Retina with the same specs, and you can swap out the drives if you're so inclined. Has more in the way of onboard I/O as well.

Speculation points to 1st quarter for new Mac Pros if you can wait that long.

Otherwise, there is always the 'hackintosh' route that I, and several others here have gone... and may never come back.

I do empathize with those still running a 1,1 though. Apple's neglect is showing, and it's not helping their former image as a company committed to products that cater to the creative professional.
