Subject: Re: What do you recommend as a laptop cracking station? :)
Hi,
I just want to comment all of the reply's i just read uper & share my own doing.
I am on MAC & all my Machine's run on OSX LION 10.7.5
I am currently run "John" on an MacBookPro 17' 2011 ( last one) I7
/SSD / 8Go / GC ATI M6750 1Go
On the other side, i have an MAC PRO Quad XEONS @ 3ghz with 16 Go & SSD
In Pure CPU usage the MacbokkPro I7 beat the MacPro
& i can say in GPU also ( cause i have an Quadro on MacPro not working
well on that process )
But i agreed , for an intensive use an Desktop is recomembed.
My 2 cent's anyway,
Regards,
Donovan
