AWhiteFlame Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hi there. I'm looking to buy a 15" MBP that's C2D. I'm in high school, and I'm trying to manage getting a car, paying for insurance, and getting an MBP. (Yeesh.) The reason being is that I've been developing with C/C++ since I was pretty young (first started on VC++ using MFC and the like just before the turn of the century), and I really want to start working with Objective-C and Cocoa. C2D is important because I would like to have available to me the 64-bit nature of Leopard, and having a MBP over a MB is important as I would like to have a somewhat decent GPU at my dispense if I ever need CoreAnimation or if I do any work with OpenGL. Right now, a friend and I are working on an open-source BitTorrent client, and I'm pretty eager to see if I can start building the OS X GUI for it. I used to play around with XCode on my Powerbook G4 Ti @ 500 MHz, but the logic board seems to be fried and won't turn on. The battery was also dead, fans were extremely loud, the AirPort card no longer worked and the LCD backlight only worked if it were open at one particular angle. In any case, I was wondering if anyone were willing to sell for <$1000ish. Even at that, I'm not sure if it is feasible for me right now, but seeing if I would even be able to get one at this price would be the first step in finding out if I can. Thanks in advance.

AWhiteFlame Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Actually, thinking about it again, I realised that Core 2 Duo really isn't imperative because I can cross-compile 64-bit binaries with a 32-bit processor. So does anyone have an MBP that they'd be willing to sell in this range? PM me if interested. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
