Wow. 1000 euro a used laptop of 4 years?
I see the negotiation lasted, although it was a 17th."

 

[gerod]

3 years and 1.5 months! the 3 year warranty has just expired!!! !
It's the market price considering it has the new monitor.
Anyway, I'm here for any negotiation.

 

[Giuseppe Mauro]

for the love of God... I hope you sell it to 1200
It is only that today a great 17" car (obviously not mac), comes on 1100 euros.

I disagree.
I just took the new macbook pro 17 and a portable ws of the precision m6600 17" (it seems, I do not use it myself). costs less mac than dell! with similar characteristics.
However with 1100 euros you take a great car but not to work with three-dimensional cad and to make structural calculations. I tried laptops, professional ones that cost you save time.
Hi.

This is new.
I took the standard macpro17 from the apple site (2500 euros) and on the site of I configured the precision m6600 by drawing processor, hd and screen from 1920 (although sincerely 1920 on a 17 I don't know what they can serve).
of the climbed to 2120, but having just at the disposal a sk video firepro from 2gb, against a hd series of the apple (namely video card nothing to say, but not even remotely comparable to a firepro in the professional field).
to arrive at 2435 with the dell I had to put on the touch schemo (mado' that pussy a 17" multitouch type ipad, but perhaps useless).
remains the reader/master of dvd that the mac does not have.

I would say that I am quite unlikely that an equal macpro (or similarity) of hardware could cost less than one pc, of any brand.
I don't know the programs you use (some are really heavy), but I can tell you I've seen the sap spin with complex models on 500 Euro machines. it was as smooth as oil and without biblical times.

In all cases, I think that to work (I intend to work seriously) a fixed is necessary. a laptop should serve as a complement, as a support. Inconsistent to run heavy modeling programs, and look at what you do on the stamp that is a laptop monitor. a 17" is no longer a laptop but it's a "transportable" that's very different, but relegating an i7 coupled with a 2gb firepro on a monitor smaller than 24" is a rubbish to misery:

macpro or macbook pro?
anyway my model (what I sell) is rated 1000 euri.

it will also be true, but we are in three and for 10 years we work with laptops (which ribbed) and we have always worked with solid edge and ansys without problems.

I think the smartest thing is a 15" coupled to an external monitor and keyboard when you work in the office. so you have both mobility and ergonomics.

 

[gerod]

That's right. That's what I do when I'm in the office!! !
