Macbook G3 Specs
macbook g3 specs
Is my son being ungreatful about his college laptop?
My son is on his way to College, getting a degree in Graphic Design or somthing like that, he says he needs a Mac laptop, so i did some searching and found somthing called a iBook Clamshell for a reasonable price, the specs are:
300 MB of RAM
6 GB HDD
and a G3 processor
My son told me this won’t cut it, and said he needs the “MacBook Pro” a $2,000+ computer
i said no-way, and he claims he can never work with the iBook i got him. Should I help him get the MacBook Pro? or is he just being ungreatful?
He says he’ll be using it for some 3D modeling in a program called Lightwave. And that he can afford to pay half of the cost
He is getting this degree so he could possibly get a job making Video Games.
lol the clamshell iBook hasnt been made in years. Its severly outdated but a 6GB hd is probably a typo on your part. Back to the point though this computer is likely not an acceptable computer for doing any type of serious college work, this is passable as a simple word pocessor at this time. He doesnt need a MacBook Pro and will do fine with a basic MacBok or one of the older models.
In regards to specs you will want 60GB HDD 1GB ram 1.2ghz processor. Better specs will make it run better but wont be a limiting factor in what he wants to be able to do
