<p>Thes users are telling you the truth, and I used to be like you wanting to max out on processor use and stuff, but truth is, you’ll never even use most of these things, and let’s not confuse “sophisticated computer usage” with heavy hardware usage. You’ll be fine with almost anything 600+, I highly recommend macbook pro, you can get last year’s version for 700, which will last you for many years!!</p>
