After today's class discussion about laptop and tower computers I couldn't help but look up the latest tower computer that Apple offers. It turns out it is called the Mac Pro and it comes with a very impressive array of features that make it one of the most powerful computers on the market. Equipped with 4 internal hard drive bays, the Mac Pro can hold up to 4 TB of memory, while the sliding processor tray allows you to add up to 32 GB of RAM. The Mac Pro also comes with an optional 8 core processor. The drawback to the amazing power of this computer is the fact that when purchased to these configurations it easily cost over $10,000. While somewhat expensive, this computer would be great for someone that does a lot of video editing, or for some reason needs 4TB of memory. An ag. teacher might be better off buying an iMac, or or Mac Book based on the performance and more affordable cost.
How much memory does an Ag Teacher need?
ReplyDeleteI believe that a tetrabyte (T) is 1000 gigabytes
I have a 300gb portable hard drive that has the records of over 100 students on it, all of my program files, all of my OSU class files, and lesson plans from well over 30 teachers...and it is about 3/4 full.
