Hi all,
just starting my post doc this coming spring, and have some money to get a computer.
I will be working largely with 16s sequences (QIIME and the like) and although we have access to a supercomputer centre, I will be working remotely at times and having a computer to do some heavy lifting would be helpful.
The central debate is whether I should splurge for a 15" quad core (2.3gHz) macbook pro (16gb ram), or get a dual core 2.6 gHz (16Gb ram). Will the extra cores be particularly helpful for my workflow?
Thanks!
