Now before we go nuts (being a Mac forum an all) let me explain. I'm a Mac user, and the occasional PC user. I'm a designer and I use my powerbook for pretty much everything, even gaming.
With the new MacBook Pro's out, I'm seriously considering upgrading. My PowerBook has been good to me but I would to run the newer graphic programs.
Now my partner is a PC freak, being a typical IT professional (I hate Windows but I won't use anything else...go figure) is chunking a tanty (I'm Aussie so basically means chucking a tantrum) about me paying over that much money for a Mac when I can purchase a PC (Alienware or something or rather) with the same specs for the same amount install OS X and it be cheaper.
Personally, I hate Winblows. I've had my PowerBook for the last four going on five years and have had to rebuild once because my hard drive failed. I've had very little issues and I love how I don't have to worry about my Mac. So I will be getting my Mac.
More to the point, anyone here have any thing that I can trump his stupid PC arguement. I'm not well versed on hardware specs and all I know is it works, doesn't break and it easy to use. So I would like to throw some arguement back at him.
I hope this made sense.
Thanks guys!
