Add : BootCamp to install and run Windows Vista/XP plus my own purchased Windows Vista - Home Premium.
Cost : $2,299 plus cost of purchasing BootCamp, Windows Vista
Free Printer worth 100$ and and iPod Touch worth 229$
Programs to be used the most : Autodesk programs such as AutoCad, Revit, Maya, 3DsMax etc. None of these are compatible with Mac OS, therefore I need to install Windows as a seperate OS.
Adobe software such as the Adobe Design Premium Suite
So which one do I go in for considering I will be using the systems for high end 3d animation and rendering most of the time. Also, would you suggest and modifications or upgradation to the given configurations??
I have been a PC user all my life and want to shift to a Mac to try it out. I am wondering if it is worth investing 3000$ at this!?
PS: I have to buy at least one of these systems and it is not possible to downgrade any of the configurations!
Suggestions please!!
Thank you!
