Hi guys, Im new here but my main aim of visiting the mac forums is to work out some of my best options and get some decent advice from those currently using or long time users of Mac products.
I currently have an ASUS notebook with an Intel Duo Core 2 2.10ghz processor, 16" HD/LED display, 500GB hard drive, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and a 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 220M Cuda graphics card running windows vista obviously, purchased for about $1450 Australian currency ($1,330 US dollars roughly)
I have been doing a fairly substantial amount of research as of late in regards to the Macbooks and Macbook Pro's and am seeking some advice on the advantages/disadvantages between the Apple and non-apple notebooks in all regards, open to any input. I probably wouldnt want to spend more than $2500 at most if possible but need a fairly high end performance notebook for programming, video encoding, gaming, arts design etc.
Cheers, kodu
