Hello everyone,
I'm looking to switch from PC to Mac but had a few questions.
First, hardware...
I'm looking at getting the 15" Macbook Pro with the upgraded resolution (1050). I need help deciding if I need the i5 or the i7. Also how much of a difference is there between the 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm drive?
For the software....
I use a lot of Adobe software for web and graphics however it is all PC based. Is it possible to use this on Snow Leopard? Also, I use Quickbooks for accounting and Office for documents. I currently use Outlook (with hosted exchange) for email. How does PC software work on the Mac? Would it use bootcamp or a dual-boot setup? Will I need to install a copy of Windows to do that?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm very excited to switch to Mac!
