[QUOTE="wolfpuppies3, post: 1234801, member: 174960"] [b]You are absolutely right to look to Macs[/b] I am a photographer with a deep appreciation for the graphics abilities my Mac products show me every day. Get a MacBook Pro, 15" screen, through the Apple Refurbs program unless their student discount for a new machins beats those prices. All the better if you can get a student discount on a refurb. Get the fastest processor, largest HDD, and most memory you can but know that you can upgrade the memory and HDD size later. Know also that, when finances allow, an external Apple 27" monitor is the end all monitor for graphics use. That can come later as well. As to software, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is the gold standard, hope you get a good student discount on that. Also, please get yourself an external HDD for Time Machine backups. You do not want to lose your work. [/QUOTE]
