[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1374651, member: 232297"] Are they worth the money. IMHO No they are not. You can get one **** of a Windows PC for what the mid range Macbook Pros cost and you won't have problems switching your Adobe CS5 programs over to Mac, which will cost you as Adobe doesn't so that for free. Macs use the Exact Same Hardware as Windows PCs. And they suffer the same OS and program glitches. If they didn't there wouldn't be all these Mac forums around. If they Just Worked then you wouldn't see all these posts on all the Mac forums. Also there are just more and better programs for Windows. There are only a few programs made that don't have a version that runs on Windows and for those there are multiple other program that do the same things. Even Apple specific programs run as good if not better on a PC. Like iTunes and iCloud. And all there other hardware works just as good if not better on a PC. Pods, Pads, Phones even there Airport stuff. And if you haven't heard Mac's are Not easier to use. They are just different. Yes I own a Mac, a MBP 15" late 2011. But I also own Windows computers. What do I use the most, what platform do I use for work? That would be Windows PCs. So think long and hard if you want to go through the learning curve, the change over to all new programs and or cost of switching to Mac programs. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
