I will be starting back to college this fall, and the department strongly suggests owning a Mac in order to operate on the same system/format as all the classwork is geared toward.
I currently own P4 desktops and a laptop, and have a couple questions while shopping for my new mac...(love the justification this gives me to buy)
My laptop, a P4 3.2 ghz system gets extremely hot while operating under normal conditions. Normal conditions as defined by me is sitting on a hard surface and being used for 5 hours straight, as I will sit there and use it that long. How does the Mac G4 processor currently used in their laptops perform under similar conditions?
Anyone who routinely uses more than one Mac that could chime in with thier opinions of the differences/comparisons in performance would be appreciated.
I simply cannot decide on the G5 tower, iMac, or the powerbook.... My classes will be covering art and my main concern will be using Photoshop CS2 and editing photographs both individually and bulk processing. My kids use Macs at school, so this would allow them to use the same system at home as well.
All input is greatly appreciated.
