Hello all!
I did a search function on the people who have switched and wanted opinions on which model to buy and whether or not to switch...anyways, I really value your opinions so here goes:
I am thinking about a MacBook.
On my laptop PC I run mostly:
MS Office, Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Solidworks, Adobe, Activesync (for my PocketPC), itunes and picasa, email, web surfing
I am more of a casual user of Flash, Photoshop and Dreamweaver but want to get more into Flash. Will the macbook be OK with moderate Flash use? (if so, the 1.83 or the 2.00 with 1GB ram?)
Also, I just gradauted but am still technically a student until the end of the month. Buying now would give me a discount on the macbook, RAM and, most importantly, the software.
If I buy the academic version of flash and run it through rosetta on the macbook will I be able to upgrade to the full version of the new coded Flash by just paying the normal upgrade fee? (or do only the non-academic versions qualify for upgrades?)
My computer right now is still OK (it's not dying or anything) but I just think working on a mac would be...I don't know... more pleasant? Do most people keep a PC around too? Or wait until their PCs die to make the switch?
I hope that's all clear... Thanks in advance!!
