[QUOTE="Andy348, post: 722410, member: 65532"] The differences between PCs and Macs are vast. To my limited experience, a PC is like a souped up Toyota Supra and a Mac is like a Ferrari. They might both go the same speed, but which one can do it without the discomfort? That being said, once you move to Mac, you will realize that everything is simpler. Instead of just print screen, going into Paint and saving it, it saves it to your desktop. Its little things like that (and Macs have many of them!) that really sell me on Macs. From what I've read, depending on the needs of your portability, I'd do one of the following (this is with no budget :)) 1. MacBook Pro 2.5Ghz 15" w/4GB of Ram (upgrade on your own using Crucial.com, its a lot cheaper!) running Windows XP for games with an external monitor. 2. Macbook Pro 2.5Ghz 17" w/4GB of Ram (same as above) running Windows XP on Parallels for games. If I were you, I'd go for the first option. Cheaper, especially if you have your own monitor! [/QUOTE]
