Hello,
I am very close to purchasing my first mac, however like many others I am torn between staying with a PC...I started out on a PC...I do everything from gaming to websites/graphics to standard email web surfing. I have 7 to 10 things running in the background at any given time, winamp, photoshop, dreamweaver, email, 5 web browsers, and a few IMs, i have photoprinter, scanner, ipods, soundcard with guitar hooked up, video camera.
lets take the macbook pro say 2.33 ghz 256 mb graphic and up to 3 gig memory retail 2499 and compare that with a dell 2.33 ghz 512graphic up to 4 gig memory 2299.00
lets take away the interface and how anything other then windows looks great...can anyone say that i would get better performance out of a mac....the pc i can not stand lag in anything whether it be web browsing or moving a graphic around....most designers i know use macs however i have been doing the same stuff on my decked out pc gaming type tower....but this move is for the laptop....i can read all day long...i can control popus and viruses on my pcs....id say there is they occasional crash when i def overload...any advice out there supporting or condemning the move to a mac??? Being this is a mac forum...sell me...!!
or...I just by the lower end macbook and satisfy myself with owning a mac...but id hate to love it and wish i had more power ect ect.....
