[QUOTE="applepissue, post: 189734, member: 15764"] I would wait for the switch to intel if you can do with out it. If your using Macs a School u dont need a Mac as you already know how to use a Mac and CS 2, Studio 8 and Quark work the same on the PC. The Dual G5's are very nice machines, we have dual 2Ghz ones at my school and they will still be fast in years to come. When the teacher asked who had a Mac in our class only 2 people raised their hands(including me) so that makes 2 people out of 24, that near 10%. I really thought alot more students in the design, multimedia field would have Macs. The only reason i say get wait for the intel PowerMacs is because its a huge investment and to spend all the money now on what is basically Apples old hardware systems (ie. G4s,G5s) will be great in the short term, but i bet When the intel macs comes out you will wish you would of waited. Maybe you wont care at all but it would bug me. If you can wait i would go for the intel power Mac, but if you can hold on till the end of the year 3 years down the track u will be glad you have a intel mac [/QUOTE]
