[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1624987, member: 101749"] For these reasons alone, you should buy a Mac. They are the most intuitive Operating System I have come across, and everything is in a Logical place. Where you think a file/folder should be, it is there. You don't need ANY AV program running in the background, because there is NO virus in the wild that can affect a Mac in any way, shape or form. All computers will crash at some point in time, but in my experience, all I have every had is a Kernel Panic crash, and that was because of a 3rd party USB connector. If your main Software works on the Mac then that is a big bonus, and everyday more and more Windows Programs, are getting ported to OS X, so there is becoming less of the need for Bootcamp, and/or a VM. If there is the odd Design Software that needs Windows, then for $70 or there about you can buy [URL="http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/?PID=3480832&PubCID=2708051"]VMware Fusion[/URL] or [URL="http://www.parallels.com/au/products/desktop/"]Parallels[/URL] and your set to go. EDIT: If/when you do go and buy your Mac, my advice is, buy one with as much RAM as you can, because you don't need to worry about upgrading then. It a investment that will be greatly appreciated once you start running such design programs, especially if Chief Architect Premier recommend 8GB RAM, then 16/32 will be your best bet. Always good to have at least double what they recommend IMHO [/QUOTE]
