ill probably buy a mac desktop in the near future.
So... It cost more, does the same shit, except doesnt run most games until there a year older and adapted. Its more expensive to upgrade and you wish it did stuff that XP does...

Well shit. Sign me up.

yah, theyve found their niche in the creative market and are milking it for all its worth. if you want to design for print, im pretty sure youre going to have to do it on a mac right now.

no way in hell i would just own a mac since i game. but , if you didnt game at all then it might be for you.

Mac's are fading out of the industry ffs. LOTR set the new standard when it was completely edited on a PC/ (Mini Compute though, not a micro). AND it was done with Vegas !! ed:

A MAC does not accept PC software (in most cases) simply for the reason that a MAC OS Format puts the FAT section of the fixed disk (Hard Drive) on the inside by the hub. Microsoft places it around the outside. Swtiching to Intel will not open many new doors at all. Also This swtich was only done becasue IBM could not spit out a 3ghz chip.

AND why would Apple go with Intel over AMD ??

Simple "Brand Name Power" Intel has a majority of the market, and people think they are getting what they paid for when they buy a Intel chip. AMD has not established a brand name for itself yet. (At least to the GENERAL Public.).

AND my advice to you Judas.....

I use MAC's on a near daily basis. AND all I can tell you is unless you are extremely into video editing....... WHICh you do not seem to be.. AVOID them. When it comes to functionality and general speed, the Microsoft Solution at the present time is much better.
