Mac or PC?

13" Mac Air 2010 & Snow Leopard still going strong here, excellent travel computer. crunches 18mb raw files in decent time, and thats about heaviest operation am using it for. not trying to scroll and edit big photo libraries with it though, thats spared for some future Mac with more horsepower. am not missing anything from what PC's can offer.

To say that the Dell runs rings around my (now sold) 2011 17" MacBook Pro / Mac Pro is an understatement. I've got a 100% Adobe RGB IPS screen; 32GB RAM; a Quadro GPU with 4GB VRAM on board. I have CUDA support for Adobe Photoshop which I don't believe Mac OS X supports yet. The hardware has been flawless along with Windows 8. I can also upgrade any component in the laptop (including CPU and GPU) thus extending its life.

That is one seriously expensive laptop. I just bought a MacBook Pro which I really like. Horses for courses I suppose.

It is indeed, and I don't have the "Covet" version either or I'd be in debt for life.

I'm still a Mac user, but after recently getting a new Mini, I must admit that I hate the current OS. I do not have an iPhone or iPad ( and do not plan on getting either ), but it seems like everything is designed for those users. If I had the know-how, I'd build my own computer using an OS that makes sense to me ( the way that the old Mac OS's used to ).

I'm using Macs at home since 1998. My current iMac has a OSX and Windows 7 partition. Both work great. I could live with a Windows computer alone but not with a Mac alone because there are a few programs that I need who run on Windows only. So I'm not a Mac fanantic.

Its my business to fix Mac's.
Problem is there hardly is any business 😱

just updated my old Air from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, so jumped over Lion-release. took good deal of time to get everything re-installed, but its nice now, all running smooth.

reason to update was that some new apps support only to latest releases, Snow Leopard might not be in support list anymore. after discovering that its possible to install OS X from SD-Card (am traveling and not carrying spare USB or CD drives with me), went and finally did it! 🙂

Although I have always likes MACs a lot, I use ("Wintel") PCs.
MACs are just too expensive here in Germany.

I am a PC user both Windows and Linux. While I do understand why photographers might like MAC better, I do more than photography and I also like to build and tinker so the PC world is where I am.
