Mac vs PC

[Seiphas]

I can't stand when people buy a Mac for graphic design purposes. I don't think they understand that in addition to the same software being available for PCs, the software actually performs far better on a PC, because Adobe doesn't have 64-bit CS4 or GPU acceleration on a Mac.

People don't seem to understand that they're paying money for an inferior product.

As for the person talking about colour accuracy on macs.
That's horse----.
Unless you get some good calibration tools, you end up with the same ****** results.

Hear hear!

People should buy more Mac Pros... and more ipods, and more apple products in general!
I love it when Apple's stock just keeps getting higher and higher (as it is doing now)

I personally don't own any apple products. Just stock in the company.

I use Win XP Pro, 2gigs and it's smooth stable and editing is just fine.
Apple is highly overpriced for what you're getting, but you can't deny the fact that the packaging on the outside is beautiful.

But that LianLi does not come with OSX does it? PPL forgetting about the heart of the computer too quickly, its the OS.

Which is a shame because OSX is for people who don't know how to use computers.

I can't figure out why PC users (I'm a pc and mac user btw) have such a strong emotional reaction to these types of threads.

If there's anything worse than a Apple Fanboy it's the Apple Anti-Fanboy

Why do people use Mac computers to edit mainly pictures and sound? I know a few people who use Macs exclusively for Photoshop yet the same software can be found on the PC.

That's a fair enough question.

I use my Mac for post-processing my photos because of Aperture, which is cheaper and easier to use then Adobe Lightroom 2 but less powerful but that is the trade-off you get.
