my mac runs adobe perfectly
even better than windows IMO.
I like mac more, it does it all for me. if you dont find it efficient too bad. stay with your pc o.o and the 1000000 drivers you need so it runs lol
Ok, you stick with overpriced tech with less than substantial results. I personally don't find installing drivers hard, and like the fact that if something goes wrong it's within my power to fix it. unless you don't know what's wrong.
I personally don't mind taking computers apart and fixing them. Unless you have dead hardware a PC is always fixable. If a system file gets deleted it's always recoverable.

People who use multiple programs at the same time and want programs to run in the most efficient way possible? you mean browse 4chan and make lol pictures about cats right?

You must hate all of us conformist sheep. I just don't really see the need for a 64 bit adobe program for a casual user.
Since you're on Windows it's probably a cracked version anyway.

Sad thing is my desktop isn't all that powerful, yet I can guarantee it's 3 or 4 times more superior than the mac that you spent double the money on.

I just think that a gif image like what I mentioned would be for the greater good of the community, if you did it on your mac it would be an in your face to flion for saying macs weren't as good.

Lolhurr this topic is about sex and darki now.
I started uni earlier this september doing "Computer games development" Bsc.
Our tutor pointed out the huge student discount we get on macs etc and said preferably you should buy a good laptop to do your work on. Obviously we arent expected to but for various reasons i am after a laptop and may as well make it relevant to my course.
The problem is i know nothing about Macs and dont know whether to spend alot of money on one or get something else probably cheaper with just as good specs. Bare in mind i get 15% (stated) off Macs (although ive heard i get alot more off).
So what would you guys suggest, i guess ill be using various software on it for my course and i recall my tutor saying it should have 4gb of ram and 20gb hardrive.
Is there anything im missing with macs? I can get all microsoft stuff on it if i like, such as office or msn with no problems? And what are the main plus points of macs?
Thanks in advance.
