Dual boot like the others said. I dual boot as well cuz I need to use all them music production programs that are only for mac....

Im The Only One That Said Dual Boot....Computer Noobs

MAC MAC MAC AND MAC

[Nismo]

MAC, why would you want to dual boot? Windows blows. Dual booting seems like something good but then you start messing with OSX then you quickly realize that Windows really sucks and there is no reason to waste hard drive space to install it.

^^ agree

[ep9716]

I Dont Agree....At All....700Gb's FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[man]

Macbook. They rarely if ever freeze, excellent tech support, and its really hard to get a virus.

[TRDwasiq]

well wrong section:)

[blurred visions]

Macbook by far, I finally broke down and bought one early this year and it has forever changed my life. No matter what happens, I will ALWAYS own a mac from here on out.

If you're running Photoshop CS3, then make sure you have at least 2GB RAM. CS3 is much more complex than CS2 and if you do make the dumb choice and get a PC, you have to have Vista to run CS3. Just so you know.

I have a PowerBook G4 that ive had for 4 years this xmas! It works as good as it did the first time i turned it on!!

All the trouble I had with windows on PCs growing up are gone, macs have done a very good job of taking consumer feedback and have worked out a lot of bugs over the years.

So straight up atleast TRY a mac for a while!

i just got a macbook this summer, i love it so far and wouldn't trade it for anything

the only gripe i have is the bullshit you have to go through with to get anything done on your computer, walking into the apple store to ask a question always turns into a three ring circus

I got my Toshiba for 1/2 the price of a macbook, have 150GB of pics on it and use it for photoshop every single day, and i can't complain about service because i've never needed any on it... :dunno:

Every mac i've used, both new and used, has had issues :thinking:

[DrivenMind]

Been using Macs since I was 11, and now I run a MacBook Pro. Best computer I've had the privilege of using, runs audio recording, photo & video editing, and vector based graphic programs with ease.

mac book, i did the pc route and regret it big time
