Asus P7P55D Deluxe motherboard Intel I7 860 2.8ghz 8Gb DDR3 1600mhz ram Gigabyte 9800GT video card 24" viewsonic HD widescreen 750GB Hard Drive $2500 NZD its faster than the mac pro and about 1/3 price, i prefer the flexibility of pc components so you can build and upgrade far cheaper but prefer OSX over windows so just make the best from both, problem sovled. ive just built a wicked pc and am running snow leopard on it and its ridiculously fast.

$2500 NZD its faster than the mac pro and about 1/3 price, i prefer the flexibility of pc components so you can build and upgrade far cheaper but prefer OSX over windows so just make the best from both, problem sovled.

As for me, well, I don't like change and I like being able to play games on my computer as well as do graphic design. I imagine if I get a laptop it'll be Windows 7 or a Mac, though. But I don't like change. I'm running XP and unless Windows 7 turns out incredible I'll run it until I'm forced to upgrade. Or I'll get a Mac. I suppose. This article didn't really convince me into getting a Mac because I like my computers simple; none of this 'you need all these programs to do all these things' business. I'd be running Linux NOW if only it could run Photoshop. Pff. I dunno. The last time I used a Mac, it made my head hurt. Maybe if I tried again... @Marc Shake – There is GIMP, which works on Ubuntu (I believe), but nothing really comparable to Photoshop.

I'd suggest buying a Mac Mini. Relatively cheap, I ran mine using a KVM switch for the first six months while I weaned myself off the PC. I then sold the Mac Mini (for very nearly what I'd paid for it) and bought a Macbook (the PC is in a cupboard somewhere). For anyone considering switching. I’d suggest buying a Mac Mini.

I sadly often get to work with macs and i don't think to be more creative, faster, safer, productive. I've seen more macs crashing in the last 3 years than windows-based computers. The new 27" looks good, but thats it. the inside is average outdated technology, as always. Mac people often don't know what is really new and cutting edge technology. A Mac is just another computer. Why I am not switching to Mac:
- too expensive; everything costs extra
- i don’t like the apple image/ don’t want to be part of that cult-like community
- a lot of promises – almost all broken
- apple fools its own customers with subtle psychological tricks
- hardware is too poor

Of course no system is immune from quirks but that is the life of the computer. Thanks Federico for giving me something to pass on to them. I even got my mother to switch and she loves the simplicity along with the tidy organization. I am a Mac fan and cannot express enough to my clients and colleagues the benefits of switching.
