just starting to get use to the huge monitor. at first i felt like i was at the theater in the front row.
you bought a mac because you wanted faster rendering?
lol, all you needed to do was upgrade to a machine that is properly configured for rendering.

its not a mac vs dell issue
its a new computer (thus newer/faster hardware) vs older computer (thus last generation)

for $2800 you could build a way faster computer than that mac, which you pay for the name on and they have 70% profit margin on (yes, apple tries to maintain a 70% profit margin on all their products)
