Should I sell my PC for an IMAC?
 

yay or ney?

:thumbsup

here we go...

please..keep your pc...and delete all ms crap on it

use ubuntu...i bet you could sell a shit ton of computers with ubuntu on them

especially if you help solve the current issues

unless you have some sick custom crazy pc you will probably get a couple hundred dollars out of it. last time i checked you can't get an imac for that, not even refurbished.

that being said, i only use mac. 33 and never owned a pc.

i'd never try again to switch to mac - gave up after 2 or 3 months and went back to windows. no issues since then

If you need the features of both then its best to invest and have both. Mac is great for designers but its hard to get programs and scripts for them so I would do both in that case.

Go for a Mac.

This is really an old wives tale. Our entire company has exclusively used macs for a decade...designers, editorial staff, accounting, developers. Check our site and you will see our developers aren't having any problems.

yes it is... since mac went with the UNIX kernel scripting and such is a breeze.. the old wives tales about design and the arts comes from that community being mac based, not that mac is better.

just so fucking hard to deal with macs when you don't have one...spent hours and hours trying to get windows files understood by post houses out here in LA.

the macies always tell me mac will accept any windows files.. I find that not be true with the caveat of "it's so easy you just buy/download/get this 'app' and it will convert it right away"

yeah I had to do an editing job on a mac.. was a total nightmare. not that mac or PC is better just so different in fundamental ways.. like file trees and the way apps open and close etc... I use my machines for work only. for me to replace really fast 3 quad cores with 12gig ram would cost me 15K with the new apps needed... plus the time i would need to re organize my work flow. just not cost beneficial to me... I very seldom have issues with PC other than adobe products.

Whats a PC?

well I can prob get a little more than a hundred dollars.

this is my current pc setup

yeah go for it!

Go for it! Once you go Mac you never go back*!

*except in a few instances ;)

I would not :)

I sold my mac shit after windows 7 came out. Vista pissed me off but Mac felt like a toy.

keep your pc and buy the imac, you'll love the imac, but still need the pc

Mac is for suckers. For the same price grab a pc with all the trimmings...

I dumped Windows 2 years ago and bought a Mac Pro system, an iMac and a Macbook Pro. One of the best decisions I've ever made. In fact, I should have done it years before.

Not saying that Mac is perfect for everyone. Only that it's perfect for me :thumbsup

Try this :)

why not?

macs are overrated, they are pretty good, pretty easy to use ,etc... but not exactly a miracle product everyone makes them out to be... :2 cents:

How to make a multipage thread on GFY

Yes :thumbsup:thumbsup

Do this :

By an iMac 27". You'll fucking love it.

Install it right beside your PC, and then set up your mac with the same software you have on your PC (Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc) to make your Mac more and more usable for your business.

You still start using your Mac more and more, and your PC less and less. For any emergency jobs you have to do you can still use your PC of course (zero learning curve), but otherwise use your mac.

One day you'll forget to turn on your PC... and on that day, you will smile.

Fuck that, stick with PC

P.S.

pussy lips

you know you can run mac OS on PC? why the hell would you change your great configuration!?

ive had an imac the same one with out any work done on it for 4 years now ... never a single issue :)

A buddy of mine, a 20 years experienced C coder who used to work under Windows , was hired by a company where they run shit on MACs, after a week he gave up and installed Paralel Desktops LOL.

Me, as a designer, i dont give a shit, i just love MAC more bcs they are QUIET :) Just one thing that bothers me why the fuck on MAC Photoschop has no background panel and everyting is visible behind it?

Quiet enough to call any PC a helicopter. Comparing laptops.

I've done this on my current PC at home. Works perfectly :thumbsup

Go for a mac, thank all the mac fans later ;-)

If you let it go for a few hundred I am interested. Please let me know

Open Photoshop, at the top go to Window > Application Frame and make sure it's checked. Now you have a background. Unless you are working with an older version of PS :thumbsup

mac ftw....

Just dual boot....too fucking easy..

doubt it, ths processor alone was $1300 ;)

I even sold my old processor for $300.

So $200 is way to cheap.

used mac at friends house, don't know what is the hype all about... felt like it's build to look cute and be used by females, seriously...

yes, get a mac.
the only people that cannot switch to mac from a PC are the stubborn ones.
tey also always have an old phone like motorola star tac

depends, do you sometimes fantasize about sucking cock in a dark alley?

haven't you posted about this before? I just KNOW I've posted in one of your threads like this before.

PROS: Nice gui on top of unix, command line, plus photoshop and other programs you won't find on a unix workstation. Can still run windows in virtulbox/etc if you need to. Better quality hardware than most windows laptops.

Cons: none imho.

GREAT fucking machine


although most people who buy a mac will never use a pc again after the 2nd day...

Linux > OSX > Windows.

By a PC with compatible hardware and triple boot.

Fuck Apple and their overpriced hardware buy Hackintosh compatible hardware.

x2.

Productivity out the ass with these babies.

My Entire Network is made on a Mac :thumbsup

go to every production house in hollywood - all video editing and photoshop and creative is done on mac... 100 percent. Since the earliest days of AVID to present I have never once seen any creative projects being done on a PC in any production house I have worked at or visited...not one...that pretty much says it all.

100% Mac over here!

Neigh...
