Justify Macbook Ownership

<< < (5/5)

dizzy:
i'd recommend buying the cheapest laptop availiable and using only when you can't use your desktop, then again i get all my bits and computers wholesale, so what costs me 1200 australian dollars, costs you at least 1500 retail.

not_inspired:
i'd never spend less than 2 grand AUS on a laptop but then I use mine a hell of a lot often at the same time as my desktop machines.

as far as high end machines go if your doing graphics your probably on a mac. If your doing music your stuck with what ever platform your software wants to run on. Pro tools hasn't been too mac friendly since Logic switched over to being mac only though I do find that software like ableton live runs and looks heaps better on my G4 12" Powerbook than on my main Pc which is twice as powerful.

Oh and you can put linux on macs, so buy a a macbook pro and dual boot it with ubuntu.

nihilist:
I've had a Dell laptop for three years, and I have nothing to complain about.  Five year four hour on-site warranty for $300.  Nothing will ever be better.  Getting long in the tooth, but still pretty damn good for anything that isn't a game.
