i like mac as much as i like linux - they are both great to clear out boredoms - 99% of the time, it's windoze time

seriously, many graphic intensive users chose mac beacuse it's the INDUSTRY STANDARD. the de-facto governing the color palletes. and if you want your prints to be exactly the same as you had intended, then Mac is the easy way (not that i wanna say others are not good, it's just a lil bit harder)

of many other fundamental superiority over Windows such as stability, virus-free, much much much much... much lower crash rate.

please do not turn this thread into another "windows vs mac" war

in term of stability, windows xp (2kpro and also 2k3) are on par with linux and mac os x

Actually, buying Office for the Mac is in fact CHEAPER than for the PC.

The Student and Teacher version of MacOffice is only RM5xx and it includes serials for 3 computers.

Only catch is, you've got to be a student/teacher....

The TAHAN LAMA factor is just becoz when we buy computers, we don buy the original MADE IN USA  parts. We onli use MADE IN TAIWAN which offer more lower quality products. If you want quality...try to buy a branded PC such as IBM. Then you know the difference. If ur into graphics... then mac is the best choice not because of the stability...but the color. PC's are good for games, internet and word processing. One good thing about mac is the KEKEBALAN from many spywares although they are some(kate org la...tak sure x penah kena).

"Ppl who use photoshop(illustrator etc) loves mac because mac processes up to 40% times faster than PC for graphic applications"

YES - 0
NO - 1
In some parts - 0

only die hard mac fans will say yes

if it can be proven so, apple wouldn't have ditched their old G5 procs and jump ship to intel instead

the only reason why most ppl associate mac with graphics is adobe photoshop = apple (used to be) and the industry got hooked to it ever since

i'll close this thread in a few days' time if there's no other reply
