Im a newbie to apple pc's. I hv 0% knowlegde on apple. Im curious in which notebook to buy for my designning purpose. Any suggestions?

Depends on your budget mainly.
Some of my friends still working on OS9 machine crunching out Quark layouts.
I know one that using powerbook, one using iMac Core2Duo and another one using macmini G4. They all works.

Just makesure the machine you buy justify to the money you going to make.

welcome .
i am new too ...
and i am enjoying every second on an alive OS ...

@BridgestoneRE711,
Alive OS? Er.. there are 'dead ones out there?

what is alive OS ? it is so double meaning

please define it

OS/2 for one...

If you usually do Adobe Illustrator stuff, any notebook will do.

Do you do 3D design?

3d ah..not really...only ps & illustrator....vector, abstract...etc

That's better. The advantage for you is printing production on Macintosh. That means if you will get accurate colors when send for printing by designing using Macintosh.

The Apple pricing are standard, everywhere you go you will get the same prices unless special offer from the shop. Check the pinned topic in this forum, where you will get the pricing.

Get the white 2.0GHz MacBook.

im just curious..do mac books hang/crash???

have a look at the PINNED thread.

It all depends on how large the file u r working on...sometime if the files are too complicated, even the G5 will hang, as for mac book wont be any better tan G5.

Any1 need an old Mac G3? Pls check out my thread. Thanks

how often do mac book crash??>..does it crash like windows????...How about the processing speed?...can i open many application at once such as PS, illustrator, dreamweaver...etc..

why don't you take a trip to apple center?
or attend the Apple Demo Days.

If u using CS2 or not UB app, it will crash quite often. Since i use CS3, till now i haven't got any crash. Btw, i'm in hacktinosh. I think it's still work the same as "real" mac machine

paiseh ..

i mena alive is the mac OSX feels more active , alive ... than the windows xp .

windows xp is more or less like a cupboard , everything organized in different thing .

MAC OSX makes u feel like your own table .

almost never. make a trip to mid valley and go to the apple store (machines) or the apple store in low yat.. they have the best prices and you can try all the models for yourself.

good luck
