| 1126771 | 2010-08-11 22:53:00 | Personally I have never found any advantage to using a Mac, but some people prefer the style / interface etc. That's more a personal preference, than any real advantage, though. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1126772 | 2010-08-11 22:57:00 | A lot of Graphic designers learnt on Macs at school hence a more widespread use in commerce. I don't believe Macs have better graphic cards per se though. |

| 1126774 | 2010-08-11 23:18:00 | maybe the mac os is color aware than windows? they have colorsync ... the screen i heard is pretty good, some say it is a bit glossy but then again you could buy mac / pc monitors in the pricetags of $6k and up .... a no. of photo friends have gone to mac's incl some IT individuals. they may not be techs. maybe more IT business analysts or programmers ... |

| 1126776 | 2010-08-11 23:42:00 | I think it has more to do with the software side of things. Yep the hardware on the new eMacs is no different from the average mid to high end PC. Intel processor, Nvidia graphics... |

Apple cinema displays are high quality, but you can get HP and Dell monitors which use exactly the same panel by LG for less than half price (HP) to a third off (Dell). Windows 7 is colour aware and can have colour profiles loaded so you can calibrate your monitor with your printer output. I wouldn't say Macs are more for IT businesses or programmers; I am a developer and I have a PC at home. At my work, we use linux and windows. I thought Photoshop on mac would be the same as on windows? I know mac has Final Cut which is quite powerful, I don't know of any PC equivalent... |
