User opinion needed PC / MAC

[flatflip]

OMG.... its too soon to have this thread again.

This is funny, and usayit, I like your post's but it reminds me of my all-time favorite post from a decade ago at the professional disc golf association site. It was just another lame / interesting / controversial thread, and it was dying. Then the biggest hater posts this; "let this thread die, let this thread die", and revives the thread. I'm still laughing.

Thanks again for all the great advice and suggestions. :thumbup:

Advice? OMG, now I'm embarrassed. You said "opinion needed".

Thanks a lot for all the reviews and varying opinions. I guess from what I've seen to most it's just a choice of personal preference. If money wasn't an option I would go with the i5 or i7 iMac but I think I'll go for the i7 PC and invest in a a good LED full HD monitor to do the photo editing and run another one next to it. That's one other advantage for me seeing it has dual HDMI outputs and my camera also records in HD.

Is an LED HD display for television? Sounds like your going to be doing mostly video, rather than stills.

It's my understanding HD video has less resolution than still photographs have.

If you put a gun to my head. Out of the two you posted I would go for the PC. Not because I hate Mac. I love Mac and I'm responding to this thread on my macbook pro but because the PC spec is better for the money you want to spend. The amount of RAM in the mac you posted is not good. My macbook pro came with 2G and I popped in 4G as soon as I could. Photoshop seems to use an obscene amount of RAM. I recently added bootcamp and win7 to my macbook because a few web applications I had to use were IE only so I feel I have the best of both worlds.

Mac. That's it.

Just run LINUX and quit complaining.

I've been running macs my whole life (since the apple IIc) and I have NEVER gotten a virus.

Because Apple has had such little market share (they almost went out of business in the 80's it got so low), it hasn't been worth the hackers time or effort to write malicious code for Apple computers over the years.

So the fact you've not had problems with a virus or other malware isn't about the quality of Apple computers over the years, but because so few people use Apple computers.

are you kidding me???....:lmao:

I currently manage over 200 UNIX server and i really dont see why you would use linux/unix on a damn workstation. you cant run **** without having to install all the cross application platform out there.

Here, I adjusted my post so it's more obvious to you.

Like people who want to blame the camera for their shoddy pictures, there's probably just a lot of ignorance driving people to one conclusion or the other.

I can tell you after 12 years of building my own PC's though, I've never had anything significant happen that made me want to pay an obscene amount more for a Mac.

You could probably find someone locally to build a better PC, for a comparable price, though. I wouldn't buy either.
