Hi

I use a PC for all the CS3 products and I've recently been tempted to look at macs and I thought I'd ask here as I'm guessing most of you have PC's and probably know more about them than the average user/designer.

So what are the advantages of mac over the pc for the Adobe CS3 software.

Are mac's really much faster and less hassle?
 
Yeah they're defiantly less hassle and, imo, run CS3 a lot faster and more reliable.

Advantages - Macs are made for creative design, hence why many film/video broadcasting companies/sound recording studios use them. Same for photographers etc.

Macs are very reliable, no more getting stuck/freezing while loading a huge .tiff.

Unlike the older versions of Adobe software, CS3 runs natively instead of under Rosetta, so it's much more faster.

Try and go to an Apple store to look at the Macs and see what takes your fancy, most of them will be loaded with the CS3 suites so you can try it out for speed.
 
I'd say they'd run CS3 fine, but not if you're after a Mac to use in a business/full time editing suite.

Go with a nice iMac or a MacBook Pro if you want the portability :)

Get extra RAM from a third party though.. Apple's prices are criminal.

As EVH said, stick em in a .dmg. Oh noes "I need a MAC to open that!" "Sure, I'll just swap to it.." ;)

I'm guessing you work in print? (Not read the thread properly if you've said..)
