I'm not happy that they are switching to intel either.


My husband is a computer programmer and works with a lot of graphic designers. Both my husband and the majority of graphic designers he works with use macs.

I use a mac too, just for general use, but I'd NEVER go back to a PC. Macs are stable, you never have problems with them, they never freeze or crash. They are built so much better in general. They last longer too- they age much better than a PC. Because they are built better there are very few viruses that will affect them.

The iMacs are nice, my sister has one. One great thing about them is they take up so little space, there is no tower! They are more expensive than a PC, but you are paying for quality.

Justin has a powerbook, which may be good for you with school because you can take it to class with you.

The Mac mini, might be more affordable, but they don't come with the monitor, mouse, or keyboard. I haven't yet used a Mac mini.

PM me if you have any questions, I'll have Justin help you with anything you need.
