I've been using a 14" mac ibook as my laptop (in conjunction with my imac G5 desktop) for the past year and I can not say enough good about it. Macs are built for people who work with images. It is the only way to go. Trust me on this. I used to use and teach pc computers and you couldn't pay me to go back to a pc. Their interface is awkward, cumbersome and challenging to use by comparison. Do yourself a great kindness and consider going to mac.
They're not worth anywhere near the price difference; and they're hard to upgrade and consequently have short lives (or, more commonly, Mac users are working with older equipment). They don't work too well on networks in my experience. It's harder to find help on them (and Mac users seem to need help as often as PC users). A number of useful graphics programs don't run on them. And, to the perceptions of most users, the interfaces are identical. Awkward and cumbersome, yes; but the same on both. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
