Tonie Cox replied to Kyle Regeling's discussion 'Switching to Mac (Is it worth it?)'"I use a Mac mini for everything but AutoCAD. Like Henry C (above) I use Parallels to run the PC version of CAD. For me it was more about what I was used to, but a lot of people don't like the MAC version.

Jason T. Radice replied to Kyle Regeling's discussion 'Switching to Mac (Is it worth it?)'"If you have deeper pockets (not mac deep, though) you can look for what they are calling Ultrabooks.

Hey all,I am still a student and am considering buying a macbook pro as my next computer. I mostly use CAD, sketchup and adobe programs. Has anyone had difficulty switching to CAD on a mac when formerly using a PC? or any sketchup issues?Also because I am a student I will be doing group projects and working on school pc's. Does this cause any issues when sharing files and seamlessly working on projects with others?Any other input would be great!See More
Matt Nicolette replied to Kyle Regeling's discussion 'Switching to Mac (Is it worth it?)'"I prefer PC. When my MAC crashed it became a 2000 dollar paper weight (Contrary to the marketing message MAC's are not immune to problems). When my cheaper and more powerful PC crashed I fixed it as good as new for less than 100…"

Robert Anderson replied to Kyle Regeling's discussion 'Switching to Mac (Is it worth it?)'"Kyle,
