I think getting a PC would be a good first step of recovery.  One can only assume that he has a Mac as a way to make people think he is a good designer.  Perhaps there are some deeper underlying issues that we as a group could help him with in this undying thread.

Never had it.  Blue screen of death is oft user caused. Your wacbook must have crashed again while you were typing this because this is way too short for you.

Lei, I think you got the point.  Read the comments on here.  There are multiple PC users telling you real stories about how their computer has lasted many years with no problems and that they paid a lot less than if they would have bought a Mac.  The angry Mac users (not all are angry) on here are just stating very biased opinions, not facts.  I…[Read more]

But if you doubt my grad student story I seriously question if you were ever in a LA program… ALL of the grad students used ArcMap GIS products at my school. Plus every undergrad has to use it for one studio as well. All I’m saying is that getting a Mac can…[Read more]

Also, PC’s are easier to upgrade. I was able to buy a laptop and use it through my 5 years by simply upgrading my RAM and hard drive. Parts for PC’s are easy to find and cheap compared to buying Mac parts.  Which also leads to being able to have a more powerful machine if you buy the right parts.

AutoCad being available for Mac’s is a huge benefit.  The other bonuses of getting a Mac are: you get to be part of an elitist mentality, your coffee gets served quicker at coffee shops, boot time is faster (not by much), programs start quicker, and printing is a little bit quicker which can be huge during final product time.  But after that t…[Read more]
