5) I need some info on the differences between a PC and Mac for designers, or if there are any at all.

Exactly. From both parties.

What did you expect out of this thread?
- Raniator0
Good unbiased advice I'm betting?!
- JesseJensen0
You obviously haven't been around for too long, although Jaline has. I don't think it's got much to do with computers at all.

Dude, I know exactly how this place works. But sometimes... only sometimes... people are actually fucking helpful.

Okay, so I called like 3 different times before making up my mind and asking for a refund just for the HD space that I ordered. They gave it back, plus the expedited shipping charge for the inconvenience. So now I have my system and can just upgrade the HD myself.

Jaline, I advise you to upgrade to a 7200 rpm drive, they're a tad pricier but do make a difference. The biggest of these are 160GB I think

j,
ill give you my old macbook (g3 beige tower) if youd like. I guess its not a macbook, but it runs 9.3 without flaw.

Jesse, you were the first person to post anything negative in this thread.
- JesseJensen0
The truth hurts, baby.

I just got my Macbook today and I discovered that it came with the 120 GB HD instead of the 160 GB.
So now I have to return the entire thing and I'm pissed. I won't even be here next week, so I have no idea what's going to happen or how long it'll take (still waiting for the Apple Care email that will tell me how to proceed with sending my new machine away).

Thanks a lot, Ross.
I appreciate the offer :)
I'm still thinking about it though.

Get it and put Windows on it as well.

All the dudes at my work run Vista and OSX at the same time on their powerbooks. Both systems boot at the same time then you just flick between them. You can even copy in one then past in the other. They share the same desktop and files etc.
I'm waiting for 10.5 then grabbing one.

what is it that you do that requires 160gb diskspace?
no offense but every time i come here, i always see your posts in almost every thread.
are you a motion graphic designer or something?
- Jaline0

iamnotyourgirl, I have a lot of media that I have to store somewhere. I have an external drive but I prefer having some of it on the internal.
And no, I'm a web designer. So I don't need too much space. But I feel that 120-160 is standard now.

I'm with slappy! But gonna see how bootcamp runs, heard it's part of 10.5 and I'm sure it will just have everything parrallels does

I wouldn't run Parallels unless I had more RAM. It lags a bit.
