Graphic Design's Shopping List
13 years ago
That's right! XD
And what would you expect on that shopping list other than Adobe programs? Maybe a MacBook?
If you guessed MacBook, you are definitely correct!
Up until this point, I've only ever owned a PC. So, since the program required I get a MacBook, I ran out and got one at the Apple store last week. I got the 15inch MacBook Pro, 4GB of RAM, 500GB Hard drive, Intel Core i7, yadda yadda. The price tag was far from pretty, considering I bought my PC at half the cost and it can still out-perform this thing.
While, I admit the computer is really pretty, I think it's pretty much useless to me otherwise. I mean, you guys know I don't use Photoshop for my own artwork. Paint Shop Pro doesn't seem to exist for the Macs. SAI Painter can't run on a Mac without reliability or tablet problems. I've been doing my research...and it seems like a no-go as far as converting this into my main computer. So, a computer for Graphic Design for school only.
But that's fine. I've kinda had a strong disliking for Mac products since I've had my iPhone anyways. I'll dual boot this thing in the future, but for now, I'll stick to learning Max OS. =3
SO!!!
How's everyone doing? ^^

So, for me...it's only use is for Graphic Design stuff for school. Nothing personal.
No.
I agree with you, yes, but I have to have one.
So what's the school's beef with the PC? Or is it a way to make the students spend more? I don't understand.
As I said, in terms of my own artwork, the Macbook is a huge setback. I can't even use it for my own artwork.
Good luck in the program, though! ^^
