Let’s just face it. Macs seriously cost an arm and a leg, but they’re every person’s dream system, especially for designers. They are never affordable wherever you go, even here at Apple’s homebase.
Anybody— just anybody— would seriously want a Mac. Even I want to have a Mac. I’ll even have to go so far as to having a mock Mac just so I can show the world that even a frugal person like me can also have a Mac. :(
Hello August! I know I’ve mentioned before that I would blog myself more often, but, sometimes, especially in the summer, real life and other interests (sometimes) just occupy your time and all of a sudden, a month’s passed and you start to wonder, where did all that time go? House Renovations We’ve already been planning […]
Whoa! Where’d I disappear to? I mentioned in my previous post that I’ve got plenty of plans to share for this blog, such as more photos, more blog entries, and of course, the beginning of the monthly column version of At Home. However, as some of you know, I’m a devout Roman Catholic. Lent was just […]

I think I’m one of those few crazy people who has never wanted a MAC related computer (or anything for that matter Iphones… ew!), but that is mostly because I am a CIS nerd. I have heard of several network admins using IPADs to remotely launch and monitor their server environments; however, I have never been particularly fond if them personally (I would prefer and ANDROID operating system mobile tablet, I feel as though they multi-task better.)
That isn’t to say that I think MACs are horrible computers, I just feel as though if you do not do much graphic design work you really aren’t getting the most bang for your buck. But I will admit that IBooks are far more ascetically appealing than your average laptop. ;-)

LOL Hi Katherine! Welcome! :smile:
You do have a point there, actually that entire writeup was more of a sarcasm caption to the picture I found since I can’t come up with anything witty LOL. :D I do own an Android OS-powered mobile tablet and it really works wonders for me as it has what I’ve wanted in an ideal tablet (reader and wi-fi, don’t really care about everything else LOL).
I’m not a huge Apple fan either. I used to own an iPod Nano (I actually won it at a festival raffle LOL) but it doesn’t really keep the same high quality of the mp3s that I upload in there so I gave it to my brother instead. Half of my family owns an iPhone (dad, bro and sis), I’ve tried/tested it before myself, never really fond of it, so I went for a Blackberry instead. I own a 6-year-old laptop and despite that it’s slow and tends to freeze here and there, it’s still very functional and loving it. Though pretty soon I will have to save a lot of money to buy a new one in case it breaks down sooner or later.
In terms of MACs, I think it’s just for graphic designing purposes that I would use the MAC for, otherwise I’d still stick to PCs. Every tool I’ve used for web designing are all old school, but still compatible and functional. :grin:
