Hi all
What I want to do with whatever new computer I buy
- Photoshop
- Web Design
- Flash
- Movie editing/DVD authoring
I bought a Dell Inspiron 9400 1.83G 1g of ram 17" screen dual core laptop in March. Then Boot Camp came out ( Boot camp is interesting to me because I own PC versions of Photoshop/Flash/Dreamweaver). I returned the laptop (just 2 days before the 30 day was up!). I got a full refund of $2120 Canadian.
I was going to get a MacBook Pro 1.83Ghz core duo, then I realized that portability is not super important to me.
So I looked at an iMac 20" 2.0Ghz core duo at apple.ca and added 2G of ram upgraded the video card to the 256mb radeon card and 250g hard drive. Was approx $2500
…lol…then I thought hey, maybe I can get a really good PC for that much
So I went to Dell and looked at an XPS 3.0Ghz dual core with 320 gig hd 2 g of ram 512mb ati card 19" screen in it was about $2600 ish.
What the hell should I do? Any input would be great. These prices are all Canadian. Also the reason I was looking at a mac is the dual boot capability and possibly a transition into MAC versions of all my software as I hear Macs are better for multimedia.
I have $2120 canadian burnin a hole in my pocket and dont mind spending a little more to get a nice computer.
I am writing this post from the computer I currentlty use wich is a p4 ht 3.0Ghz with 1g of Ram and a nvidia 6800.
And theres my life story…:puzzle:
