Honest By Catch got a grant and I have money to get a new workstation and laptop. Many years ago I loved Mac and I am thinking it's time to go back.


Im really looking for real experience issues. MAny claim software problems but under questioning it's mostly reputation but not experience.

I use Microsoft Office and Adobe and this must continue.

If the price premium isn't an issue I'd get the mac myself. I put a copy of Office 2008 Professional on my wife's Macbook and it's quite nice.

Can't you run os x on vmplayer?

Yes!!

Vmware - OSx86 (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware)

If you're getting just one machine... Unless you need Mac specific apps like Final Cut, just go with a 64-bit Windows7 PC. Way cheaper and about as efficient.

If you have money to burn are buying a separate desktop and laptop (don't know why you would need to), then I'd get a Win7 Desktop and a Macbook Pro. I've stopped using Microsoft Office products and use Open Office or Google Docs instead. You can utilize Dropbox to easily sync files between the two machines.

Decision has been made and executed...

Office workstation is the 21.5 inch iMac, 3.20 processor, 2x2GB RAM, 1 TB

Laptop is the 13.3" MacBook Pro, 2.4 processor, 2x2GB RAM, 250Gig

I really really wanted the MacBook Air (portability and cool factor) but with only USB, no sd card slot, no cd/dvd and most of all compatable cost to what I bought...the choice was clear.

Now I just have to pray all my files can get saved from the Gateway Laptop and the 200 Gig external drive that both #^&#^&#^&#^& the bed last week

Thanks to all for the input.
