MAC :
* Built-in support for RAW means you can view supported RAW files without RAW converter
* Stable and no worry of common viruses
* Fast response in graphics
* built.in calibration profiler
* Even 2gb memory lang no problem running CS5 and LR (add more memory will give you total satisfaction)
* You will never look back to PC kung mka gamit naka

Multi-media softwares such CS/LR works/executes faster with MAC system, it got something to do with how the operating system of a MAC is engineered. Spec is one thing, but most laptops these days use just about the same system specs as the other (including MACs). You buy MAC or just about any Apple product not because of the specs sophistication, but the unparalleled experience it brings nga lisud i-explain. You just have to try one hehehehe

If ako maabot sa imong dilemma bro, even the Alienwares isn't enough to sway me to go the other way. Ingon sila once you go MAC your never going back.

worth investing, its like investing in a very good L or N lens...

[inkinian]

i own an imac, mbpro and macair....

- sakto na gi ingon ni michaelocana.....the iOS is a very user friendly samut na if hilig ka photography, more on plug&play.....for photo editing, get the imac.....kuwang ra kaau ang macbook pang editing labi na if pixel-peeper ka or meticuluso ka sa imo photos

there's no turning back... once an apple user, always an apple user...

[bowee]

OT lang...

buying an apple...?

it's not just about the specs alone.. its about buying the brand.. and everyone knows that it aint cheap, even for the brand name sake...

I'm a PC user and will always be a PC user.

Calibrated display? Get a real calibration tool. Mac is no where near the right one if you take into account the ambient light in your workspace.

Specs? With 80k (for example) I can get a much more powerful Laptop and a much more powerful desktop packed with 12gigs of RAM and the latest i7 2600k and ATI or Nvidia *** @ 1gb gddr 5 with a superior AOC lcd monitor. I can play crysis 2, while running a quick encode on a short video I took on my last assignment, switching to my lightroom to find out that it has already finished exported, burned the files to DVD and switch back to Crysis 2 game and not feel a slightest lag. Where's mac at?

Viruses? <-- only noob and careless PC users get infected. Plenty of viruses? It's a consequence resulting from the popularity of the windows OS. Why make viruses for an OS used by the lesser few?

Experience <-- very subjective. I meet people who hate Mac too and this is probably where it will mater most for people. some people love the plug n play feel of Mac. Me, I love tinkering around.

Just don't talk about specs because there's just no way a mac can be better than a PC in terms of specs. That's why the best and most graphics, cpu and ram intensive games can only be found in PC.

For the best overall experience in computing, get a PC. The PC can deliver better hi performance for the same amount of money invested.

about your thread title, is the comparison - mac (book) vs any laptop or a pc within the price range of the mac book?
