thinking about buying a mac?
 

im thinking of doing it...espically for my music production..what do u guys think ? and which would u recommend? am i better buying from the us or uk?

You going to use programs like Fruity loops and Reason on it?

nah probs get logic to be honest

Why not a pc over a mac though?

To me, I believe that they’re a status symbol.

At best, they are mid-grade components when it comes to ram/processor, and if you need to upgrade them with Apple its ridiculously expensive.

Is it really worth it?

IMO when you go Mac - you never go back

I've used both. Mac are more expensive, programmes cost the earth but for publishing etc they are the Mutts proverbials.

I wish I still had my mac.

:ranger:

Macs are built for what you want to use it for. If you dont know a lot of stuff then they are great. easy to get use to but like other ppl say. Upgrading is pricey and programs are even worse.

Also a lot of the best programs arent made for macs

For Music on a Mac, Professionals use Pro-Tools.

I vote for PC in everything :typing:

Well i'm using cubase currently..and i am debating between getting another i5 and mac..personally i think macs r better..and to be far i think i5s are overpriced..am debating which to go for..to be honest you can just crack mac programs anyway can't you??

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

thinking about buying this

:lol: I just bought an I3 laptop for $329, 500gb hard drive, with 4 gb of ram. You have to look around for deals. I could have bought an i5, but it was $50 more.

yeah i see

All about the deals and Burning is hooked up to the top.

true say rsot

No likey for me. :( :amazed:

Thats a total rip off! dual core the programs you want to use on that will barely be able to properly run..

Have a mac from '07, '09, and just recently bought another one. All run just as fast since day one with no issues. I bought a pc my freshman year at college as was slower than hell in a few months. Mac is the way to go.

Not only that but you can have windows on mac so you got a computer that lasts for years that also runs windows, it's a no brainer.

yeah am gunna get a mac man deffos :)

I bought a macbook pro 5 days ago after my 5th windows laptop died on me...usually when i have coursework/deadlines approaching....gotta say i wish id made the move to a mac sooner!

also if you know someone who is a student...you get 15% off....about £150-£220 depending which model you go for.

You can make multiple user accounts on mac...by running windows?

Yes,,,what i did was install VMWare and then install win7ultimate and made new user accounts within a virtual version of VMWare.

PM me for details...ill tell you how to get all of the above for for £0.00

yeah ive got a mac now..pretty happy with it

Nice to hear.

thanks brah..just getting used to it..its so much faster than windows..by the way do you or anyone know how you can watch hdmi movies on macbook pro?
