		<description>5 days ago I bought the Apple Mac. Indeed, to meet your needs. If you are traveling a lot, especially the very useful work. Thanks to the internet anywhere you can enter the wireless Internet. I bought a next to the 3g modem. A great product.</description>

		<description>Call me crazy, but I find that Macs slow me down.  I&#039;ve been DTP designing on Macs for the past 2 years, after 8 years on Windows PCs.  Both get the job done, but for me the deal breaker is the keyboard accessible menus on Windows - you can bash Alt + keys to hit menu functions (I mean the ones that *don&#039;t* have keyboard shortcuts) in a fraction of the time it takes to mouse your way through on a Mac.&lt;br&gt;James</description>

		<description>I think I grow up to add my few words on that topic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m 25, and I&#039;m neither PC nor Mac. That is a statement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Few years I&#039;ve been &quot;playing and working&quot; with Photoshop on Windows. I won&#039;t say on PC, because Apple dropped PowerPC and they are PC too.&lt;br&gt;Since 1 or 2 years I&#039;m thinking a lot about starting computer graphics school (or something similar) to get the needed knowledge about so called design basics. Apart from that I&#039;m working with few clients as a &quot;web designer&quot;.&lt;br&gt;For all years I&#039;ve been using Windows based machine. When my thoughts became closer to design I started to see some pluses in Apple&#039;s vision.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everytime i saw my messy desk with monitor and loud pc i was getting feeling that I&#039;m starting to hate it. In fact I hated it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I was looking at Apple machines and its ascethic aswell beautifull design i started realize that maybe there is some connection apple - (and) - design. I started to feel that it&#039;s ascethic and pure design of computers may inspire me. I always liked clean and minimalistic designs. Apple was exactly what i liked. This summer i bought barely used MacBook (early 2009) and pimped it with 4GB 800Mhz RAM aswell as good 500GB hard drive. &lt;br&gt;I installed all software i use (basicly it&#039;s Photoshop) and started to work. I need to mention that before that i was happy Windows XP and really happy Windows 7 (RC) user.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After 2 months I&#039;m really confused.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In theory faster machine (MacBook) than my desktop isn&#039;t that fast as it should be. Super extra stable OSX (Leopard and Snow Leopard) are not that reliable as they supposed to be. Safari crashes and random thinking umbrella on  Photoshop on relative small files (up to 30-50MB) makes me sick of OSX. Another problem is... java and flash. All Java aswell as Flash applications are reminding me that in MacBook fans can spin really fast (thank God for CoolBook to under-voltage CPU).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I must say that battery life, design, accessibility and usability of MacBook is just outstanding, but... I&#039;m confused. Some of You guys said here that the Output (design) doesn&#039;t  have connection with computer (apple or else) but with Input we give. I must say it&#039;s really, really wise. I do agree with it 100%.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I still think that OSX is damn good system, same as Apple machines, but the price we have to pay for this is a pain. I just can&#039;t stand that i can do SAME on Windows 7 with same speed and (i would risk to say) reliability as on Mac but for 1/2 or 2/3 of its price.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Apple&#039;s philosophy of fighting for clients is great, but times where Apple was a synonym of perfect quality are GONE. Super sophisticated package or Alu unibody case or even OSX are not enough to fight Windows 7 and PC&#039;s.&lt;br&gt;Its 2009 year and Adobe Photoshop CS4, old Mac domain, runs faster on Windows 7 machine (maybe because there is 64bit version) - but this is fact.&lt;br&gt;I would even risk to say that actual Apple sales growth is caused mostly because of iPhone sales. I own one too and i love it, but if all will go this way as it&#039;s now it wont be enough to hold me with Apple any longer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Feel free to flame me or discuss.</description>
