I worked at Best Buy for a min, and in regard to pure hardware I always told people you couldn't go wrong either way. I do notice that its mandatory that students at SCAD ( Savannah school of Art and Design one of the top art schools in the Country and maybe world) own a Mac, I assume that it's because thats what the people use to teach with. I already know that PCs are just as reliable, but would owning a Mac make life easier if I did want to get into Graphic Design?
I`m thinking about starting my own business just like every other person, I plan on sharpening my programming skills by teaching myself Java and maybe another language, do some Web Design, creating Apps, etc. Pretty much I`m trying to do this just because it feels good to be knowledgeable of things, it looks great on the resume, and hey you can make a decent side hustle.
I own a decent Sony Vaio that has an i3, Nvidia graphics card with 256 mb memory, etc, but hell I own an iPad, iPhone,iPod and i might as well own a Mac to get that full Apple Cult experience lol.
The thing I like about Macs is that I could install Windows on it (if Apple made it where you could install OSX via a virtual Machine it would be a wrap, oh well.)
What do you guys think?
Bang for your buck the iMacs seem to be the best deal, but I've kind of been leaning toward a 15 inch joint and using an external monitor when I`m at home, but I just don't know how I feel about dropping 2 stacks on a computer smh (solid state drive drives price through the roof).
Thoughts?
