Thanks all for the comments so far... perhaps maybe except the "switch to paper" comment. ;P (we already use paper also - wow).
In answer to Naim's point; it's now that time when we will require new hardware soon. Originally the plan was to just purchase new high-end PCs, new monitors, etc. We will need to "switch over" to Vista from XP as a minimum, so this means some new software, update artwork files to newer versions, etc.
So with this all in mind, we have the opportunity to consider the switch to Macs also. I used to work on Macs perviously and found that I could work that little bit faster. So I guess the main benifit would be better productivity. I am also wondering if clients prefer to see Macs in a design environment, etc.
We've also been looking at upgrade/rent options (in UK) also, ideally we would like to replace the hardware after 1/2 yrs so we not left to sell old hardware off. Any comments on this also would be great - do any of the studios use agreements, companies for this type of thing?
- First I think the client would (should?) want to see "great work". If a MAC environment adds to that illusion, well...enfocusmedia
