So, I am now in the postition to buy a new system. I work on a PC while I am at work and I work on a mac at home. I specialize in print, however, when necessary I do the design portion for the web and our developers and production guys add the function. I will be using the new system for work and am unsure which way to go. mac or pc? hope someone can help. thanks.

Switching back and forth like that everyday, surely you must have a favorite? (*whispers: mac)

I'm in a similar situation. Although I prefer Macs I chose a PC for work b/c everyone I work with is on a PC so it's just easier to integrate. But if you are mostly doing print, definitely go for the Mac.

I prefer the mac too. I looked into the new MacBook Pro today at the apple store and the guy seemed like a bit of a pud. He said, "I'd just buy a Mac G5 and be done with it..."
Personally, I don't see the point in buying old technology considering it won't be supported for very long. Anyhow, I did learn that you can run windows on your MacBook Pro.

While I'm a mac fan, I wouldn't recommend getting a macbook until the next generation comes out. The dual booting functionality is definitely a huge plus, but if I were going to invest that much money, I'd wait until the technology is a little more refined

So, now i am leaning towards getting teh new Macbook Pro and am wondering if i run OS X 10.3 will it be running slower? not so much?
Man, I really don't want to regret dropping that much coin on something, or waiting. I'd like to stop having to go to the office since I have teh option of working from home.

I'm using Parallels on a MacBookPro just to run Outlook/Exchange, and to test in Windows IE...works fine (although I wish they would add drag-and-drop between the environments). Adobe apps slowish, but its so versatile overall.
