Also, as previously mentioned in this thread, you hear many people saying "real designers use mac's".
Most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. A real designer (or intellectual) would understand that your computer is just a tool to reach your desired outcome, xp, mac whatever.

listen you guys, it is true what they say about macs. i used to be a pc guy and no one liked me. and my designed sucked. then i switched to a mac and now the ladies can't get enough of me. it's good to use a machine that actually works because things on pc just don't work. you switch it on and there's nothing there! i never have that problem on a mac. oh, and i am now an award winning designer. and a total wanker who thinks that the machine i use has an effect on my work.

I hope Apple will sell OSX as a stand alone OS that can be installed on any computer, one day...

Don't be a douche-bag... PCs suck. All my friends bitch about their probs with PCs. I just bought the new 17" MAcbook Pro, runs like a champ. I have a 5 year old 17" Macbook Pro that also still works great! Never had any problems. Just because your A button pops off doesn't mean your computer sux, it means you bang on the keyboard like the Incredible Hulk.

wow - I had a g3 ibook for 4 years with no problems. (i actually still have it and it works pretty well, just runs slow with all the new software. I now use a 2 year old macbook pro with no problems at all.
Sounds like you just treat your computer poorly.
I've never seen a dell that hasn't taken a shit on it's owner.

honestly, this is not a very beautiful machine either, not really sure where Apple got the reputation as having beautiful product design outside of the ipods.
Lian Li makes cases that look similar and some would say better than the MacPro aluminum tower cases. And in all reality a laptop is a fucking laptop. but these things were fucking hideous:
Looks like a panini press from Walmart.- I love the iphone though before you fanboys get your thongs twisted.DrBombay
- i think at the time these designs were unique. the panini machines ripped them off later.emukid
- unique doesn't automatically mean good design though.DrBombay
- the laptops and macpro cases are understated, these were gaudy.DrBombay
- are you kidding? that shit was crazy hot in the 90s. they were already in my design history books in schoolscarabin
- you cant make me like them :DDrBombay

Take it in to Apple and have them look at it? Did you buy Applecare?

Stop the crazy talk. Apple products might break occasionally but the PC is already broken when you get it.

i was once working at a design studio and there were 2 new designer jobs going, both good jobs, both well paid.
A woman rang up and asked how she should apply, after some chattin my boss mentioned to her that we use windows machines.
She seemed shocked by this and over the phone she said she doesn't want to work in a windows based design team. To which my boss replied saying that surely the computer you use is merely a tool to reach an outcome, particularly when the applications are identical. She refused to apply.That is a creative who will not get very far.
About half the design agencies ive visited use windows OS.- wonder if he applied, http://www.qbn.com/t…jerseyred
- good on her!must_dash
- lol must, :PHombre_Lobo
- me either, I wouldn't apply, actually that shows the oposite, it should be the designer to choose not the other way around...what do u want? Win or Mac?Elfangio

I'm not an apple fanboy either....but jesus....what did you do to it?
That simply is not normal
Are you sure you didn't shit on it then throw it out of a moving vehicle?

i have a 12" g4 powerbook that was my primary machine. built like 30+ magazines with it, countless print stuff, websites, music, video ripping, blah blah. basically i tortured the poor thing. ran like a sherman tank until the third party ram finally fried and it wigged out. i pulled that out, runs like a sherman tank. i use it now as a backup and for surf the interweb around the house, etc. love that lil' bastard.
so i don't know what you mean by 'overrated' really... and you know what though? sometimes shit breaks. i bet there's someone out there who has their f430 in the shop due to a blown oil gasket... and some other guy is complaining right now at dunkins because his donut has a hole in it. and i bet zzzzzzzzzzz......

I believe PC users understand computers better than mac users. You could build a quad core machine, with 8 gb of memory, 1 tb hard drive, and a bunch of bells and whistles for a fraction of what a mac costs. They may not be sleek, sexy, shiny, deer in headlight caught, works of art but the inside is diesel.

speaking of ferraris... some say the enzo overrated. mainly due it's price tag and pharrell. an amazing piece of machinery though right? well imagine the poor bastard who smelled 'something funny' while enjoying a nice afternoon boot through the vineyards. pulls over, 20 secs later this is his enzo... now that's something to complain about. whoops.
- nice grammers. one day i will learn to read it before posting it.prophet0NE
