[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16596737, member: 45161"] I used to work in prepress and that industry's reluctance to switch to PC's is hilarious. Many still believe Macs are faster in those programs despite that not being true for 20 years. My old firm did a feasibility study on switching to PCs in an attempt to lower hardware costs and while PC's then blew the top performing macs out of the water in Photoshop and Illustrator as well as RIP processing they couldn't switch because none of the operators were proficient in Windows. OP, it's hard to recommend a computer based on what you use it for. Windows machines are just fine in terms of longevity, just stay away from some of the super cheap budget brands that utilize lower quality power supplies and supplement software costs with bloatware that will ultimately take the system down with it. That's a problem you don't have to worry about on Macs but then again, you're paying a premium for that. It all depends on your budget and what you plan on using it for. [/QUOTE]
