My father-in-law's 17" Dell Insperon was in a rollover in his construction van with no protection, two tons of equipment smashed around on the laptop. In the end its was in pieces, after being put together again by my Brother-in-Law, its now ready for him to watch Game of Thrones on HBOgo tonight.Originally Posted by GT3000

It's nice to see people actually realizing macs are good for design tasks such as digital art, video editing, and audio production. Personally, I know a lot of software made for these tasks (such as the Adobe Suite) has the interface, shortcuts, everything designed around Apple first and foremost, then they make a PC version. I didn't know this back in Middle School and always wondered why PS on my mac looked amazing and PS on the school computers looked like paint with more buttons :P
I have no problem with PC's and I know how to use them, but I'll always be a mac guy, but that being said, the gaming aspect of them is annoying and why I own two consoles.
In my experiences, most Digital Art companies are moving away from Macs, I'm a media animator. Oddly enough, most state colleges teach PC repair along with Animation and Digital Art, allowing users to fix their own PC if the need arises, whereas, a Mac is going to most likely always need Mac support. The biggest Killer is the main game modeling/design software, 3DStudio Max, doesn't have Mac native support, and likely never will. Don't forget, Adobe was just in a epeen completion with Apple, expect the much better PC support from Adobe to keep continuing now.
