Something i can sneak into school without worrying it may snap because it's less then an inch thick, and something i didn't waste 2500 on if i lose it

Something small and cute, Laptops are overpriced too

I'm still holding the ban card

Yeah, but that skinny arsed laptop is sweet! Yes, it's pricey, but it'll drop as soon as everyone else jumps on the bandwagon and copies Apple :^).

My point in case... has anyone else noticed how many 'touch screen' devices have suddenly appeared since the iPhone & iPod Touch have been around :^)

At least we can comfortably say that Apple innovate in the IT industry. MS, while claiming to innovate, rarely do.. they just buy! :^)

The Macs I had that were crashing were crashing while I was using Adobe Illustrator most of all but often Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver...yknow the programs they're supposed to run better than a PC.. I didn't try and do anything fancy on the Macs. They failed at performing simple tasks why would I push it?

I'm not claiming that PC's are better or anything, I'm claiming Macs are far from what they're cracked up to be. They have their own markets and their own users but Macs have fanboys PC's don't. I never tried to play games on a Mac all I used were assorted design programs and it cracked the s***'s all the time

Don't make the assumption staurt that i am going to buy this tomorrow. I get my PC because it's nice, big screen, and it's in my room and it's what i need/want.

This laptop would be nice as something i could just take around on small trips, not take to school and design homepage banners ni lunchtime (ps, check out the new one we just put up)

Dang good points. My phone has been out of action for three days, (broadband's ok though) and I'm loving it. It can stay off for all I care. And I hardly use a mobile. I prefer email, I can respond when I want!!

So what was crashing? Photoshop, Illustrator etc, or OSX? In my daily experience of OSX, the operating system itself rarely crashes, but the programs do! That's not Apple's fault. That sounds more like Adobe's issue.

In Pre-OSX days, it was well known that if something like Photoshop spat it, then it would take down the whole computer (much like IE still does :^). With OSX, if Photoshop crashes, OSX doesn't. My wife (a graphic designer/illustrator) will vouch for this! If you were running Photoshop on early OSX under the classic environment, this may have been another issue relating to the classic environment and OS9.

But having had Mac's in the house for 15 years, and acting as support tech for my wife, I can assure you that in heavy daily use of Creative Suite.

Not much use for professional designers though. It doesn't have some fairly critical features required for print work.

I agree with Cham, the Air is a piece of over-rated, overhyped, expensive garbage. I'm not gonna pay $2500-$4500 for a skinny and terribly under-featured notebook. Mac's DO crash, (i can easily make my mac crash on purpose) and so do PC's (but with DEP and SFP i cant crash them on purpose, except by downloading a virus or overloading the memory) and so does Linux. dont get me wrong, i use them all and love them all, but Mac's DONT "JUST WORK", they too need configuration to get it working the way I want, its just that OS X doesn't show a wizard or setup on first boot, while PC's do. Mac's are NOT more secure than windows, if anything windows is more secure with the amount of firewalls and protection on them, its just that Mac's are less popular, thus less of a target for virus writers and hackers. i don't like or agree at all with those mac ad's they are wrong, period. I grew up with mac's but I find myself more effiecient and on the job with windows. I've had PC's for 5 years and have never gotton a virus or a hack attack. Please, dont get me wrong, i love them both, but i'm sick of apple and apple fanboys picking at Windows and PC's, I dont see Microsoft picking at Mac's, hah! Microsoft even makes software for mac's while apple, wrongly picks at Windows, while half of the statements (in the ad's and made by fanboys) are blatently untrue.

Completely agree with that death_bee

And texnick if that is the case and its only actually OS crashes that count as crashes, then XP and Vista never ever crash. How have you taken a whole system down with IE? Why do you even use IE I should be asking.

Now lets put this into perspective, OS crashes on a Mac is practically the equivalent of a gaming console crashing, they software for their own hardware! How could you compare that to Windows who have to make an OS that runs on just about limitless hardware combinations? A Macs own software crashing on its own hardware would be embarrassing. And yeah Illustrator HAS crashed it to the point I'm not going to stare at that stupid colourful wheel any longer. If I lose responsiveness of the system for over 2 minutes then thats counted as a crash. That Apple Alt Escape or whatever the Ctrl+Alt+Del equivalent is didn't save it either.

Just stop acting like they're so fantastic, they're no better than Windows, seemingly even at the things they're supposed to do better.

I totally agree. The big OS' are no better than one another, Skarteh's right, for a mac to crash on its own hardware would be embarrasing( and it does happen), windows might crash because of the limitless amount of software and hardware available. You have to at least praise Windows for having the great compatability that it has.

Oh please. Microsoft brought that on themselves. If they are unfairly going to enforce businesses to put their OS on every computer, then they have to support it don't they. Or more importantly, they don't. The 3rd party companies write drivers for their own hardware.

I don't touch IE, it's a POS!

If they are no better than each other, then you tell me how I can have two computers in my shop that say otherwise. My Macbook Pro that I do EVERYTHING on, except run the software required for my shop, that hadn't been rebooted in nearly three weeks until last night, or my BRAND NEW Vista PC that blue screens on a shutdown, and required a repair of the installation the day it was delivered. And it's running a single, fairly light-weight program.

How you can relate a Mac to a console is a joke. A console does one simple task. For what it's worth, my 360 locks up more frequently than my Mac!

I am not acting that Mac is better. I am speaking from my experiences over 23 yeas in IT. And they are my opinions. If you don't like it fair cop. But to me, I will choose Mac over Windows every single time, without exception. So your experiences are bad. Fair cop, everyone has bad experiences. But I suspect there will be more to your problems than just the OS crashing. For example, you are blaming the OS for Illustrator crashing it? I mean, for someone to put that point across is pretty lame.

Kudos: 522

Mates: 21

You can't even begin to compare that with IE, because Illustrator is a 3rd Party program. IE, is so tightly integrated with the OS that you can't even uninstall it.
