[Hidden-tech] looking for recommendations for graphics PC

Wed Dec 6 11:11:57 EST 2006

Dear Tom, Your response came in the nick of time as we are about to buy a
new laptop for our business to develop portable slideshows, make and
distribute our own promotional dvd's and electronic newsletters, and just do
a better job with print graphics.  However, we will probably need to share
files (and certainly printers) with our Dell desktops.  Any thoughts on
compatibility?  The ads say they have solved the compatibility issue.  'Zat
true?

Reva,

If your husband is doing creative work, there's nothing that beats an Apple
(I'm very familiar with both platforms). For a laptop, I would highly
recommend the MacBook Pro (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro). I'm convinced
it's the best (laptop) computer the world has to offer. 

If you already have a nice monitor and want something other than a laptop I
would suggest the mac mini (http://www.apple.com/macmini). It's a
fantastically amazing little white square-thingy than has a really fast dual
processor, can burn dvds/cds and comes with the amazing iLife (itunes,
iphoto, idvd, iweb, imovie) software package...(I bought my parents one for
christmas) 

and I'm not even an apple representative...but I'm thinking about it :} let
me know if you have more questions. I'd love to help you make the "switch". 

Regards,

Hi all,

            My husband is a photographer & needs a new PC. He has a good
monitor, which he'll be keeping. I'm used to spec-ing out business PC's, but
don't know much about the requirements of programs like photoshop, or
digital camera interface software. Anybody have any recommendations? Does a
laptop make any sense? We can't get anything better than satellite where we
live, so I was thinking that for big uploads he could go somewhere with
reasonable internet access speeds if he had a laptop. This may well be a
gift, so if you know him, don't mention this posting!

            TIA, Reva
