They are using Macs

Yep

Not really, I actually started this with the intention to get the Macbook you see on the first page. So the comments here actually change my choice to a normal laptop.

That was a point make indeed but like I said before I've no programs for the mac so the only programs that will run on Mac OS are Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for the rest everything will be done on Windows.
So why should I spend €500 more on the Macbook pro 15 if I won't really use Mac OS?
I'm not being negative or anti Mac here but I want to know how useful it is in my situation to spend €500 more to get a Mac, I haven't got an answer on that.

@Tim, that's why I started this thread to begin with, there are users here on both system so if I say something wrong I'll be corrected.
At least you can't say I'm not polite, I admit I'm wrong and offer an apology.
Not everyone does that and will simply talk around it or ignore it totally and go a way for a week with the hope it's forgotten.

No one replied to Tim so thought I would be so kind, maybe a smile on the end would have make a difference.
Strange thing is though, there was a green sign saying there was a new comment but no one commented before me it seems and sorry Tim I didn't look at the date.

You don't have beans in pots?
And there are many different can openers you know.

Since the school provide Macbooks for other studies I'm not sure what they do with the study I'll do and what options they have. The school is totally Mac based so it might be better to also get a Mac.

What I said there in the part you quoted I mean that I need windows how ever you turn it because I need to use some programs that are either too expensive to get for the Mac as well or they aren't available for it. I've no programs for the Mac so I'm not bound to get a Mac, that's what I meant.
If I would have a Mac at home and not a PC than I would go for the Mac without thinking about it.

Yes I should have read it more carefully, I was comparing this with the same site open on another laptop and I saw this


I assumed the order was the same for all the articles but that does not seem to be the case so thought it was a benchmark for overall performance, my mistake.
But still if I would run wondows on it, it would be just as fast as windows machine with the same specs and those are around the €1000 mile and not €1500+

I rather get a Macbook that's good enough to run Lightroom and leave the heavy editing for home, if I need to get a Macbook from school or decide to get one.

Reading isn't your strongest part is it?

Ah super, thank you.
I just need to give them a call and see what can be done

You must eat beans because they are healthy and spaghetti alone is not

But lets use Apple and Windows now, I've never said that the Macbook isn't a good product.
I said I was worried that a same priced windows machine might be more powerful and basically that was my question.
The only time I got negative about it was that I'm not able to use his full potential because I need to run windows on it most of the time, which then run slower than similar priced machines.

But that's 2007 not really relevant since they updated the model several time

It's seems you're right though it still has very decent performance with windows link
You see this thread is useful

Maybe I don't know because what I quoted was from another course nothing is said with the study I want to follow.
Also like you have mentioned I've said in the first sentence of this thread I think I need an Apple Almighty Danny who knows it all, which course am I going to follow there and does it say with that I'm going to get a Macbook with CS4?

Btw they just called and the course I applied to in Rotterdam didn't had enough students so they pulled the plug, I can start in February or in another location.

Tim you too it seems, just posting here about this and then I need to be the adult when I'm the younger than you or Danny

So because I posted a comment there about the Samsung Wave that whole thread got hot and went to be anti Apple since that's the blame I get shoved in my shoes now.
Get real will you

I've no idea where I said so please link me to it.
And was that little old????

About the Iphone Nexus thread, Danny at the end was saying I was use wrong numbers according to his sources and funny enough when you compare they match but well according to you I'm always the one that's wrong link

The problem is they are excusing me that I got things heated again while that isn't true.
First Danny says Please don't turn this into the usual Mac v PC thread as it's not needed on the first page and on the second page he and polchraine have a heated discussion about prices.
But well things are so one sided.

Blame that all on me

It was Robbie that asked if those are the only two choice and I quoted Robbie's post in agreement and stated a model that might be interested, sadly it was completely the wrong model I had in mind but that's beside the point.

Then it was followed by other members saying what they think are good phones so Danny it is silly to blame what happened there on such an instance that had nothing to do where the thread ended.

Myles Retro is totally hot you know
