RABid Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 +1, those Rain systems are badASS. They make the only quad-core laptop that I'm aware of. If you can afford to buy a Macbook, use that $ to get a Rain Livebook instead. HP also makes a quad-core laptop. I bought one a few months ago with dual 360GB drives and 18" screen. Around $1000 less than the closest MacBookPro. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridog6996 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Nothing against Macs, but I think a lot people assume they're better because they cost more. That's actually a real marketing tactic: increase perceived value by making your price higher than the competition, not lower.

mate stubb Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'll tell you one thing that is far, far superior on the Mac: the display. I recently switched to a Macbook Pro for my development tasks, and find the display to be incredible. After years of looking at Windows displays that manage to be both blurry and jaggy at the same time, I find I can dial the screen resolution WAY up and these old eyes can read much smaller fonts without tiring.

Geoff Grace Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think some of that may be due to the font smoothing feature of OS X. Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Where's all this Macimosity coming from? (animosity+Mac) I'll tell you one thing that is far, far superior on the Mac: the display. Yep. I don't know if you have their new screen, but the new iMac has a new LED screen with resolution higher than HD, and a new multi-touch wireless mouse/wireless keyboard. And I thought the previous 24" LCD looked great. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridog6996 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Windows has a font smoothing feature as well, and it may not have been enabled. When I discovered that setting in Windows XP, at any rate, it was not, so I'd assume it's not by default (for some reason). Macs have traditionally had the edge in the display department overall, though, I'll grant that. That's why everyone in graphic design, video production, etc, uses Macs. The gap is much smaller now, however, especially since Apple and PC manufacturers are mostly using the same graphics chipsets.

Mark Schmieder Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Tribalism; that's all it is. Why do so many humans feel compelled to "take sides"? I think it's based on the fear of winding up on the wrong side in a battle to the death. Hence the anxiety, but the fear of winding up roadkill in the middle of the road.

I've said this before here and I'll say it again: Ginger and Mary Ann Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
