Macs seem to crash and be all around buggy for me. I also really dislike the interface in comparison to windows.
But it still comes down to preference. I simply go with windows because it's so customizable.
I'm officially done with this thread now guys, this thread can be closed. I went with a Macbook pro because not only will it help with my animation, but also for my school work, and GCSEs next year. I really appreciate all your help guys, but I'm done with this now. ![]()
Good choice. Macs do limit software etc. for brickfilming. But you can have all the good stuff work with Mac, and seeing as macs are big bucks, users should not be afraid to spend big bucks on software. Example, qc900, monkeyjam, helium frog, they don't work on mac, but you can get Dragon stop motion, more expensive cameras, all adobe products, etc. which are all equivalent or the same as high end windows compatible software and hardware. I personally prefer the Mac OS, less buggy, crashes less, and most of all, is much faster. Sometimes i run into limitations, but rarely. One of my biggest irks with mac is that my MP3 isn't compatible, buts its dieing anyway, and I just got an old ipod recently that is almost identical.
My sig says it all, if you interpret it right.

get a mac!!! they are much more easir to use and produces better results when it comes to film-making. they are also more secure and don't get viruses as often as pc. here is my philosiphy of operating systems:
Get a PC if you are doing business stuff and/or gaming
Get a Mac if you are doing film-making and other arty farty things
Get a Linux (which is free) if you are a programmer.
It's funny, i know someone who is so obsessed with linux that he carries it around on a flashdrive and plugs it into a public coputer whenever he needs to use it...
Overall I prefer MACS ![]()
He already bought a Mac. It's done.
People, please stop posting in this thread, the guy bough a Macbook, He's finished with the thread, this has just become a dump site for Mac Fanboys to advertise a computer company. And Nobody had better go after me or Mcoov claiming these people are adding to the thread, because if somebody wanted to hear these people worship Mac computers, they could go to the section on the Apple Website made just to slam PCs.
