Trapped by my pc!

+2

I currently have a pc, and I really want to purchase a mac but I have become a servant of autodesk products (Max, Maya, and Revit)...

Somebody please say something to pacify me

parallels and/or bootcamp are your friend...

or this website where you can locate the mac version of some programs...

'I really want to purchase a mac'

all modern macs can run windows and osx quite happily. There are a number of ways of doing this.

a mac is nothing different than a PC clone now.

if you really want run the x86OsX project on your current PC to pacify yourself

or load the BlackXP version of windows that looks like OSX

One of my studio mates bought a Mac in the beginning of our 2nd year studio, and I was talking to him the other day and he told me that he has never even opened the mac side of his comnputer - his excuse is because all his software that he uses is on his windows side...

then what would be the point of buying a mac......because its cool


really lame.....

I have an HP.....works great no problems..... and its not a bad looking computer....

dell is big and bulky,.,,,,and way overpriced as well...

I recommend HP

vmware fusion is the option... i left PCs a year ago... i haven't regret it any second, and i use rhino and autocad extensively... also if ur "in the state of mind" to switch to MAC stop feeling trapped by the PC software, there's plenty of softwares out there for architecture which have MAC versions... dont think the only way to do architecture is thru autocad or something like that, free your mind and buy u a MAC

and u will never have to restart ur crappy PC again, thats priceless

P.S.1 there's MAYA for MAC

irhino3d.com are you beta testing the MAC Rhino V MADianito ?

my preference was Toshiba before they went to wide screen only with that thumb print reader
now it would be Asus

If your up for it, dual boot windows/osx86 on to your pc. saves shelling out for expensive mac hardware
