There are NO CAD programs for mac’s. [http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2356](http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2356) Post number 4. He starts off good, but ends with a big tirade which is straight fanboism. Some people make me laugh. My machine would smother the living daylights out of his precious Mac. Regardless, as he says, PC’s are more and more being capable of doing the artsy design work that Macs were once known for doing better. You can achieve the same stuff on both platforms now, especially since Mac’s can run Windows. To me, it boils down to cost. I can build a ridiculous machine/laptop for the price of a new high-priced Mac that will surpass it in ALL specs. This is why I recommend Marissa not get a Mac and instead fix/upgrade or purchase a new PC and just keep it clean with what I mentioned in my original post. She’ll save money, and be better off. EDIT: [http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=53077&postcount=30](http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=53077&postcount=30) I just read more of that thread and this guys posts. Basically…he is an idiot and has a shitty PC…and he thinks it’s Windows’ fault. LOL. Typical user. SUE at it’s finest. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mac-advice/249398)._
