Macbook Pro or PC Laptop for Photo Editing ?

我部用了幾年的pc laptop就快打柴，考慮換新機時，唔知macbook pro (好貴) 定係high end laptop (如 i7)好？
旁邊的拍友，搵食同業餘，都係多用 macbook pro 來執相，但用pc laptop (好似我)亦有，專業graphic designer 就點都話用mac，各位大師點睇？從技術和穩定層面，macbook pro 貴得有價值？所謂性價比？定係"型"的形象問題？

if u like "i" products, ofcos u need a mac
if you use picasa or adobe products. pc and mac are the same

i think your question is: i am poor, should i get a mac?
for me, mac is purely an image thing. if you have the money, go for it. if not, why bother

its like buying a gucci handbag or a guess handbag. they are both handbags and they function the same way. if you have the money and you want to show off, buy a gucci

無希望無失望

Macbook Pro is good. The i5 is quad core, and therefore better than any i5 in any PC.

You could get decent i5 dual core for about $800, but durability and ease of use is better on a Mac.

Your call... I equally love my Mac and Thinkpad.

I just got an iMac. It is pretty nice beside there is an learning curve to use a Mac OS.

If you are under a budget, why not consider Mac mini and a ISP monitor? To me, the monitor is most important.

The colour of the monitor on MBP is pretty good for photo edit.
Only the highest end of sony laptop can match the colour.
But if you can consider desktop, then you can get good colour monitor more easily.

No, I need a laptop to work on location shooting and graphic design software like PS and AI.  Desktop doesn't work for me, in this case.
My question is why people paying more for MBP in stead of a high end PC notebook ?  Is this a Must or Need for the professional, in terms of high efficient hardware and software on MBP, or just a show off ?

I know Nikon prime 105 mm macro is expensive but very sharp.  If I need to take good portrait picture for living, I have to break my piggy bank to get one.
