| Posted about 1 year ago Hi, nhdesigns07 To answer : Secondly which is better between a Dell XPS and MacBook Pro 17”? MacBook Pro 17”. VS Dell XPS M1710, then, both got 17' screen. At a hardware level, you can end with the same configuration if you customize the Dell, with only a different graphic card. Then It is only a Vista Vs Leopard Battle... Leopard (stock) seems pro, if you want to go for it, then go for it. For web design, you will need the Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, which cost the same on Windows or Mac OS. The only con of having a Mac would be if you design .NET, it would take you a little more work and tweak with Apache, it is more an IIS Vs Apache battle, but, at the end, it is the same.

| Posted about 1 year ago I exclusively use macbook pro 17" for web development. I use text-wrangler for my editor. I run parallels for my winblows testing and run xampp for local development. I love my mac, or more specifically, unix. Using grep, find, cron, and everything else nice about unix gives mac a leading edge over the microsoft blather. If I were to buy a PC, I'd put linux on it. It really is a question of what you are most comfortable with and do you like blue screens? |
