Hello All,
Just a quick background. I am in a corporate enviroment where I do alot of marketing, web devopment and graphic design. I am currently using a Dell Setup with a few 19" monitors and its ok.
my freelance business is starting to get extremley busy and I would like to have my own setup at home, preferrably with Mac equipment.
I have an older 15" Powerbook G4 and its time for an upgrade. I am planning on getting a full mac setup, since I can run windows for when I am developing Windows Applications in Visual Studio. I dont think its a problem running visual studio on bootcamp:windows xp is it? Hope not
anyways, I am definetley waiting for the new mac book pro to see what it has to offer before I make any purchases.
I was wondernig if anyone has any suggestions on what kind of setup I should go with. I am considernig getting the iMac 24" and then a cheap macbook 13" to use as a presentation tool for customers.
Or trying to see if it would be better to get a Macbook pro 17" and use that as my fulltime everything computer, and get a couple monitors for it.
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe photoshop, and then hopefully I will be able to use Visual Studio 2005 on Bootcamp.
Thanks, any setup suggestions would be greatly appreciated. not sure if a laptop fulltime would work for what I need or if I should look at getting an iMac + cheap macbook.
budget is around $3,000. Would like to spend less but in my scenario I will remake that money through my freelance work.
Thanks!
