So, I'm that kind of person who really into graphic/digital design and web design. I'm an amateur photographer so my computer is full of photos. I edit them, etc with PhotoShop (I need legal version plz) I'm in the process of purchasing a Wacom tablet, yada yada yada.
I currently don't have a computer of my own (sad). This computer is great, but since I share it with the family it's not a good comp for my works. I have a lot of photo's and .psd files. Would you guys be willing to help me find a computer that would be best for my interests? (Hard drives, etc etc) I love MACs, but I don't want one. I know they're great for graphic designs and such, but I also use the computer for daily things. Surf the net, chat etc. I'm waaaay, too used to the PC. So I'm looking for a great PC. What should I be looking for? Would it be cheaper to just buy a great one or just start from scratch? I feel like a newb. (Oh, I am one, lulz.) |

The best computer for graphic/web design is a Mac. Any Mac. You can surf the net, chat all you want on a Mac, and it would take you maybe a day to learn it all if you're a little bit slow.
If you don't want a Mac, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should've said that you want a good all-round computer, instead of one good for graphic design. btw Macbook Air is a piece of shit. |

In turkishdog's defense, I believe that s/he wants a computer that is more affordable. Macs are not really affordable for what you get, and they are not as customizable unless she gets a mac pro. The new iMac seems affordable, however it is not customizable in case s/he might want to add some extras to the computer later on. However, the Mac Pro is more customizable in case an parts need to be upgraded, I believe. I may be wrong on this.
Most, if not all, PC desktops can be upgraded with extra parts. Technological advances become more efficient and prices will drop, so upgrading parts come with ease in PCs. However, I do agree with Gigi and plenty others that macs are a good choice as they are designed for designers and the like. |
