Im a designer, used mac's for over the last 13 years. Im in-house for a very small firm and Im currently bringing my macmini with me to work and home each night. Im not too keen on the idea in the long run.
So, I have to begin the process of convincing the owner to either buy another mini like I have or look at a PC. Im assuming costs will be close for performance with it edging out to the PC on the cost side of the spectrum.
The plus side of running the mac is software. I already have it all. So with that I do print design 90% of the time with maybe 10% video/web.
If I jump ship at work I need it to be fast and multitask well. Typically I run p-shop, illustrator, in-design and bridge simultaneously.
