Thanks guys for all the information!
As far as Mac goes. If i was starting over, i would have started with mac from the beginning, but i cant now. My sign program is for PC, and i am not about to spend another $1600 on it.
Right now i have a desktop that i rarely use. And i got the laptop so i could bring my work home and work on layouts and what not where ever i am. Its a pain sometimes, but worth it. I would say my price range is no more than $1500 but i would rather keep it around $1000.
Whats with the dual core processor? is that better than Pentium?
Keep all the info coming! This is a huge help
Thanks again!
