whoaa whoaa.. hey now...security i'll give you... art projects have nothing to do with anything.. i dont use my macbook for any art projects... i will admit the cost more for the same or less HARD DRIVE... BUT.. macbooks and all other apple products come with a price premium... you dont buy any anti spyware software or any software other than your office for mac for that matter... and NO VISTA!
yes they are pricey but WAY faster than any PC for the same price... no im not turning this into a defend the macbook forum because i dont want to get off topic... but for ME its just EASIER to use a mac... i know what im doing and i can do it very well... i'd have to re-learn a PC without all of my shortcuts lol.. i'll get used to it.. nevertheless, we all get a FREE COMPUTER! which in the long run IS pretty awesome
