phi Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 On intel mac you can do everything. The Best tools you need are: No Virus Scan Firewall: LittleSnitch Office: MS Office 2004 Burning: Toast Multimedia: Built in (iTunes,QuickTime,DVDPlayer) Creative: Adobe Suite (not native yet, but soon) + Aperture (testing yet) ProVideo,Mastering: Final Cut Studio one of the most important is PARALLELS! Its a Virtual Machine, with VM Processors it runs nearly native a Windows in your OSX. If you want to forget about the rest and use a Windows App (I'm using PSpice electronic CAD) press Alt+Enter and you get FullScreen Windows. Thats really impressive! With BootCamp and Parallels everything works! There aren't arguments against mac except the price. Have fun! phi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17459-your-top-ten/#findComment-112705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
