Apptel Macs good for the future
As a long time Apple and PC user [Apple's decision to use Intel CPUs] can only be a good thing for the Mac user, especially as Apple has had problems getting a steady supply of Power PC chips from IBM.
As long as the operating system is tied to Apple hardware, then quality and stability issues will be the same as present, both excellent in comparison to Windows-based PCs. Also, being able to run Windows on my Mac at full native speed in a dual boot configuration will negate the need for me to have a separate PC.
Being a design student in multimedia. I use my Apple for the day to day tasks such as Photoshop, Illustrator and web design, only turning to the PC for 3D design work, as the extra grunt in speed terms is useful for cutting down rendering times.
If any future Apple I purchase can have the same processing power as my PC, then I will be a very happy Apple customer.

Apple is good for media machine but no way replace engineering application. This is due to lack of expansion offered by the mac at the early day.

I have apple Mac at home, my friend who gave me that machine. I do not know how speed is the processor. WhatI saw it is the ram which is 64MB but the speed. Does Apple have the latest operatin sytem? if it has it! is that easy for installing it like a windows or not? I think apple need more compatible and reliable software. For example in windows, software applications and also the compatible or reliable Network. To do the quick communication with the other operating systems.

I do also a lot of multimedia. I do Photoshop illustrator, video editing adn defferent animation. But in PC I can do it quickly but in apple it is taking a bit long to do the design especially to understand it.
