I have been waiting for a dedicated Mac section for a LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!
Well, I am a Mac user. I use Mac at home, and use PC at work. I can't saying more after seeing what ah_cho said about Mac, the advantage and disadvantage.
However, I am assuming that ah_cho bought a MacBook Pro. For the people not so familiar with Mac Notebooks, there are 3 different models of notebook - 1) MacBook 2) MacBook Pro and 3) MacBook Air. Of course you can tell that MacBook is just the basic entry level notebook. However, it performs a lot better than all entry level PC notebook. Yes, Mac are expensive because of their standards. If you were to buy about the same spec of PC, the price is not that much different.
Anyway, ah_cho said he installed a Parallel software on his Mac. I don't think Parallel runs okay with MacBook. It kinda slow everything, both PC and Mac. If you need to run both OS, you will need a MacBook Pro for better performance.
For MacBook Air, it is the tiniest yet notebook in the world, but it doesn't have a optical drive. That is the problem. Meaning if you need to install something from a CD, you will need another computer to help you do this or you will need to buy an external DVD-ROM/ DVD burner. It can be troublesome. However, it is really light! MacBook air is definitely better than MacBook in terms of performance, but not sure if it is better than MacBook Pro.
I think one advantage that ah_cho forgot to mention about Mac is that the battery last really long!
ah_cho, do you mean HKD or USD? You meant USD, right?
