OT abit.
I find it nonsenses when people say Mac is better to do designing than PC
I find it to be the preference of the users that is the dominating factor rather than the functions offered by Mac and PC.

Some people do get mac laptops just to surf net and watch video. *faceplam*

Me. Graphic Design Student. Only PC. High Flyer for all digital design module.

Everytime classmate come ask how "eh how you did that on Photoshop", I will tell them "Oh I can do that because I'm using a PC". And they lolwut?!

key thing for using mac is, calibrated monitor that actually supports millions of colours, most laptops have inferior quality monitors, uncalibrated and uses sRGB colour space. Mac on the other hand can support adobe rgb which encompasses almost all CMYK gamuts giving you what you see is what you get. Printing aint cheap, eg. a big banner can cost up to 20k, screwing up clients such as singtel by making their logo of a different tinge can land you in a lawsuit(if goes undetected) or wasted print job, imagine 100k flyers goes to waste- who's paying?

Dun bullshit. My module covers colour calibration too.

sRBG far exceed CMYK colour gamut already. And there is not such thing as a factory calibrated monitor. Why?

1. LCD colour calibration isnt a one time off thing, colour will drift, you need to calibrate it once in a while, around 2 weeks to a month.
2. Your room lighting affects your calibration greatly.
3. Even for the same model of LCD, their color will still vary

The correct way to get colour calibrated is to use a colorimeter, like Spyder. Its not expensive, cost only around $100+ and can calibrate any monitors you have. Compared to the money you save from buy PC over Mac, this is pea.

There are many monitors out there that aint Apple brand that has better performance than Apple one. And Hell, Apple dun even make their own screen!

All theory no talk? I can assure you that I never have colour issues when sending to print shop or photo lab to print, whereas some of my Mac friends always kena wrong colour. I dun think its particularly Mac's fault in this case, more like those using Macs are more nooby.

My mom was a specialist at a Kodak lab and she is trained to spot colour drift, she was very happy everytime I help her do some photo processing cos on my monitor its almost WYSIWYG on photo print.
