I am going to school for Graphic Design and I need a laptop. I have a desktop that can do more than I need but would like to have a laptop for portability. My desktop has a i7 3770k processor and 16 GB of Ram with a 660 gtx ftw 2 GB. I would like to spend no more than $2000 on a laptop. I wouldn't mind building one but buying one would be good to.
I have done multiple threads and have read multiple threads about PC's and Mac's and which is better. If anyone think a Mac is better than I would like to know. If I buy a Mac then it will be from Best Buy and I will buy their protection plan at $349. But may be able to increase my budget if I find a Mac or PC that I like.
If I like the PC then either Best Buy or maybe even building one from Newegg.com. I want either computer to be able to do animation and Graphic Design. Be able to run Macromedia Flash 8, Maya, and Photoshop. And I would like to know if any other program out their is good for animation and possible Game Developing.
I really do not want any bashing on PC or MAC I just want to know which you the people would think would be best for animation. I have never had a Mac but thought about getting one some I am curious and do not want to waste any money on a Mac or even a PC being a waste. I have not done much with my desktop yet but I definitely will be making an animation very soon.
