Guinness Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) By the way, Autocad for Mac is as useful and reliable as in WIndows.@ Amadeus: Sorry, I have no intention to disrespect your opinion whatsoever, but...Come on, being an architect, you know that´s not true, unless you really want it to be true.I´m not a MS fanboy - I own a Macbook Pro 2013 as well a PC - and I work in an architects office too. Of couse it depends on your needs/your workflow, but Autodesk products for Mac (specially AutoCAD and 3dsMax, the ones I use on a daily basis) are clearly sub-developed when compared to Windows ones.They will get better? I´m sure they will. AutoCAD did. Right now, they are not yet at the same level. Sorry for the off-topic guys.

Smokehead Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Windows is much user friendly and easy than the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery - Sager battery can't support 2h with this config. I have SAGER NP9370, and my battery only lasts 1~2h or so.2. Weight - Sager notebook for gaming/professional are very heavy.3. Design - I prefer MBP Retina, they are much more "clean" and beautiful.4. OS - I personally prefer OS X, but this is up to you to decide.----------------------------This is only an example, you can find another good high-end notebooks cheaper in other sites/stores.

tigerjack Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thank you all for your patience and participation. As expected, the choice is difficult and will take a bit of time to decide and buy the most suitable laptop. Thanks again Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
