Hellllloooo lads,
I have been dealing with windows issues for ages. I'm done with it.
I mean, i will still use windows8 on this laptop for surfing web but nothing more.
I am able to build a computer, i've done it many times under windows or linux.
I want to go Mac for photo editing. I wanna get a step up in my photography production and printing.
I will do and need a few things.
- Lot of photo editing with photoshop, maybe lightroom or aperture.
- a lot of photo negative scanning (firewaire 400 and/or usb2.0).
- A little bit of video editing (mostly family video currently stored on a minidv).
- i will use a 27" Nec Spectraview monitor and i will need to calibrate it.
I am actually looking on 2 solutions : MacbookPro + Nec 27" OR MacPro + Nec 27".
Macbook pro advantage is to be handable.
But those machines are very expansive and after a discussion with a friend, i'm wondering about going hackintosh.
But i would like to be sure, that once it's built up, it will be bugs free.
I don't wanna switch to mac os and need to tweak the system every month because something is not 100% functional.
So would it be stable for this kind of use ?
And how cheaper than a "Mac pro" would it be (with nearby specs) ?
Many thanks.
Colin
