MAC VS PC (RANT ALERT)
"Hello. My name is Kei. I am a Graphic Designer. I do not want a f%^%^ing Mac. Thankyou".
I'm gonna get straight to the point. My laptop has HD graphics. 3GB Ram. 250GB hard-drive space. Blu-Ray. A screen that is not microscopic. A keyboard with keys I can actually feel. And a mouse with a left click annnddd (wait for it) a right click, so I don't have to memorise countless button combos to copy links or God forbid - copy and paste text. Oh, shall I continue? It has a remote, 4 usb slots and a cute little neon light that glows up in the dark -sexy. All for £529.
Please, there's nothing you can say to get me to spend an extra..oh I don't know...RENT on piece of technology that could fit in my pocket and have to spend light years scrolling down to the bottom of the page cause the screen is so God-damn small.
JUST because I am a Graphics Designer - does not mean I HAVE TO HAVE A MAC. I've been designing for YEARS, and have developed my skills on my OWN through trial and error, and through spending countless time reading articles, purchasing magazines and sketching my little heart out. Using a different piece of technology will not improve my skills. Software does not determine my creativity or my insight to things AS A DESIGNER. I can design something on a piece of PAPER. I'm a student. If I can get something that does the job well WITH A HIGHER GRAPHICS CARD SPECIFICATION. NOTE THE WORD GRAPHICS for a cheaper price...then so be it. I'm not gonna deny a Macbook PRO (which is not the make I was referring to above) is a nice little piece of technology - but I don't want one. I'm not prepared to save up that much money for something that won't actually be beneficial to ME in any way. If it ain't broke, why spend like 5 months of rent in one go to 'fix' it? So LEAVE ME ALONE & SHUT YOUR FACE, IMMEDIATELY. Stop trying to patronise me. That's YOUR business if you allow technology or userfaces to define your ideas and/or creativity. I'm not that chick. So GET!
EXHALE. Aaaah...that's better.
