>>65660 I think the valid point to make here isn't that "Macs are better for graphics" but rather that "Macs are better for people who create graphics". Macs remove or bypass so many elements of frustration that impede and slowdown professional workflow, it's no small wonder that people are willing to pay a premium for the tightly integrated system Macs present. Excellent customer support, no confusing hardware choices to make ("I want the one with the bigger screen!"), blah blah viruses blah blah malware, and just pure ease of use. 4chan isn't an accurate sampling of the population. We're all very tech savvy here, by and large, due in large part to our proud status as a hacker gang. Most creative professionals, be they graphic designers, typesetters, printers, illustrators, or whatever other visual media you want to talk about, don't want to deal with command lines, .DLLs, apt-get, Spybot, AVG, the Windows registry, Xorg.conf, or any of that shit that we delight in. They want something that will quietly and prettily get the job done, and possibly even give them artist-cred for having the glossiest, sparkliest, eye-candyist machine on the block.
Me, I use'em because I love the Mac design aesthetic from top to bottom, hardware to software to packaging to Steve's reality-distortion field. I drank the kool-aid long ago.
