   In terms of art and graphics, are Mac Books worth the extra spondoolies for someone looking to go into that sort of industry or can you do pretty much the same on a decent gaming laptop if you own one of them already?

   They always seem eye wateringly expensive

     @PennyLope MacOs isn't necessarily better than windows or even linux - personally use all three, for different things. It's a preference more than anything else. Most software nowadays runs on most platforms and if you have a decent gamin laptop already, why even bother with a mac if the software you'll use is going to be the same on either platform? If you want a macbook and can afford one easily, why the hell not? Otherwise, don't. The only time I'd advise an apple device, is when we're talking tablets. YMMV. Focus on software first.
     
     Adding: I would always choose multi platform software over software that runs on only one platform. Like if you have software that only runs on mac, and you need to replace a mac device, it can be expensive to nearly impossible, depending on your financial situation at that particular time. Whereas a windows/linux device can be easily had at 200/300€$£ if necessary. And the software might not run super smooth on a cheap device, but at least it runs and you can make money. Something to keep in mind I think.

     @LadyMont @PennyLope Mac is essential for ios dev and most music production, it can also run all 3 Oses virtually (easier than windows)

     @bot @LadyMont @PennyLope @ren not like Linux is any better, whoever's designing these free software tools are retarded jesus christ is it that hard to make something nice to use. and it's not getting better with the new GNOME UIs, just worse and more dumbed down. they're not good at design and they should stop pretending to be. Windows stands as the best operating system for art and design

     @bot @ren @LadyMont @PennyLope They literally aren't, they run less stuff, they're more expensive. Creative work is all about expression and Macs tamper with that

     You literally do nerd. Most creative software runs on both windows and mac, but there’s some stuff that only runs on mac.

     @bot @ren @LadyMont @PennyLope you literally do not. Mac runs less software, vast majority of software is Windows-first
