Hello,firstly, sorry for my English- coz I'm not a fluent English-speaker
I'm planning to buy a new computer, because my laptop broke a while ago.I can't decide what would be the best option for me.I'm a student and my budget is limited.Firstly was planning to purchase a pc with intel core i7 3.4ghz and geforce 550ti graphic card and windows 7, 8gb ram and 1tb hard drive.I got a very good offer- 620 euro for this.
However I got confused because:
I study digital media design course and at the moment we use apple computers with logic pro and final cut pro-we learn these applications- that are for Macintosh programs only.So I can't get them on Windows.(I can use apple computers in the college but the access' time is also limited-college is close after 6pm or 7pm)
We also use some Adobe applications on macs in the college but adobe does programs for both macs and windows so I can get these for pc.
I like macs of course and consider purchasing mac mini, because I'd like to have possibility to do my college work at home.However I'm aware that pcs can be upgrade better than macs.I can also play games on pcs (not sure if I can play pcs games on a mac mini?)
I'm just not sure what should I consider with a limited budget, really can't decide, coz I know I can run logic pro and final cut pro on mac mini- I consider the one with core i5, 2.5ghz, intel hd graphics 4000, 8gb ram.
I would like to get something for next couple years- not 2 years but at least 4.
Any good, clear suggestions?I would really appreciate guys!
