It gives you all of the options and I can't think of anything that's a negative about it.

Also, if you don't mind a slight performance penalty, you can run XP under Parallels virtualization software and run XP and Mac OS X at the same time. You can try the software out on both platforms and come to your own conclusions.

BootCamp allows you to run Windows XP (or Vista) at full speed so you can decide when to switch between the operating systems. And it isn't an option on your Dell solution. I have heard that apps like Canon DPP and Nikon Capture run faster on Windows than they do on the Mac, and some of the apps aren't yet Universal Binaries which really impacts performance.īut I'll say this from my own experience: BootCamp works extremely well. We don't have any Windows laptops, but we do have MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

Final images go through Photoshop CS2, soon to be CS3.įor this type of work, which of the two computers would work faster? I know there is a limited comparison of CS2 under OSX until CS3, but I know there are a lot of users out there of both systems, plus I have to believe that Camerabits has both platforms for testing purposes.Įxperiences, comments, suggestions, and snide remarks are welcome. Most of my work is JPG in PM, but I also shoot some events in RAW+JPG and use tools like Bibble or Nikon Capture to do batch conversion of RAW images into JPG to correct for poor lighting casts and such. This includes setting IPTC data and resizing images. It is not unusual for me to need to process 2500+ images after a weekend of sports shooting. I am considering a MacBook Pro 2.33Ghz Duo Core (2Gb RAM) and a Dell laptop with the 2.00Ghz Duo Core with Windows XP Pro (2Gb RAM). I *think* am ready to make the conversion from Windows to Mac, but it is VERY hard to get objective performance comparisons between the two platforms without a lot of bickering that ultimately sounds like "My dad can beat up your dad" or "My religion is the *right* religion".
