A more appropriate answer is "switch to *nix". I'm in the same case as you, I do engineering and design equally and I also need CC and 3D soft (I switched 3DS for Cinema4D), etc. I use OSX for the design stuff and I have an ubuntu partition via bootcamp. I also have many others Linux and Android machines via virtualbox/vagrant (but those are mainly for dev + UI design).
So, if you're on win, sincerely I'd buy a mac, but I'd also start playing with Linux in another partition. It's been 10+ years since I completely abandoned win. Never looked back.
- thenomad 11y agoThe cost of switching to Mac seems a bit extreme - for a really high-performance 3D box I'd be looking at whole-number multiples of the cost of my existing workstation, as far as I'm aware. Otherwise I'd be considering it.
- joshstrange 11y agoWhile the upfront cost is high Macs hold their value better than any other computer I've ever used and are SUPER easy to resale. So while you pay more you will be able to sell it for way more than a windows computer.
