Mac with virtual Windows (Parallels)
| | | |
MAC, and I am very happy, but since I have not installed Windows (parallels), I can use only some softwares. I have Office for MAC, which is exactly the same as Windows, but the problem is about CAT tools, Wordfast is ok, Trados is not. But this depends on me, I do not want to install Windows on a MAC. It is like ruining a perfect machine

I would love to invest in a Macstation and Macbook Pro 17", but I do not find much point in having such powerful equipment and then having to put a crapy Windows partition on it so tht Trados / Across / MemoQ, etc. can work on it reliably.
As soon as these companies introduce their software so that it can run on a Mac / Macstation, then I will be there to work on them as I am just soooooo fed up of the unreliable Microsoft products!!

I use Studio on my PC, and then I lean over to the right, in an un-ergonomic way, and do research on my Mac!
Yes, I know, I know..... I AM a computer whizz kid.
Can't help it, comes naturally......

Same here and for the foreseeable future.
I've been thinking of getting a Mac because it is the superior machine but, as others have so correctly pointed out, I would be buying a Mac just to install Windows on it, which is ridiculous. Even using Office for Mac doesn't make me feel right. Sticking with not-so-good 'ole Microsoft for now (might get a Mac for the family though...hmmm).

I use Mac since over 25 Years, long time before it became a Status-Symbol... I'm really sad that Trados works just on PC, so I'm using now boot camp to work with Trados... Untill now I was working with Mac and Wordfast, and it was great... Now I spend a lot of time to try to use this stupid pc: virus, problems, new start... It's terrible!!!

And if agencies did not ask to work with Trados (expansive and not better then other CAT-Tools) I would never change to PC and Trados. Excuse my bad english, I konw just few words but I wonted to say my opinion... I hope you can understand what I wrote!

I prefer Mac, but since there is no Mac version of Trados, sometimes I have to run Windows in BootCamp.

Desktop PC and laptop with Windows 7, and they work fine.
As far as I am concerned Windows works well. I hear a lot of complaints but I have not had any problems that I could blame on Windows or the other Microsoft software.
I know that those who own a Mac speak wonders about it, but at this point I see no reason to spend up to 70% more on a Mac than on a PC, and as long as my computers give me no problems, I will stick with them.

And if Mac is so much better, how come 88% of respondents are using PCs?

| Where was the button for Both? | Mar 19, 2013 |
I have 2 laptops, 1 of each flavor, and a CAT tool on each.
I'm even starting to warm up to the PC; it's only taken 5 years...
