My boss has suggested swapping my HP high spec laptop for a MacBook 2.4GHz so i can have less issue with Windows updates. I use the entire Adobe Master Collection CS3 of programs including video editing – premier pro, after effects, soundbooth, encore. Indesign, photoshop, dreamweaver, fireworks, illustrator and Bridge CS3.
I haven’t used a mac for many years so have some questions which I need answers for please.
1. Will all my windows software (such as abobe products above) and Microsoft Office 2007, various other windows software ALL WORK ON this Macbook?
2. Will I be able to plug my 3 300GB external hard drives into this macbook without reformatting the drives?
3. I currently have 12 USB devices plugged into my HP laptop. Will the MacBook be able to take all these devices, cameras, 2 dvd RW external drives, 3 external hard drives, scanner, printer, dig camera, wireless keyboard and mouse etc?
4. I have a 55cm wide screen monitor which plugs into my HP laptop. It has RGB and DVI. Will it work with the Macbook?
5. I have heard the MacBook can run Windows OS and its own OS. I see it comes with Mac OSx10. Will this OS run windows applications or do I have to get Windows loaded as a dual operating system?
Many thanks.
Bruce
