My friend is taking some college courses in computer animation and has to use a mac. It crashes constantly when I attempts to save his work. He would toss his MAC into the garbage can if he didn't have to use it for school.

I thought windows computers were more likely to have those problems... well, i am going to find out first hand because i am going to get the new Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook (for my college class). I am going to compare them to the macs that i have and see which is superior.

May I ask what software is your friend using? I have used Adode Flash on a Mac OS X Leopard (version 10). It's really different from PC version. I have Adobe Flex & Adode flash on a PC but I don't used it often.

Nice. Those files are pretty big and it's hard to save or to back up those files.
It's pretty expensive too unless your friend have those students & teachers voucher. Kinda like what Adobe offer to students & teachers a discount.
It's worth having.
Have you try to used Maya?

Me, not only no but Hell no. My friend got Maya free from his school. I don't know a thing about it, nor do I waste my time using a MAC.
