Hello there!
I have a problem. I ve always worked with pc and now that I need another computer I started thinking about buying a mac.
I wanted to ask, because I see that most of you are using a mac which mac should I buy in order for Archicad to work properly and .. much better than properly.
I have no idea about mac computers so any help would be nice.
Also I wanted to know if the ACv.10 I bought last year for pc is going to work on Mac or if I can buy another version for Mac with discount, because I m going to keep using my pc's.
thank you in advance.. 🙂

I made the switch from PC to MAC just a few years ago and I was quite worried that I would want to go back to the PC. This worry quickly went away when I found out that the MAC is very stable, never gets a virus, and runs just about every program I need...Plus apple comes out with all kinds of cool little perks like the magnetic power cord and the iphone like touch pad.

Go out a get a MAC, it is a good investment.
