I bought myself (or rather the company) a 21.5" Quad Core iMac a few days back. Not sure how it will all pan out, the PC will probably still have to stay for the time being.

So far I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit frustrating being very limited on software right now but I'm working through it.

I know exactly what you're saying Paul, much cleaner solution. Do you vinyl cut from your Mac?

Ive sat and watched people use mac and those things still freak me out, maybe its because through school, college and uni we never got to play with them so its untouched terriroty.

Would love it if you could do a try before you buy, when you go into pc world the sales reps just jump on you though :(

I see the Graphtec cutters ship with Graphtec Studio which works with Mac as well ;-)

:rolleyes: Possibly! Although I've just had an email offering me the GX-24....if the price is right that could swing it but tbh I do like the look of the Graphtec. Just looking what Mac support the GX has.
