If you have been using a pc this far into your illustrative or design career, please stop the stress and go buy a Mac. I'm telling you, it's beyond words how amazing these pieces of hardware are for your art and your mind. I will give you two reasons and two reasons only for why a Macbook will change your life. One, hardware and operating system is amazing and it can run anything. Two, seamless integration with your iPhone (see next must have for info about iPhone) messaging app. This makes it so easy to communicate with clients and quickly text back those pesky buds of yours. Simply awesome.
