What is the best computer I can buy for graphic design?
Things I Hate

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

Well, I'm not a graphic designer myself, but from experience I know that many graphic designers use Macs.. a famous international school that teaches that subject even provides its students with macbook pros at the start of their studies, lol!

This also depends on what kind of graphic design. If you are just making websites, pretty much any computer will do. If you are doing professional 2D design, you will probably want a computer with a powerful multi-core CPU. If you are doing 3D modeling, then you probably want a computer with a powerful multi-core CPU and a middle or high end graphics card.

It depends entirely on your price range. What are you willing to pay?

I need It do work with 3D modeling, and I do 2d too(Photoshop).

I'd recommend a Mac. Like Blizz said, get the best CPU and graphics card(s) you can afford.

In that price range, I'd recommend a Macbook Pro 15" (the one I am getting, lol!) it should be able to do anything you wantto do and it's still rather small and portable... and last but not least, according to alot of people I know, nearly undestructable xD Really, the case is made out of one piece of aluminium, and display (I think) and touchpad are glass and the harddrive has a motion sensor that automatically shuts down the harddrive when you drop the thing. Those are things that always seem to go unnoticed but end up being really comfortable.
