Does anyone have experience with Corel on a macintosh platform? I am not at all aware of it, looking for information. After a long time pc experience I decide to change pc/mac (imac or macpro). What are the options? I know that does it work pc sw on mac through Bootcamp/Parallesls Desktop. Does it work fine? Are there differences in speed, response, normal work or larger files?thanks for any feedback and/or advicePeter
I would rather advise you to bungee jump then get a MAC but if you must and you want to run CorelDRAW SPEND lots of money and buy POWER. Go big or go home, if not get a big rock and drop it on your foot at least some day that will heal.
With this said Corel just bought Parallels, what does that tell you?
Parellels is a software to run PC stuff on a MAC.
Price's can vary per country, I feel bad for most people in European and Asian Countries.
To run CorelDRAW I recommend based on U.S. pricing 32 GB of RAM a 500GB SSD, maybe a NVidia Geforce GTX 980, GB network card Windows 10 Pro. NO AMD ANYTHING! That means video or processor.
I can build that PC system in the U.S. for about $1,200.
Start your pricing with those specs and remember NO AMD! I just checked a similar MAC is $4,000 U.S. and they only offer AMD video cards so you're screwed. They only offer Xeon processors and Corel users on the PC regularly report issues with their systems using Xeon processors.
On Windows first thing run all your updates every morning use Windows Defender for anti-malware and virus.
32 GIGS of RAM??!!!Of course, it depends wich processor you work with...I have a DELL XPS, i7 6700K at 4ghz, 24gb RAM, NVIDIA 960, 250 SSD... Runs like a charm. I bought it from Canada, Black Friday Special in 2017 at a price of $1699.99 CAD. Reg $2399.99.My second DELL computer, and NO AMD!!!!! EVER!!! You're right about that, David!I'm never going to change for a MAC as long as I use CorelDRAW.
well Tetrodesign, have a experience with not low end nb DELL M6800WS (i7/4900MQ with 32GB RAM, 250SamsungSSD+500HDDSeagate and FirePro6100 graphics). Not very satisfied with a performance...maybe that AMD card? Corel2018 were slow as on old i3 pc. Fortunately I sold him...even for cheap money. Anyway need new machine=reason of my question about Mac platform, where AMD reigns :-(

The i7 4900MQ had only 2.8 ghz. An i3 can also have 2.8 ghz. The difference between a i7 and i3 is the multicore. In other words, running multiple programs at once. It won't go faster, it'll just share more effeciently the power of the processor. And yes...The AMD card maybe not helping as well.
So, if you're only running CorelDRAW, you will hardly notice any difference at all between the i7 and i3.
