There is nothing you can do on one that you can't do on the other. However if you are familiar with Windows it will have more software options. I would look for a laptop with an i5 or i7, 4-8 GB RAM,  and a good sized hard drive.

Hello all,

I work for a small museum in upstate New York and we are in the process of replacing our old desktop for a newer (and hopefully faster) computer. We are thinking about purchasing a laptop which would be much more portable and take up less space in the office but aren't sure if we should stay with a PC or take the MAC plunge. We currently use Microsoft Access for our collections database, but are also in the process of possibly switching to a different database program. PastPerfect would be ideal. Is there any big difference in performance between a MAC or a PC when it concerns database programs such as PastPerfect? Is one more preferable over the other when it concerns photo and document scanning? I personally don't have much experience with using a MAC so I'm just trying to research as much as possible before we make a decision.

Any suggestions or information would be most appreciated!

Krista
