Use Apple Macs for your softwares development, their the best ever. The choices and options are so many to what software platforms you want to develop. Like applications for iPad, iPhone and Macs. Publish your projects on iTunes if you got notice well you can be richer easier. If you want to develop application softwares for PC's MS Windows, Linux or Unix you can have it also. All Apple Mac computers are ready for developing softwares application including using just a Mac Mini. Well there some using Mac Mini for robotics, autonomous vehicles, servers (like for small businesses, offices, BPO) and home automations.

Steve Job is very interested for those who are users of Apple Macs computer or brands. Steve Job is a developer (hardware systems and softwares applications) and also business a man and one of the greatest businessman. What do you mean support system? As long you are developer for Apple software application you can have the support for Apples. Especially if your project or works are the best performance and top on quality. That's mean you have more than many great opportunities for India for just using Apple Macs computers. You just fill-in those missing gaps. And wala! You can be famous and for that Steve Jobs may know you for making revolutionary developing softwares application by using Apple computer systems in India. You can even or start your own support group or forum board for Apple Mac and other brands users for India. And if you are already popular or known revolutionist for Apple Macs your target class are absolutely those on Higher or Middle or Class A or B because mostly or more rich people prefer to use Apple Macs. Even you just develop a software application that is worth $1.00 and if people like to use your application and get popular it can generate lots of money even just worth $1.00 on iTunes store. Apple computers are much better and easier to use than MS Windows and Linux on a PC if it is just assemble. If you gonna use branded PC with sophisticated specifications it can cost more than Apple computers combination of hardware and software applications. Apple softwares applications are cheaper but has more common sense and practical. To tell you if there are genuine softwares application for Apple Macs there are also lots of pirated (games and software applications). Ta! da!!

Yea.Its great stuff from Steve.No doubt,but there are some holding backs as well.The developers are made to sign some terms and conditions and we have to pay $100 to download the application. And by support in my previous post,I mean if my Mac pC gets into a problem,then whom should I contact,there are not many people good with Mac softwares and Iam not sure if there is help by call or something like Dell does. Its good that you are sharing the details,it definetely helps people looking for a potential career oppurtunity.

Macs...the support system in India for Steve Jobs prodcuts,Iam not sure how good they are,because Steve doesnt seem to be very interested in India.I would prefer Windows 7 or some version of Linux.

Hi, from your description here i can assume that you might be a software developer. I would suggest a programmer should keep a fairly configured machine, because most modern development tools require resources more than from the past and so will be in future. It would be best for you to approach for multi-core processor systems than uni-core/processor systems. Because the upcoming generation is going to compute using multi-core architectures and almost uni-core architecture is coming to an end with Intel Pentium D series. The programs we use today are programmed to efficiently work on unicore/uni-processor systems. Because of their serialized instruction nature, we cannot use the maximum potential of our multi-core CPU. But things are going to change in a near future, and most programmers will approach for multi-core programming. Dell's laptop models in market with Intel's Core i series processors are now rocking the market. But you may also get other brands in same configuration for negotiable price. I suggest a Core i series processor, DDR3 RAM(Memory size your wish), and a SATA 320/500 GB HDD.

well, I guess that you should take a good look all over the online shops for alptops, because the best one can be found only with a good search, but the one I know is, that you will have to spend a lot of money for it!
