Hey guys today I’ll be a bit polemic but i think that the differences in term of price, that i’m gonna show you ,are something unbelivable..
In the common sense to be a graphic designer usually you need at least 3 instruments: the Adobe Softwares, a Mac and a Wacom Tablet..
In this particular case I’m considering the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, the MacBook Pro 15”, the Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8”.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium directly from the site adobe.com: US 1799 $, UK 1436 £, IT 2638 € and converting them all in € >> US 1391 € > UK 1643 € > IT 2638 €..
MacBook Pro 15” directly form the site apple.com: US 2000 $, UK 1370 £, IT 1800 € and converting them all in € >> US 1579 € > UK 1548 € > IT 1800 €..
Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8” directly from the site wacom.com: US 329 $, UK 227 £, IT 329 € and converting them all in € >> US 260 € > UK 256 € > IT 329 €..
Now the total price in € >> US 3230 € > UK 3447 € > IT 4767 €
DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS NORMAL???????
