EQ7 on Mac vs PC
 
I finally bit the bullet and ordered EQ7 for my PC laptop. I got that version because my PC screen is larger and I figured it would be easier to work on designs (I originally got the PC for Photoshop editing). However, I also have a Mac that's much more portable. Would it be worth the extra $25 to purchase the Mac version as well? Do the two versions work exactly the same or are they different? I kind of want to avoid having two learning curves at the same time but if the programs work the same I may get the Mac version just so I can take it with me when we go on trips and not have to lug around the monster laptop. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for any feedback!
Debbie

Absolutely!! It's exactly the same as the PC version!

Quilt in a day just got them up on their site ~ their price is great + free ship over $100. Search their site for "3475-07MAC" and it should come up. The item needs to be put into the cart to view the price.

Just $25.00, I would say YES !!! I love my EQ5 but looking for a really good half of sale to jump to EQ7 if I need to upgrade to a newer computer.

Thanks! That's where I ordered the PC version from, it just came yesterday! Of course I got a bunch of other stuff too. Time to pick out another $100 of stuff!

Deb, make sure the Mac version at QIAD is the $25 migration kit. I'm thinking you can only order that one through EQ. Don't pay full price for it if you don't have to!!

Cindi is correct ~ the QIAD product # I quoted in above post is for the boxed full MAC version. I don't know if they have the migration kit.

Thanks to everyone - I just downloaded the EQ7 migration kit from the Electric Quilt website for $24.95 and am up and running on my Mac now. So I can use the PC if I want the larger screen, or the Mac if I want more portability - best of both worlds. I've wanted this software for awhile now and feel like it's Christmas! I'm going through the video tutorials and can already see this program is everything I thought it would be, plus a LOT more!
