Mac or PC and why

I think macs are better because after i got a vista the keyboard sucked and had to replace the battery every two days.

Microsoft XP is okay, but i think macs have that sleek look and are easier to use.

PC. The cost is better. And since they are more popular they have more software.

I did not mention that there are viruses on PC's. Never heard of one on the Mac.

PC. It costs less, is more powerfull (in general) and works with everything.

Mac. Sure, they may cost more, but it's worth it, cause it a lot easier to use, and it does everything I need to do, and it's fast.

I'd choose PC just because there are more games. But Macs are definatly more reliable I do hate how Macs call the INTERNET, Safari!

PC. Alot of the games on the PC aren't available on the Mac. I think you should put up a poll as well.

I'll just leave this here

PC mainly because it is a lot cheaper but also due to the ease in upgrading components and adding software and hardware.

So you're basing your experience with Window, because of a 3rd party keyboard running out of batteries? Yup, there's the logic shining through >_>

Besides, you do realize that Mac = PC? They are the same components just custom made. Plus I prefer building my own PC's and I can easily install OS X from osx86 project along with windows. Therefore I save 1400$ on a comprable or equal performing PC machine.

Plus watch out for Windows 7, right now, IT people are like kids in a candy store. They want it badly because of all the right things they are doing. Windows 7 even run's on older hardware now.

Macs - they look better and I want to be popular.

Even if the fact that "it is old", still doesn't prove that Mac's are invulnerable to viruses. Mac's are vulnerable to viruses, when virus makers see a larger user base from apple. And there have been a few viruses getting out there too... Believe it or not, Mac's are more vulnerable to this BS then PC's. Microsoft has been building it's OS around actual experience with actual protection then basing their technology off of speculation [mac].

PC more bang for the buck.

Now im a PC

Also considering if/when your Mac breaks. You're gonna have to bend over backwards and jump through flaming hoops to get it fixed.Infinite-Zr0

That would be a PC. They cost less and have more.

PC:

Although I hate calling it a PC because they are all personal computers, for the sake of the argument I'll use the term PC. I much prefer PCs. I think that the Windows operating systems are, overall, vastly superior, more powerful, easier to use, and much cheaper...so you get more "bang for your buck," to use a lame cliche.

I hate Macs. I've used Macs many, many times over the years. I've used all sorts of them. I used them as a kid in elementary school, and I've used them as a young adult now. I don't like the operating system at all. It's very inconvenient. I think that Macs are ridiculously overpriced, and in my opinion, you're not getting what you pay for. I don't even think that Macs are all that "sexy" or "attractive" either. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 in spring green, and I think it's far cuter than any Macs out there right now.

Basically, with a PC...you get more than what you pay for. You get a powerful, easy to use, high quality machine. With a Mac, you pay for the brand name and that's about it...and I'm not even impressed with the brand name. ;)

PC because macs cost a lot and you don't get as much computer for your money.

PC. I like the style of the MACs, but you can do more with the PC, and better pricing on PCs than MACs.

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"][QUOTE="WhiteSnake5000"]Yeah, which has nothing to do with Vista. WhiteSnake5000

Windows has to build a system that can be customized to work with all sorts of components. If Apple released their OS X to the public, they lose more money because they have such a low market share that selling just the OS will cause them to lose more money then they are now. Their hardware sales is what makes up the profit needed to stay afloat. Hence the constant revealing of new products every 1.5 years and the 50% profit margin compared to other brand computers.

If you take OS X and put it on a seperate system, you will get an equal amount of crashes as Windows. OS X 86 project proves this, because with all the other hardware out on the market combined with OS X, will not work or OS X will crash consistently. However with the 86 project, it does work with some hardware and with the community constantly coming out with custom drivers, OS X 86 actually works better then actual apple certified hardware. Go figure...

Do you have any idea what you're talking about or doing at all? :? You got a Vista and the keyboard battery died? lolwut?

Anyway I'll go with PC because I can choose among many OS, and the hardware is cheaper, better, and customizable.

One thing that mac users are failing to realize is that the reason why Mac's run well with OS X, is because it's dedicated hardware for the OS X system. You don't have to worry about driver compatibility with the latest and greatest hardware that comes out on the market. Each hardware component has an Apple bios chip to where only those cards and crap will work with apple "LOGIC BOARDS" (aka the standard term that all real computer users use, motherboard :roll: ). Apple picks the hardware they want you to use... not vice versa.trubluah

PC because that's what I grew up with and know more about.

PC, because I built mine for £500 and it thrashs my mates mac at just about anything.
