I'm fine with both. I only see myself having a PC desktop though, because I like to play games on it (and not just games on Steam)

If I got a laptop, I'd go with a Macbook.

you aren't a pc gamer, nor video editor, nor photoshop artist...GTR2addict

That's not even close to what he was comparing the price to, though. He didn't say to get the OS you need to buy a $1500 piece of hardware (which still isn't true anyway)spazzx625

they're both based off unix, linux does all the same stuff for free. besides, if a mac costs over a thousand bucks over a windows based machine, with the same or worse parts, why charge for anything that isn't the OS?

Mac Pro:

One 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor

3GB (three 1GB) memory

640GB hard drive 1

18x double-layer SuperDrive

NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB

$1,940.00

Dell Studio XPS:

Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)

Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English

nVidia® GeForce® 310 512M GDDR3

see the difference? the dell has a mildly worse GPU, has the same CPU, same ram, bigger hard drive and yet, it's almost 1000$ cheaper.

OS X is nothing like Linux. The only thing they have in common is that they're both UNIX based. OS X is actually built from FreeBSD.

PC cuz ive never used a mac before

Mac is garbage...

Why would anyone even spend 1k on that second one? My computer is better and it cost a little more than 500...

I assume it's a laptop hence the m, meaning mobile, for the graphics card. The laptop is actually good for it's price.

pc always

but if i hadf a choice between macbook pro or any other laptop id pic mac because more value in $

Well, Mac's are PC's (Personal Computer). If you mean Mac v. Windows-based computer, then I'll have to go with Windows-based computer. I don't understand how people with any sense buy a Mac, unless they desperately need to use Final Cut Pro, or "need" to make some sort of fashion statement. They are more expensive, don't have customizable hardware, and have basically no modifiable user-interface. Everything is just so "streamlined" that it makes it impossible to "make it your own." Granted, you can install a Windows OS to Apple hardware... but then why not just use a Windows-based computer?

[QUOTE="GTR2addict"]

[QUOTE="spazzx625"] Who was arguing that OSX wasn't Unix based? Even so, OSX != Linux at all. There is no Linux kernel like OSX at all. Yeah, you could build a beast of a computer and freely install a linux kernel and get good results...But you are still acting like there is this huge premium for Macs and that just isn't true. Also, please show me these prices and specs where a Mac costs $1000 more than a comparably specced PC?RobboElRobbo
