I'm a Mac, I just couldn't take all the virus scans and error missing dll files with PC, I guess I can see it if your a PC gamer.ultimameteora
Viruses and error messages are the result of carelessness. Take care of your computer and it will function well... end of story.

PC is better, MACs are usually used more for graphics work, PC is used for everything else.

I use a Windows machine for work and Mac machines at home and they both have advantages and disadvantages. spazzx625
I find this to be the best combo.

Definitely my PC. I've had less problems with it and find it a lot more manageable than the Macs where I work.

I've heard Macs are better for graphic designers (no idea if that's true) other than that, there is hardly anything worthwhile about them, at least that I see.

They get hardly any support for programs/games, no way to uprgrade parts (unless you buy the $2000+ versions), and you pay way too high a premium on them.

PC's aren't hard to use, and viruses aren't a problem as long as you know which sites NOT to go to.

Personally the only thing I like about Macs is that they have a nice asthetic to them.

PS: This is based off the small time I have using them.

There is nothing Macs do that you can't make your PC do. And there is nothing PCs do that you can't make your Mac do. The difference is that Macs cost thrice as much.

In my experience of both, I'd rather have the hardware of a nice laptop like a Vaio... but with OS X.

The only reasons people use macs are misconceptions about PCs and misinformation about macs.

nah. Macs are easy to use and there is much less room for error. Sure they can't do as much and cost a lot more, but that is what you get if you want convenience and ease of use. Apple has also got people thinking that macs are the cool thing to have.

Except that's just advertising.

raynimrod

why dont we go with what 99.99999% of people understand as the connotation instead of being "that guy that has to be clever" and be right on a technicality? And since when did the Apple ads refer to their Mac products as "PCs"?

As for the question, I prefer PC because, well, I like to play games and I dont have the money to buy overpriced, underperforming equipment.

Mac =/= OS X. OS X is the OS inside a mac. and according to Apple, a mac isn't a PC.

PC. I would never in my life even consider buying a Mac. Besides graphic design work and some movie making, Macs can do nothing better than PCs, yet they cost twice as much.

I bought my first Mac several weeks ago and I'm really liking it. I think I like it better than Windows. The entire thing just looks and feels more professional.

Firstly, because like you I like great beer, and that makes me better than everyone else.

This thread should have been titled "What do you prefer, Mac OSX or Windows?".

Desktop: I'll use windows

Laptop: OSX

I prefer windows for most things but I CANNOT stand trackpads on windows laptops. Apple has really done alot of things right with how integrated the trackpad is with OSX. Anytime I switch from my mac to someone else's windows laptop I find myself trying to do exposes or two finger scroll and it pisses me off when I can't.

Correct. If you want to compare hardware, this question would have to be a lot more specific.

I agree about the trackpads. I have yet to see a Windows laptop with as good a pad as a Macbook. However, I'd rather bring along my wireless mouse than use a trackpad at all.

PC, easily. It'll take more than a shiny interface and pretty hardware to separate me from my money, software flexibility and ability to play games.
