Mac vs PC!!!!!

Macs are worthless, PC FTW!

i dont even know where to begin so ill try at the beginning. Windows is a good OS, and for gaming Mac cant even remotely compete. ATM the best mac gaming computer is years behind, and PC's are already winning by currently controlling 90% of the marketshare. Basically if you want a mac you most likely think its cool, and then say you bought it cause its more secure when in reality there is nothing that makes a mac more secure compared to a Windows based PC.

I like the freedom of the PC without MS's restrictions. Linux based PC's are my cup of tea.mattbbpl

if you have a shred of knowledge about computers linux is nice because it allows you to do alot more then a windows or mac based PC, and you can set it up to your own tastes. Its also hell of alot less of a recource hog, but yeah its not supported by most mainstream corporations so its limited in its use by the mainstream consumer.

For the 1,000,000,000 time Microsoft, Apple, and uninformed customers...computers running Linux, OSX, or Windows are PCs. PCs. Stands for Personal Computer and it doesn't matter if you're running Linux, OSX, or Windows, its a Personal Computer. I prefer the Windows Xp (soon to be Windows 7) and Ubunut dual boot. I can have the amazingness of Windows and Linux. :) I'm really not a fan of Macs at all.

Yeah XP is good but Vista , no... Ough Vista is good in one thing, exellent in one thing and that is gaming, so that is most important. I'm for PC too but if Windows could be more safer, and more stabel....GamerrX

Macs are PCs.

Here I was under the impression that Macs were indeed personal computers...

[QUOTE="tmacscores91"] Agree, just bought a mac after having an XP based Inspiron, and a Vista based Inspiron, and now a new MacBook Pro. The MacBook is my favorite by faaaartmacscores91

Nope, i'm on a mac, on osx 10.5.6, on an intel processor, try one more time ;)

Does this really belong on a gaming forum? I mean in terms of gaming it's a no brainer...

I have the early 2008 macbook pro model, buying the new 17 inch macbook pro unibody soon, for my editing, just don't know if i like the no button thing or not yet.

Last I checked, OS X was far, far behind PC (Windows/Linux) on the application/productivity front. Pretty much the only thing OS X has over Windows is Final Cut Pro and a pretty interface. :roll:

Me too.

Macs are awesome if you really love video editing and not playing games.Crosshair_7

macs are also good if you want to buy a product that is ridiculously overpriced

apple tax baby........you are paying extra for a way of life, yes ive seriously heard someone say that, and that was the day i lost whatever little faith i had left in humanity.

i had a teacher who told me it was so expensive because you were paying for vastly superior software, and then he said something like "once you go mac, you never go back"

i :lol: 'd at him

I'm not saying all Mac users are like that, but I do know some that think that way. It's the saddest thing ever to see someone dismiss something like an MP3 player, or computer for an Apple equivalent that is twice as much, and you know all they're doing it for is aesthetics, and nothing more. Makes me sick.

How Apple got people to think that way is beyond me.

you just put in a piece of software and POOF!! it shuts down

:lol:

I think that the OSX is a better operating system is better on a work-usage basis. Gaming is a whole different matter, because so few games get ported to Macs, in addition to the nonexistant lineup of Macs with gaming quality hardware. But since I don't game on any computer, except the rare Starcraft or Warcraft games, it's rarely an issue for me. OSX is a vastly superior operating system for me.

Windows-Based PC. I still don't get why Apple fanboys say that productivity software in a Mac is better when Windows has the same programs that can run even better given the appropriate hardware.

Then there's the "sleek" interface every Mac fanboy masturbates to everytime they boot up their PC then Vista came in... You know the rest... And despite having a few issues with Vista at first, it's still the best OS I've ever used. People argue that Vista consumes too many resources but for the people that have them(and then some) Vista provides a fast and perfectly stable system. You know there's something wrong when people try to install a 2-3 year old OS on 10 year old hardware and expecting it to work well, I'd like to see a Mac user installing OSX on a 5-10 year old Mac and see if it runs well, if at all, oh wait they can't anyways...

Apple should've stuck with iPods only, which is the only thing they do well. IMO, they're still a rip off when you consider the hardware you're getting for your money but accessibility is something they excel at and, when listening to music or watching a video/movie on the go, accessibility is the first thing that comes to mind when buying a portable media player. If Apple reduces the price of iPods and offer bit more freedom when choosing the type of iPod that you want(big/touch screen to small regular screen and the type of storage, flash to hard drives) they would control the whole market, even more than they do now.

Maybe when a Mac will be less expensive or legal to instal Mac Os on a PC.

Macs vs PC? Since Apple switched to Intel you can install Windows on Mac and OSX on PC, so their hardware is bassicaly the same thing. So it;s mostly aestehtics/energonomics choice here. I prefer PCs because they offer bigger choice and more powerful components for deskops and for laptops I consider Thinkpads to be much better for my needs than Macbooks.

So the real comparision is between OSX and Windows. I prefer Windows here, it is less polished and slower OS and I do need to put some work into it to make it secure, unlike with OSX, at the same time however to me it's worth the additional effort because of much better software and hardware selection. Bassicaly everything I do everyday with my computer I can do better or in worst case every bit as good on Windows as on OSX and there's plenty of what I need that I can't get on OSX. So for me it's PC and Windows over Mac and OSX, not just because of gaming, but also because of other tasks I use computer for.
