Mac or Pc?

idk where you were seeing that, but a macbook is $1,100. i got mine with taxes, a printer, and applecare for $1,500 i think. maybe a little less.

anyways besides that, i agree with your statement.

mac

some one understands!

i know 2 people who both had a problem with their hard drives and both could get the information off the computer but it would cost 700$ to make it work again, oh and the data was partial. if that happened on a pc u could get a new one for like 200 and u dont have to have the genius squad fix it.

mac book pro with
2.6 ghz processor
4 gigs ram
200 gb hard disc 7200 rpm
512 mb geforece 8600 

$3,400.

PC
2.8 ghz processor
4 gigs ram
512 mb geforce 9600

320 gb hard disc 7200 rpm

$2,050.

faster processor, bigger hard drives, better video card. $1,200 cheaper. is it really that hard?

Did you have difficulty with basic reading comprehension exercises as a child? I don't remember saying Apple had a big ego. Just some of the people who own them.

And you didn't back up your opinion. Sure, now you have, three posts later (after being prompted to do so).

Now that you actually have some logic behind your preference you're no longer seen as an egotistical jerk-- only a jerk.

exactly dude,

people get a new mac and they are like OMG its so much faster then my old pc, well no shit, ur old pc is probably 6 years old, of course the mac is better. 

Apple = sweet designs but incredably overpriced and not practical for a majority of the population right now despite what a bunch of you in here have said.

Most of Apple's computer clientele are dumbass bangwagoners, like most of you, who bought a macbook and do nothing special with it othen then show it off at every fucking chance they get to show how much of a fucking moron you are for actually buying one in the first place. "OMGBBQ It just works" or "its so much easier to use then a pc", "I hate microsoft and their business policies", etc, etc , etc. Must be hard to see when you've constantly got your face in Steve Jobs pants. How hard is it to use a PC that you had to give up and go to a mac? Grade 4 must have been real hard on you guys...just wait till people start getting pissed off at Apple and their shitty business ethics and start making viruses for Mac's...we'll see how many of you MacDrones stay loyal then...

Let me say though that I dont hate Apple any more then I hate Microsoft; but I do I hate stupid trendsters that buy apple products because they wanna be SEEN with apple products. Did you also buy a Louie Vitton laptop bag to go along with it too? Perhaps you also bought a small dog to keep your laptop company while its in the LV bag...fucking sheep...Is MTV your favorite channel also? Cause like, the music there is sooooo good....

Fuck Apple. Fuck Microsoft. But most of all, fuck you to the MacDrones that take whatever shit Steve Jobs spews from his mouth like its the fucking word of God. You people piss me off the most. SHEEP.


*this rant need not apply to people who actually buy a mac for editing/visual design shit since that is what they are best designed for.

If you want to sit there and play your WoW and Counter strike, get a pc.
If you arent a nerd get a Mac.

so if you buy a pc you are a nerd?

No, all i am saying is that all that they are good for is gaming. Might as well go with a mac...

Hmm ok. I'll settle on being a jerk

mac fa sho

this one fits the thread better

good stuff..

this has probly already been answered but you can run windows on the "superior" hardware of an apple machine. i have an imac (one of the newer aluminum ones) and i run XP on there via parallels and i can game. if you need a faster computer than just buy a better version but i think ur all set anyways. my dad works as a software developer so i have been around macs my whole life.

why spend the extra money for an apple to play games though? Most people don't use the features that make Macs what they are and as a result they could save a shitload of money and just get a PC.

Plus when it comes to upgrading/modifing your system
PC > Mac

ok, i have little experience with macs, so simple question.

through bootcamp on a mac, could i put windows xp on rather than vista, and then run microsoft word, excel, etc on the windows side since i like them more than the mac word proccesing thingy?  and if xp is not an option, i can still do it with vista?

you can't get a mac with the same processors, they're too skinny and sleek to fit them in that's why you can only get a 2.6 ghz instead of the 2.8 and the video cards are also slower. frame rate=slower.

MAC

I'm pretty sure that Microsft has a Mac version of its Office suite so you donthave to buy windows to run it. it runs in OS10 or whatever the fuck the operating system is called.

well, i dont. im just saying that the platform requirements arent a problem. ive never bought a mac because of a game. again, i have never owned a windows machine in my life; ive always been around macs so i use them to the extent of my (and their) abilities.

Okay,Sick, but i want to do some edit with my computer.. and i have eum... 1700$ to put.... which mac or which pc?

"PC

$2,050."

as i posted. unless u want a tower, then you can probably do either.
