PC or MAC?

[Maglor]

PC vs Mac threads always end up bad.

~~And referring to Apple computers you only capitalize the M. MAC is Media Access Control iirc.

Well I can't change it now, so excuuuuse me!!!


Besides I like the symmetry of it the way it is!

Don't you have video games to play?

I wish I could...but alas, I am working.

 

[Maglor]

depends in your interests.

if you're into art/music, definitely get a mac.

if you're into the internet/games definitely pc.

Well all my gaming is on the Ps3. My wife is a graphic designer and I am a hobbiest music composer who uses programs like Reason and Q-Base so yeah...

If you are just using it mostly for email/internet and office stuff, I say PC all the way...plus they are less expensive. And for all those people who say PC's get viruses - I've had my laptop for 7 years and haven't gotten one yet. *knock on wood* and I have had no problems - though it's time for me to upgrade and get a new one. My boss's Power Book G4 on the other hand has had to have the hard drive replaced 3 times in 5 years.

Actually the reason I need to do something about my current PC is that it seems to be full of viruses! I haven't been able to use any search engines for about a month, because they all crash my internet as soon as I click a link, and sometimes even just entering a search!

I will tell you this. I have been a PC user for years. Went through tons. I bought my first iMac early last year. It works just like it did the first day I opened the package. No virus scans, no spyware searches, no defragging, nothing. I use it every day and it just WORKS. What else needs to be said? Plus it's a simple setup. See picture. This is it man! One cord hooked up to a wifi connection that is hidden. Can't beat that.

Dude, that picture alone builds a very strong case for Mac!

Honestly there is a bit of learning curve. However, I have no slowdown, no viruses, nothing but a computer that works with no maintenance. I'm not bashing PC's at all. For me a Mac fits.

I own two Macs! I got my buddy on a Mac last week... MACS ROCK!

BEAUTIFUL MACHINES!

PC my whole life, never had a single virus.

You guys need to be more careful with your porn gathering.

No spyware either? Have you ever had to defrag and spend hours "cleaning" things up?

 

[Deckard]

No, never, my friend has encouraged me to do defrags once in a while but I never have needed to.

I can still run all my games on maxed out video settings and have no slow down of frame rate or anything. It still loads up to windows as quickly as the day I got it and everything.

I own a powerbook and two PC desktops. I don't play favorites, though I don't like the snobby attitude from a lot of Mac owners. It's like a lot of them are wearing invisible member's jackets.

You must be some kind of magical wizard.

To be honest, this is the main thing that holds me back from gettign one.

 

[Batty]

I'm a Mac user and don't get the snobby attitude some owners have either. Just remember, we're not all like that.

I'm a PC. I use a Mac at work and just find it more troublesome for simple tasks like trying to save items to a certain folder, etc. I'm always having trouble opening up Microsoft office files - have to keep downloading updates so I can properly convert them. The MacBook has this annoying feature where if you slide your fingers on the pad it will either zoom in or out on whatever you are viewing. Very frustrating since I use the pad to scroll down and then end up zooming stuff. It's a feature that I have yet been able to disable.

If you are just using it mostly for email/internet and office stuff, I say PC all the way...plus they are less expensive. And for all those people who say PC's get viruses - I've had my laptop for 7 years and haven't gotten one yet. *knock on wood* and I have had no problems - though it's time for me to upgrade and get a new one.

Go to:
System Preferences--Trackpad ---and change your settings however you want.

And according to this article over time Macs are cheaper to own and operate in comparison to "Windows" computers. After the initial "shock value" sticker price you don't have to continually upgrade and protect your system with virus protection. Most people keep their Macs for 5+ years as opposed to others that upgrade every 2-3 years.

Screw Macs and PCs. Anybody who is ANYBODY uses a Commodore 64.

Mine's in the attic as well as the three boxes of games, printer, and modem for it.

You should take it out and start using it again. You'd get more programming and work done on it than on an iPad.




Oh, snap.

Lol...but I like more than 16 colors, and the touchscreen is more awesome than the joystick.
