Which brand do you prefer?
I'm a mac user even though Windows 7 is pretty awesome.
We currently have two PC's - a laptop and a desktop, but when the desktop finally dies were going to get a Macbook.
I've always had a PC, but I've now got both. My MacBook is for work and I run two partitions, one Mac and One Windows 7. Don't like Mac, but I guess I just need to give it time.
got a mac and a windows laptop.
only ever used the mac to make my apps... for me the windows wins everytime and i really can't get on with the mac at all... but the way people rate the mac who know their way around both makes me think its better.... i just aint got the time to learn when windows does everything i need (apart from making apps)

H whats the reasoning for duel booting a MAC OS and Windows? I can understand it if your into something creative but need to access MS platforms for work shite but I dont reckon thats you?
Have you seen the prices on macs? Nuff said...

Spot on mate. I'm not creative, but the products I now sell are from the creative world. Need Mac to demo them properly.
Agreed pompous and pretentious equipment for the same sort of people.Quote:

If there is something I like about Macs is their look:cool:.
Anybody who gets or prefers macs are merely ignorant when it comes to computers.
There is literally no reason to buy a mac over a PC. And I dare anybody to try and prove me wrong. When it comes down to it, the only things that Apple sells are overrated, over priced, shiny pieces of shit.
Come at me, bro.
I do like shiny pieces of shit though... wouldn't want to be without my ipod for too long for example.Quote:

There's a reason why the creative industry uses a Mac, and it's to get stuff done in a timely manner.
Now if you're a regular Joe that needs a computer to browse the internet, access email, and watch Youtube, then use a PC because it's much cheaper. A Mac is more for the creative people or people who work in the industries I've mentioned.
Yes the pompous and pretentious ones. ;DQuote:

For graphic editing, sure, maybe. But I am not sure if, the White House, NASA, major top 500 Forbes corporations, etc. mostly use Macs in their offices or not.Quote:

I remember reading a few years ago that the White House, Nasa and those agencies don't use a PC or Mac but something else. Because a PC with windows installed is going to inevitably get crashes, BSOD, a virus, or get hacked. And a Mac can get hack and a trojan but it's rare. I heard it's a variant of Linux that they use. Makes sense because it is arguably the most secure way of using a computer.Quote:
