    Choose Your Poison: Mac or PC

    Ok, I have been on windows since about '95. Last month, I switched to mac and I have to say I will never go back. I have an iMac (apple.com/imac) 17" screen 1GB Memory, 160 GB Hard Drive, and loving every minute of it. For those who say mac's suck, I would have to disagree. I can say right now, I will not deny: The Mac does not do games. I also say, leave that for nintendo, sony, and Microsoft to release GAME SYSTEMS!!!!! I understand that some people want to have it all in one, but that is one of the only bad reasons people can come up with to diss the Mac.

    I want you guys to compile a list of where Macs shine and PC's falter, and Vice Versa. I'll Start

    Mac:
    +:
    -Better at creating various items such as music, podcasts, movies, pictures, websites and DVDs with iLife
    -Apple thinks of the customer: What could we do to make ease of the computer for the consumer, or even the pro?
    -Amazing Design
    -Apple Remote
    -THE DOCK!!!!
    -Built in iSight on 3/5 of the machines offered
    -Firewire on all models
    -perfect integration with iTunes and iPod.
    -Little to no viruses written for Macs
    -Expose & Dashboard

    -:
    -The Price: I admit it can be pricey to get the piece of hardware you want sometimes. But then again, your not getting a dell that is going to fall apart after two years after getting the cheapest model you could.
    -Again, cannot play most games

    PC
    +:
    -Supports wide Range of Software and hardware
    -More popular
    -Cheap(o)
    -Plays Games

    -:
    -Non Intuitive design of computers & Windows
    -Insane amount of viruses
    -Its not made by apple
    -Intimidating Design
    -Manuals upon manuals to read if your a first time user
    -Can't Run Mac OS X
    -Windows hasn't been updated for five years
    -A pain in the arse to reinstall and remove Windows/wipe out hard drive
    -Spyware and Hackers

    I use a PC instead of a Mac for the same reason I use a real cell phone instead of a Fisher Price one.

      Lmao you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to games.

      "OLOL JUST PLAY IT ON A CONSOLE."

      Oh. OK. I'll just go and play PC-exclusive games on a console right now...

      Macs are good for people who don't actually plan on doing anything with their computer. Me? I actually use it for things.

        Re: Choose Your Poison: Mac or PC

        My dad bought a brand new eMac about a year ago, or more. And just about 6 months ago or so, the computer overheated and went.. CRASH.

        Oh yeah.

        Macs are so awsome.

        They don't last long. =/

        EDIT: Also, I've been usings Macs for like 7+ years now, and I just recently started using Windows XP like.. 3 months ago, and it's so much better. All I need now is enough money to afford my own PC.

            Hi. I'm a Mac. I'm a PC.

            Mac - I support iTunes.
            PC - I do, too.

            Mac - Well, I look cool.
            PC - Anything costing over $900 looks 'cool'.

            Mac - Well...uh...
            PC - Can you play games?
            Mac - No.

            Yeah, I use a PC. I just felt like being sarcastic.

              The PC is bad because it is not made by Apple. Sounds about right to me.

                Sorry, but I'm not stupid enough to get a virus. Even then, I can fix it within 30 minutes with my knowledge of HijackThis.

                Vista, and I just got an update for Windows not too long ago. Not important, though. I update my own computer with my own software.

                Spyware is a nuisance, and I've never had hacking problems.


                Your post more or less proved that Macs were for idiots (VIRUSES AND SPYWARE AND MANUALS--OH MY!), if anything, not that Macs were superior.

                    Call me an idiot but I never really have understood why people look down on other people for not using the kind of computer they think should be used. =\

                      I use a mac, It plays FFR, It plays stepmania, I can do all my work on it, and my parents get them for free from the university that they work at.

                      That's all i care about.

                        I use a Dell PC. It's okay, it only pisses me off ocasionally. I have to admit though, Macs look so much cooler. Ah anyway, I don't see myself with a Mac in the future. XD
