In other words, "I'll pay double the cost to have someone else do some rather simple work and receive my aesthetically pleasing computer in a nice white container."
I don't see how being usable right out of the box counts as a valid point, when obviously the lifespan of your computer will be for at least a couple of years.
buhu you have to wait 1 hours tops to get your PC running before you can use it..
the only pro i see with a Mac is that if a part in your computer breaks, all you have to do is throw it away and buy a new one... not like a PC where you have to take the broken part out, buy a new one, put it back in and install it...
sure its several thousand euros cheaper, but hell, not worth the trouble

@Taking1n1 Fuck me I was talking to Shakespeare, that the best you could come up with? My apple experiences, thought hhhm give an iphone a go, got a 3g. Lost and missing calls constantly, losing home network setting constantly, no video with out an app, no mp3 ring tones, shit itunes software, 2 sets of busted head phones. Mac book, first experience Photoshop crashed , then the mouse stopped working and weighs a fucking ton. Mac and ste jobs = shite. Media hyped consumer bullshit.
I wish people actually knew anyhting about computers. First off, you dont need to do half the shit he's tlakign about.

Im tired of these punk ass computer wannabees having an opinion you dont know shit about how awesome the PC is.
Funnily enough, after ten minutes of unpackaging, my pc was ready to run. I downloaded firefox and bam, I was on the net chatting to my mates again. Never myself downloaded a single driver, although I'm sure my computer has for me. But I like updates, they fix things so I'm not complaining.
As for viruses, haven't had one since I bought it half way through last year. I'm sure that's because of the extra 100 dollars I spent on norton. Good thing the pc was so CHEAP.

People presume that on a mac you can just instantly edit video and create music e.t.c. to an awesome level. Not true. Thats like saying you can make a feature length with windows movie maker. Its not going to happen. To do anything creative on a mac you need either pro studio for music or final cut for video. Same as you would need the adobe studios for a pc. Both types cost near enough £900, the video editing softwares anyway....
yes Macs can get viruses but it is quite rare unless you go to obvious virus sites that have taken the time to write a program that Macs can read which not many people are willing or patient enough to do.
for some reason mac always wants to create home movies and photo albums. i never did or wanted to create one of those. what's the point of a computer that can only create photo albums anyway.

Even after both those payments my PC was $1,000 less than a similarly equipped Mac. So shut up Apple!
ok, dumb ad, i started using my hp mini just out of the box, stop lying about thinks everybody knowns, why buy a 20% extra cost mac for my home, mac its for multimedia works, its not an office or home pc, im tired of 13 years old kids using a 1700usd mac for listening to music.. insane due, i got mac for my photo edition and graphic desing and 3 pcs (2 windows 7 and 1 XP) and my hp mini (my every were pc) for my every day use
First off for macs, Pros are the fact its ready from when you open the box and everything is just where you want it. video editing photo editing etc. Very easy.
Downsides not customiseable MACS DO GET VIRUSES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!! (fanboys suck at lying)
Pc pros, easy to customise so the system does what YOU want. Software is considarabley cheaper, Gaming.
Downsides, crashes (Vista esp) Viruses and driver updates.
@TwiIightSparkle 1st: Donate from? Do you know what donate means? 2nd: What does justin bieber have to do with this? (you like him i guess, because of that you thought about him). 3rd: This is my experience and opinion.
@hawkwreak Actually Macs have driver updates too, they just come with the patches from apple which ensures they are well tested on apple hardware. Driver updating for 3rd party hardware is just as risky as on a PC.
@hawkwreak Lol, I tried Mac OS X 10.5.6 iPC on my Compaq and I had to install kexts for it. But that's very unfair - it's not a proper Mac. But I see your point.
@hawkwreak Not strictly true about drivers, if you don't add new hardware, then you will not need to update drivers, and if it's new hardware (3 years) then you don't need to update drivers.
Mac's do crash just as PC's do as well.
One of the key differences is, Apple tells you a lot of rubbish which isn't true whats so ever.
Yup, thats basically the only difference, what most people don't realize is that macs and PC's use basically the SAME (or very similar) hardware in most cases and all that's different is the software.
PC's are more customizable and somewhat harder to maintain
Macs are easier to use but they're all quite generic and samey.
Up to buyers to decide what they want in a computer.
This isn't a bad thing fanboys, it's their business model, which is why lot's of people like them.
Most mac users can't fathom ever wanting to put in a vew video card, or upgrading their ram.
Macs started with one mouse button for a reason, simplicity for simple people. It's just too bad they're overpriced, considering how quickly they become outdated.
I've been using Macs for my whole life. I have also been using PCs for about half as long (in school and such). For the things that I use the computer for, a Mac suits my purposes better. For others, PCs suit their needs. Everyone has different needs. For some, those needs are suited with a PC, others with a Mac. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages over each other, and neither is better than the other. So, quit your 'my computer is better than yours' and get on with your lives, okay?
ok, im not into debates and stuff, but i will play along. Macbook pro costs about $2000 dollars with 4 gigs of ram, and 2.4 gig processor. My toshiba with windows vista costs $800 dollars and has the same processing speed and ram. Yes macs don't get viruses, but a good protection software for 3 years costs $180 dollars. Which adds uo to about $980. All computers are usually replaced every 3 years because of the short lifespan, so which is the better deal, $980 vs. $2000 over a 3 year period?
i am talking about laptops, although this could also be used in a desktop arguement aswell. I am also avoiding the fact that macs cannot play most games and need to buy a seperate program for that wich needs to be open in order to play the game taking up processor speed making the bitchin 2.4 gig processor into a 2.0 gig, slowing game preformance. macs in my opinion are overpriced.
macs last much longer than PC's in my experience. I know people who still use the original e-macs for proffesional use.
also, Google's chromium OS is coming out soon. computers using that will have a life span as long as it's hardware lasts, as it in itself is a browser and is made for people who use thier computers for mainly browsing.
Yes I have, extensively actually, and concluded that the 10, 15% extra paid for a mac compared to a comparable pc is worth it. I can get into a discussion about that, but I know there's no winners when stubbornness prevail.. so all I'll say is 80% of PC "lovers" would run to a mac store and buy a mac if they can afford it. and Till they can, they'll just go on you tube, watch Mac adds and bash it :)
@mackawy PC "lovers" watch these videos for the same reason as Mac "lovers". They're funny. If you're trying to say that all PC user's who watch this are here to bash it, you are ignorant. I could just as easily say that all Mac users watching this are just watching it to boost their self-esteem and to reassure themselves that it was a good purchase.
Wanna be my PC buddy? I have the same views as you. My cousin had 3 macs, I've had 1 PC. Same amount of time we've owned them. Guess which one ran the best?
LMAO, I have had PC my entire life, the most problems I've had is my laptop doesn't have enough memory for all my music.
With PC if the battery craps out, you just go pay 50$ for a new battery, with MAC you have to take it into the store, wait a month, and then pay out the ass just for a new battery.
I say mac is good, simply because there are a lot of graphic design programs and music making programs which my friends use to make music. Either than that, they are snobby crap.
You can replace a mac battery just as easy as a pc laptop and they last longer, the new ones up to 7 houres and over 1000 charges! There is much more to mac then just making music and movies. the fact that you have been on pc all your life and never had a mac says you cant talk about macs...you dont know what its like to use one or own one. go find someone local who has one and ask to see what its like
UHM I have lots of friends who use macs. I have no use for one, I like PC, I don't like MAC, and I have used one. In numerous schools and they have been shit in my eyes. Get over yourself about using a mac, it does not make you superior. And I know you can replace a battery, but you have to take it into the store and wait for them to do it and pay out the ass for it. Macs are expensive and PC's are for normal people. Most companies still use PC.
most mac people dont say THEY personally better, just the computer works better! and umm NO you DONT have to bring it into the store! i can take my bat right out and change it if i need. i can also get right to my hard drive and ram without too much trouble. so you ARE WRONG there! if you dont like mac, thats YOU. PCs are for BROKE people who cant pay for a mac or arent smart enough to buy used! My mac runs better then ANY windows computer ive used or seen! GET OVER YOUR SELF!
also, if there was no PC over 600bux i might agree macs cost too much, but as there ARE PCs over$1,000 they ARENT! there just isnt as many models out there. NO low end macs, just HIGH END! no you have less to think about, do i get the mac with everything or with even more everything! i can get a slow crappy walmart pc that with 2 houres bat life that will crash and fail or i can get a GOOD Mac for more money. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Mac= Mercedes PC=Ford. and umm ALOT of companies use Mac!
an hour really, ALL macs can get online RIGHT away. it takes 2 min to put in your info then BAM it is ready to go. thats it! no removing anything no setting up anything. it just WORKS right away! while you were setting up your vista crap and stopping it from asking you if its ok to do EVERYTHING i was editing movies jamming tunes and posting anti-pc comments! lets hope that new virus doesnt get you...glad i dont have to worry
actually, my new computer had everything but microsoft office already on it. i didn't have to do anything but set that up and the printer which i would have had to do on a mac.
actually newer macs run right away with most printers so all you have to do is plug it in and it works! take it from someone who HAS a mac, i know what you DO and DONT have to do on it.
@PennMu307PDT oh I have something like that too, as soon as I plugged it into my Mac it searched for drivers and installed, I printed my paper right away without having to fuss over a cd like when I installed it onto my PC
"Most" being the keyword. In my experiences Windows will do the same for compatible hardware. I personally have 2 printers which will not run with Mac OS X.
So you think "big boys" use PC's. Almost every computer engineering doctorate student at my university owns a mac, along with all the professors. Tell them that.
@shplaaaa to only reason "guys who make super-computers" use Linux is because you literally need to make a job of working one. It is NOT set up for commercial use. So, you counter my point with an invalid comment. Mega Nerds that make super computers use Linux because it is an open OS that they can do whatever they want to. Then they use Windows (because the term PC refers to Personal Computer...which mac started you tard) only because Apple had the bright idea to fire Jobs for 11 years.
@shplaaaa and while being fired Microsoft built a monopoly which Apple is slowly crushing now that Jobs is back in the game. So yea....the reason I use a Mac has nothing to do with "free" anything. We pay for what we get and I pay for quality. (mind you I build my own Windows Desktops but all my other products are Apple. Just cant really get around not using Windows now a-days that easy).
i'm not an apple fan but i'm not a microsoft fan either. back when the G4 was still out, there was some company that had thousands of macs for their servers and it was faster than most major windows servers. and your city police dept is retarded for paying that much money for a mac and then paying more money to put windows on it. and people who REALLY like to customize computers and the REAL big boys like google run linux, not windows
Is the setup really that important. I have a macbook pro, but couldn't care less about setting it up. As long as the actual computer works well, why should I care about set up when I;m deciding?
I have an imac, and bing bang bosh, ready to go, just like that, :D with a PC your there for ages plugging in loads of crap lol 2 plugs on mac, the mains, and the keyboard, mouse plugs into keyboard. I love macs I still use PC's but I prefer macs.
USB? u have usb sockets in the keyboard, and at the back, and if you need more you can always get an external socket?But I found I dont need more than I have. Speakers, its built in and sounds amazing, especially when I am editing my films, I can really hear the sound and not need headphones for it to be clearer, and with DVDs the sound is beautiful
These are nice CMs but I like the Japanese versions more Mr PC and Mac are more friendly and respectful of each other (so are the comments *looks down comment section in horror*) lol
lol, i have a mac and i play all the games i want, by a simple bootcamp or vmware or parallels. you ignorant and monkey cheescake kidda. if you like cables and dust, enjoy it and put it in your back. i have an imac and a clean desktop, and a computer better than yours.
It's all preference, you're not unique if you buy any product. I PERSONALLY prefer mac because of the problems I had with vista. But you can use a PC, who gives a shit. If you have to argue and bully people into taking sides, you need to get a life. I sure a multi-million dollar corporation can defend itself and doesn't need some fanboy crusader to fight its battles.
if Windows made attack ads like these (which is all they are by the way and totally untrue and unbiased) there would be many more solid arguments and reasons that made sense to buy a PC rather than a Mac
(by the way it's much nicer to PERSONALIZE your own PC profile than to have a totally un-unique Mac procuct with 10million just like it out there)
you want the perfect computer do yourself a favor and build it yourself. and yes macs are overpriced your paying doulble the price worth of hardware in a mac but I guess thats apart of I life. $2000 for a mac dam. I mean I got a I7 920 foxconn x58 chipset running 6 gigs DDR3 1600mhz thermaltake v8 cpu cooler, 4890 ASUS ATI CARD overclock in a cooler master haf 932 full tower case mod. with a 850 watt PS and 2 one terabytes of harddrive space in raid 0 2nd 500GB vista 64bit price $1600
I have installed many a pc. Download drivers at setup? That's a shitty manufacturer. Reading? What? Deleting trial software? Most people never do. Whitlst iMovie may be superior. Vista coms with movie maker and dvd maker. Oh did i say vista? Yep. To bad all of your heads are full of shitty bias that keeps you from realizing that vista isin't that bad.
I didn't say there was anything special. Just the fact that Vista has it and it works. Do i use it? Hell No. I use sony DVD architect 3.0 Pro. I have a mac and a pc. However i find that the pc just works. The mac? I gotta trick it to do anything.
I have setup PCs too. I didn't need to install drivers (even for my printer). Also, nobody reads the manual (even though any device which is in any way useful comes with one), and deletion of the trial software came over time (although it helps bring down the cost of PCs).
Vista is much like XP if you turn account control off (shock horror) which i did cos i write programs and don't want to keep giving permission to run them.

Ye, i tried to hack my PC to run leopard too but i've loosed all my data(300 GB of data on my notebook, by the way, there were a Intel Pentium Processor). I can't install it on simple PC. Mac it's just a dream of excellence for me(it costs to much).
I bought my computer from HP and it came all prepared. All I had to do was finish Vista's setup. Which took like 5 minutes. Then I installed a game. The whole process was like 15 minutes.
In other words, "I'll pay double the cost to have someone else do some rather simple work and receive my aesthetically pleasing computer in a nice white container."

@Ericnorify Did you donate your PC from Justin Bieber?
My Windows Vista PC crashed a fuckton, even on NOTEPAD.
With Windows 7, that has fucking changed - less crashes, sexier Aero and most of my drivers were preinstalled, that weren't in Vista.
Also from IT Crowd:
"What kind of operating system does it use?"
"It's uhh VISTA!"
"WE'RE GOING TO DIE."

@hawkwreak Actually Macs have driver updates too, they just come with the patches from apple which ensures they are well tested on apple hardware. Driver updating for 3rd party hardware is just as risky as on a PC.

@hawkwreak Lol, I tried Mac OS X 10.5.6 iPC on my Compaq and I had to install kexts for it. But that's very unfair - it's not a proper Mac. But I see your point.

@hawkwreak Not strictly true about drivers, if you don't add new hardware, then you will not need to update drivers, and if it's new hardware (3 years) then you don't need to update drivers.
Mac's do crash just as PC's do as well.
One of the key differences is, Apple tells you a lot of rubbish which isn't true whats so ever.
Geoff900 3 months ago
@hawkwreak
Yup, thats basically the only difference, what most people don't realize is that macs and PC's use basically the SAME (or very similar) hardware in most cases and all that's different is the software.
PC's are more customizable and somewhat harder to maintain
Macs are easier to use but they're all quite generic and samey.
Up to buyers to decide what they want in a computer.
Personally I'm a PC laptop, but Apple phones...
Some sort of bastard child of Computing lol.

This isn't a bad thing fanboys, it's their business model, which is why lot's of people like them.
Most mac users can't fathom ever wanting to put in a vew video card, or upgrading their ram.
Macs started with one mouse button for a reason, simplicity for simple people. It's just too bad they're overpriced, considering how quickly they become outdated.
GtheMVP 2 years ago
I've been using Macs for my whole life. I have also been using PCs for about half as long (in school and such). For the things that I use the computer for, a Mac suits my purposes better. For others, PCs suit their needs. Everyone has different needs. For some, those needs are suited with a PC, others with a Mac. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages over each other, and neither is better than the other. So, quit your 'my computer is better than yours' and get on with your lives, okay?
brokensongbrokensoul 2 years ago
ok, im not into debates and stuff, but i will play along. Macbook pro costs about $2000 dollars with 4 gigs of ram, and 2.4 gig processor. My toshiba with windows vista costs $800 dollars and has the same processing speed and ram. Yes macs don't get viruses, but a good protection software for 3 years costs $180 dollars. Which adds uo to about $980. All computers are usually replaced every 3 years because of the short lifespan, so which is the better deal, $980 vs. $2000 over a 3 year period?
abomination6924 2 years ago 2
i am talking about laptops, although this could also be used in a desktop arguement aswell. I am also avoiding the fact that macs cannot play most games and need to buy a seperate program for that wich needs to be open in order to play the game taking up processor speed making the bitchin 2.4 gig processor into a 2.0 gig, slowing game preformance. macs in my opinion are overpriced.
abomination6924 2 years ago
macs last much longer than PC's in my experience. I know people who still use the original e-macs for proffesional use.
also, Google's chromium OS is coming out soon. computers using that will have a life span as long as it's hardware lasts, as it in itself is a browser and is made for people who use thier computers for mainly browsing.

Yes I have, extensively actually, and concluded that the 10, 15% extra paid for a mac compared to a comparable pc is worth it. I can get into a discussion about that, but I know there's no winners when stubbornness prevail.. so all I'll say is 80% of PC "lovers" would run to a mac store and buy a mac if they can afford it. and Till they can, they'll just go on you tube, watch Mac adds and bash it :)

@mackawy PC "lovers" watch these videos for the same reason as Mac "lovers". They're funny. If you're trying to say that all PC user's who watch this are here to bash it, you are ignorant. I could just as easily say that all Mac users watching this are just watching it to boost their self-esteem and to reassure themselves that it was a good purchase.

LMAO, I have had PC my entire life, the most problems I've had is my laptop doesn't have enough memory for all my music.
With PC if the battery craps out, you just go pay 50$ for a new battery, with MAC you have to take it into the store, wait a month, and then pay out the ass just for a new battery.
I say mac is good, simply because there are a lot of graphic design programs and music making programs which my friends use to make music. Either than that, they are snobby crap.
absinthelover420 2 years ago
You can replace a mac battery just as easy as a pc laptop and they last longer, the new ones up to 7 houres and over 1000 charges! There is much more to mac then just making music and movies. the fact that you have been on pc all your life and never had a mac says you cant talk about macs...you dont know what its like to use one or own one. go find someone local who has one and ask to see what its like
twiztidsidfreak13 2 years ago
UHM I have lots of friends who use macs. I have no use for one, I like PC, I don't like MAC, and I have used one. In numerous schools and they have been shit in my eyes. Get over yourself about using a mac, it does not make you superior. And I know you can replace a battery, but you have to take it into the store and wait for them to do it and pay out the ass for it. Macs are expensive and PC's are for normal people. Most companies still use PC.
absinthelover420 2 years ago
most mac people dont say THEY personally better, just the computer works better! and umm NO you DONT have to bring it into the store! i can take my bat right out and change it if i need. i can also get right to my hard drive and ram without too much trouble. so you ARE WRONG there! if you dont like mac, thats YOU. PCs are for BROKE people who cant pay for a mac or arent smart enough to buy used! My mac runs better then ANY windows computer ive used or seen! GET OVER YOUR SELF!
twiztidsidfreak13 2 years ago
also, if there was no PC over 600bux i might agree macs cost too much, but as there ARE PCs over$1,000 they ARENT! there just isnt as many models out there. NO low end macs, just HIGH END! no you have less to think about, do i get the mac with everything or with even more everything! i can get a slow crappy walmart pc that with 2 houres bat life that will crash and fail or i can get a GOOD Mac for more money. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Mac= Mercedes PC=Ford. and umm ALOT of companies use Mac!

IBM / the guys that make super-computers prefer linux over mac. Here is what they prefer when it comes to perfomance : Linux, PC, Mac
The reason why you use mac may be because of some free software.
shplaaaa 2 years ago
@shplaaaa to only reason "guys who make super-computers" use Linux is because you literally need to make a job of working one. It is NOT set up for commercial use. So, you counter my point with an invalid comment. Mega Nerds that make super computers use Linux because it is an open OS that they can do whatever they want to. Then they use Windows (because the term PC refers to Personal Computer...which mac started you tard) only because Apple had the bright idea to fire Jobs for 11 years.
Sandman4432 1 year ago
@shplaaaa and while being fired Microsoft built a monopoly which Apple is slowly crushing now that Jobs is back in the game. So yea....the reason I use a Mac has nothing to do with "free" anything. We pay for what we get and I pay for quality. (mind you I build my own Windows Desktops but all my other products are Apple. Just cant really get around not using Windows now a-days that easy).

i'm not an apple fan but i'm not a microsoft fan either. back when the G4 was still out, there was some company that had thousands of macs for their servers and it was faster than most major windows servers. and your city police dept is retarded for paying that much money for a mac and then paying more money to put windows on it. and people who REALLY like to customize computers and the REAL big boys like google run linux, not windows

It's all preference, you're not unique if you buy any product. I PERSONALLY prefer mac because of the problems I had with vista. But you can use a PC, who gives a shit.

I have setup PCs too. I didn't need to install drivers (even for my printer). Also, nobody reads the manual (even though any device which is in any way useful comes with one), and deletion of the trial software came over time (although it helps bring down the cost of PCs).
Vista is much like XP if you turn account control off (shock horror) which i did cos i write programs and don't want to keep giving permission to run them.
