  • You have used QuickTime. No comment...

  • It's actually quite unfair, isn't it? You don't use a recording software for Windows, but you do for a Mac. :/ Wouldn't the programme take up space and affect Mac's sped and such?

  • I tried that live background, those fish irritate the hell out of me.

  • BUT YOU DIDN'T RECORD THE VIDEO DIRECTLY ON THE PC. Use Hypercam 3 on the pc then show this. And use WINDOWS media player >.<

    These videos don't prove anything! That is why it aggrivates me so much! No matter which side of the argument. The only difference between mac and pc is that macs are more expensive and more fun to use, whilst PCs run more kinds of software. AND GUESS WHAT? A PC CAN RUN HACKINTOSH AND A MAC CAN RUN BOOT CAMP WINDOWS.

  • @almann1117 true, except macs arent more fun to use

    srsly whats fun about mac?

    PCs can run most of the games

    macs cant.

  • Actually, the Intel Core Two Duo is worse then the Xeon Quad by far, i have both chipsets and notice a significant difference between the two.

  • you are comparin a quad and a duo its like comparing the i7 with amd phenom x2

  • Twhat about the 12 core mac Pro. What about the virus affecting the PC? Why is it in professional audio/video studios Imacs and Mac Pros are standard?

    Sure PC is cheaper. I do think Macs are overpriced. However, I think Apple has gone for a wealthier market. A Ferrari is no more reliable than a Ford, but Ferrari market to the wealthy. So does mac. Hence the price

    There is no doubt Mac stability re viruses etc is superior to PC and there aren't cable and shit everywhere

  • Why would you compare the two? We clearly know that the Windows machine would lose.

  • The best video was the cat and the baby.

  • i think that windows is worse than mac. mac is faster, and you only opened 38 quicktime files but you may have opened more windows in mac. so, why didn't you do that?

  • I could see if you based everything MAC vs PC from this video, then PC would be the clear choice, however there are many variables and considerations this didn't take into account. I HAD an intel core 2 duo PC and it was awesome, until I got into 3d rendering and exporting HD videos.... then it was a friggin DINOSAUR, and HAD to go to MAC.

  • @cliftoncasida Bingo! You got it. Mac is a professional rendering computer for reasons you state. That is one reason why Pro studios have them as standard. Not being affected by viruses is another

  • try rendering a 3d scene using pc and mac u'll know the difference

  • @s1y1n1

    true

    my i7 gaming machine processes a 200gb raw avi 2x faster then my gf's mac workstation for 5k :)

    cinema 4d renders also faster but that may be because i have overclocked ram & cpu althou her mac has 2 cpu's

  • @EvilCutz The i7 is either a Dual or QuadCore CPU, technically you're running 2 or 4 cpus. That's not a fair comparison, also the G5 is a 6 year old PowerPC CPU. I don't think your PC would outperform a Mac that had the same hardware specs, considering that Apple uses Xeons in the Mac Pro now.

  • @jfcash84

    Shes got a dual xeon, 12gb ram macpro that has 2 physical cpus with 16threads(i may be wrong,maybe8), i got 1 physical cpu @4.3ghz with 4cores, 8threads + overclocked ram. There is a reason why a lot of moviemakers make a render cluster with 3 i7 machines instead of rendering on a mac server....

  • @EvilCutz i'll take your gf's workstation

  • @s1y1n1 for or against mac? this pc would struggle with rendering in comparison to the mac but a workstation pc would wipe the floor with a mac pro, cheaper too

  • @s1y1n1 a high end PC will still rape any mac pro at any task,video or graphics rendering and realtime

  • Xeon is a server proccecor

  • thx for showing us the system specs so we know its legit...

  • mmm.....yeah interesting to play 38 clips at the same time....but what about working? I start an app on Seven, oh...there's a thread that is in starvation, oh a process blocked..... talk about the real problems: windows is a monolith OS...if an app die..then the os is blocked too...mac osx and linux are layered os, with a kernel and then apps-layers...this is a logic way to think an OS.... microsoft still use the same arch from w95... until this will not change, I will use my mac.

  • Impressive Core 2 Duo.

  • what the fuck 16G of RAM - who the fuck uses this shiit.? Movie Director?

  • next time , try crysis in all ultra in enthusiast |:-)

  • you do realize videos are procesed on the gpu not the cpu right?

  • dude did you know that adeatrat accout got suspended

  • whatever you guys say..... nobody give a shit!

    windows seven? its not in the market yet, so dont talk shit, OK? beta versions dont count

    but you are all assholes... dont compare a cheap one VS a very expensive one

    dumb ass!

  • and with windows seven a crash to fucking steve jobs :)

  • mac is not too bad..... but windows does the same SHIT and a very cheap price

    if u buy an expensive mac..... dan! with $5000 you can get a QuadCore Extreme, Vista X64, 8Gb for RAM DDR3, an EVGA790i Ultra and 2 9800GX2 (like mine :D....dam.. what a lucky guy! hehe) and 2 Raptors in Raid 0 !!!!! + 1Terabyte for storage, and 2x 24" LCD

    compare with my beast.... mac is a lil bitch!

    DO NOT compare a cheap windows computer vs an expensive mac... if you do, you are the biggest Dumb Ass in the worl

  • But then you dont get iLife or FCP or OS X so whats the point of that? Plus the Mac Pro looks better and will no doubt last longer than a cheap POS windows PC.

  • how did u get the vish swimming for ur background?!? and can i do it on a mac?

  • YES

  • FUCKIN SKILZZZZZZZ CHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA mac's forever

  • why are you using apple quicktime on the pc and weird software on the mac?

  • pls tell me how to gave the moving fishes walp[aper

  • this is part of the windows vista ultimate extras.

    in the ultimate version you can set .wmv vids as wallpaper.

    These videos will play in loop mode

  • Wow the windows PC shows 8 windows running and the mac shows more than 70 movies at the same time OF COURSE THE FUCKING SHITTY WINDOWS PC IS GONNA WIN!

  • @Steven3657 - what video were you watching? At 4:45, it clearly shows 65 movies playing, not 8.

  • Comment removed

  • You're right.

  • @Alexsiete7 No, that's not how it works, drawing the actual window is the easy part...

  • @GlitchesofWar Why did you bother to reply to a 2 years old comment?

  • @Alexsiete7 Did not see the date.

  • @GlitchesofWar Kay.

  • @Alexsiete7 Does it matter how old a comment is? It's not like the person saw it two years ago. Dipshit.

  • @Alexsiete7 Eh, the windows machine has fish swimming on the desktop too. fAnboi

  • @MrDarcyzPP This is why I ask again. Why would you, or that other guy bother to reply to a 2 years old comment? I don't care anymore about this.

  • whoops, I meant core 2 duo. sorry.

  • i forgot to add that xeon is for servers not for home use... it's absolutely useless at home. stupid apple WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

  • ugh, xeon. Its not suppose to be a personal use.

  • yep... someone's not being entirely truthful here...

  • OK, so why does every major sound, film or animation studio have Macs?

    Mac pro's maybe more expensive, but thats because they are quality with service and meant for those who really need the power. Like companies studios etc.

  • ah there's the thing mac lovers talk 24/7 the only reason they use macs, is cause IT'S DESIGNED FOR STUDIO PEOPLE!!! seriously! mac's OS wasn't based on people uses it was STUDIO uses. so unless you're a studio guy like my buddy. stick with the good old pc. studios forget pc. it sucks at that kinda stuff

  • I work in a studio, with audiovisual production and software development. The only machine capable of running the software live is the Mac Pro. So yeah, that would be a pretty good reason I beleive.

  • then you have a very good reason to use macs =D

  • @inofaith hmmm, software development ot mac only? have you had a look at workstation dual xeon pcs?

  • @inofaith did you try atleast installing powersupply in PC and then try to run it and install your software?

  • @inofaith Actually, that's a half-truth myth. Yes, there is SOME businesses that use macs, but really HUGE movie companies run Windows to render their films because it's the only machine strong enough to do so and the programs used only WORK for Windows.

  • @withthedragon Render farms are probably all linux based. with a mac osx server to deal out the jobs, the pc machines are like the work horses, rendering for pixar etc.

  • @inofaith Well I would not say they are expensive because they are more powerful. I would say they are more expensive because they target the artsy fartsy types and that is what they specialize in. The brand that apple sells is all about media for people that are into the professional business of that kind of stuff. PCs are for all around computing and most of all number crunching! LOL Also PCs enjoy loads more software because its open source... Macs are closed so your limited...

  • @inofaith

    do u lnow the GOV use IBM not the fucking mac

  • @inofaith Correct if your serious about ur career in music or in most applications you role mac.... Macs last forever and its hard to virus them since most people who creat viruses only make them towards PC USERS EAT IT! PCS ARE BETTER THAN MACS_ HAHAHA WHAT BULLL CRAPPPP...

  • @checkcheckuploads Well, now you mention that.

    I'd say that PC are better than macs... depending on what type of computer user you are.

    IF you are a Professional in music / photo / video and need something reliable and durable... a mac is well worth it.

    IF you are a normal computer user that needs all the basics... and your carreer and deadlines don't depend on the work you do on a computer. Then a mac is not worth it.

    oc there are pro's using pc's. I'm not saying they're not.

  • i bet you lied about the 16gb of ram if you prove it ill believe u but u definately just faked it to make the mac look bad

  • The PC won because all windows are drawn by the GPU unlike the Mac were its all drawn by the CPU

  • That's okay. You still get a piece of **** and we get an aircraft grade computer. ;)

  • not bad.

  • PC OWNS

    STFU STUPID MACFAGS

  • yea i hate macs so dam much, hey was up solaris copiers

  •  4-ever

  • nice , ill make a screen capture vid soon of what i can do with me quad core q6600 and 8 gigs of ram , itll be like " 12 firerfox windows all playing utube vids , 1 full game of FEAR , 6 project64 emulators all with loaded games , 12 music players all playing music and 50 video files all playing with VLC , hope to make the vid soon :)

  • microsoft has shares in Apple and Apple has shares in MS, this test isnt a fair one for a number of reasons mainly both machines are running different OS's, these os are very different in the way they handle your hardware, vista is not the best os to show that hardware off just like osx is not the best to show the mac off, try this test again using the same OS be it vista on both osx on both or a GNU/Linux distro on both test should be alot fairer

  • i agree, but we're also evaluating the performance of the OS.

  • you crapped all over em macfanbois. bravo.

  • U should have used both quads and not a dou vs. quad. U should have used 2 same OS, if not, same Quad CPU and diff OS.

    PS:

    Freaking mac tards, 3-Way SLi of GTX 280 OC and 4X Crossfire of 4870X2 will own u.

  • I'll give you some informations about your favorite OS, Windoze. I'm posting this since the beginning of August an no one answered.

    1) Can't remap the MMIO

    2) Not fully POSIX compatible

    3) GDI+ runs in kernel space

    4) Kernel is not preemptive

    5) 64-bit versions has a 32-bit kernel and 32-bit APIs

    6) SMP is slower than the one in Linux, Mac OS X or BSD

    and i could continue...

  • i think youre talking about mac. lol. windows rule!!!~ do you know who makes programs compatible for macs? microsoft!! cuz mac kisses bill gates' balls!

  • Steve Jobs, WWDC 2007, Introducing Core Animation

    Mac Pro Quad Xeon @ 2.66 GHz

    2400 Quicktime video playing at the same time with no lags in a 3D space with moving camera.

    OWNED

    PC SUCKS

    YOU DON'T HAVE CORE ANIMATION

  • wow i would really love to watch all those videos at once i guess i will spend £899 on mac just to watch videos im sold.

  • PC rocks

  • i think both of em didn't fail you cant realy compare those two with putting up lots of difrent movie's and stuff i think you are goning to need a special program that's not yet invented

  • tweaking

  • plus he/she has quad core.

  • First of all, it's all dependent on the hardware. The default GFX card in the Mac Pro is only an 8800. You can upgrade that with something way better like a GTX 280. Obviously, a GTX 280 would win against an 8800. Second of all, the Mac Pro can play A LOT more than 27 sub-HD videos at once. Thirdly, with 16 GB of RAM and a quad core, you can do a lot more multitasking on your Mac. My MacBook Pro can play that. Install Windows on your Mac Pro and do a FAIR comparison.

  • a 5600 quadro would be even better

  • mac pro = fail

  • false it doesn't do the same.

  • I have a high end Vista computer and a High end mac they both to me are fast at what they can do. It all depends on what you like better.

  • why didnt u try some more vids with the mac pro? it could have done much more than just 27 -.-

  • the titles of song in the movie to windows?

  • Unknown title

  • i remember going to an Apple store and opened up liek 20 youtube windows each running a video

    all of a sudden a staff member came to shut the computer down because it was "hogging the bandwidth"

    Windows Vista for the win!

  • internet doesnt have to deal with a worse operating sytem..

  • i know, but I didnt say anything about the OS

    just simply promoting my experience as a Windows user.

  • dude your my hero

    i knew macs sucked

    but u made a statement

    u know

  • you're full of shit, the images you opened up in the MacIntosh weren't the same as the ones you opened on the PC side, you may trick some easily gullible idiots, but not all of us.

    I dare you to open the exact same images on that crap of a computer you have there. Also you could have tweaked the video resolutions because the videos aren't also the same.

    Seriously get a clue you fake idiot.

  • phillipnee i use a pc for 3D CAD software with ATI FIRE an INTEL Q6600 and 8 GB ram and vista ultimate 64 bit and its damn fast... Windows is even better.... There is only one reason to buy a mac.... the design is very cool an its easy to use.....

  • c'mon, speaking of multi-tasking, try to run some scientific computations and 3d animation then tell us how good windows vista is compare to leopard.

  • man i love the person who made dis vid, no homo... now people can finally STFU bout sayin dat macs r better...f u !

    Nice vid !!!!!

  • Mac es la polla!!! es el mejor S.O que hay!!! NO LO COMPARES CON WINDOWS POR FAVOR !!!!! QUE WINDOWS ES PATETICO

  • I think the real question is, where can we get that wallpaper?

  • OWLMoviestudios... My new install of Vista from XP came with nothing but it's required things to run.

  • Know what? A Mac Pro can do all that you showed. To make the background a movie, you need a free tool and that's it.

    And, a standard iMac can beat that. Why aren't you comparing a high-end PC to a Mac Pro instead?

    That was barely anything for a Mac Pro. My PowerMac is just as good as that PC.

  • umm quad xeon is a very fast quad core processor i think you fail to grasp that any anyway vista cna make the background a movie to macs succccckkkkk

  • No, as you can see a Mac can do whatever the PC can. You didn't show that in the video. You showed little things and didn't show exactly what the mac pro can do.

    Bottom line, he didn't show the full capabilities.

  • Cool, Quicktime is an Apple product and it's running on a Mac basher's PC!

  • with what application do you open all those picture files at the same time?

  • 1-Does not show PC "Properties" or Apple "About This Mac" specs could be anything.

    2-No vid card specs. Vid card mem/proc/pipes has a lot to do with video performance.

    3-What Mac is he really using. Does not show Dock on Apple. This could be a G4 or G5 for all we know.

    4-Biggest prob, this guy posts only one vid in each comparison and does not support claims later. This is very trollish of him.

  • its a mac pro...

  • If it is he just copied someone elses video.

  • sigh the vid card has nothign to do with this since these are just videos not games most of the power usage is coming from teh processor and ram maybe ify ou used a pc you would know this

  • Dude, let the people that know something about computers talk, ok. Video cards have nothing to do with 'video' output? Take a computer course. Video cards do not have 'everything' to do with video but they do have something to do with it.

  • I don't think he has enough money to buy a Mac pro anyways.

    So, he's cheating!

  • Very nice video, but you should have screen captured the PC too ;)

    Does Leopard comes with an screen capture program ??

  • What do you mean? Windows Vista doesn't come with any movie screen capture software as I can remember.

    Mac OS X comes with a picture screen capture software which is much more advanced than Print Screen.

  • Good, that's just bloatware for mactards.

  • Wow, there's a lot of bloatware for wintards too.

  • so true..

  • I find this hard to believe. My MacBook with 2GB's RAM can pull this of but a Mac Pro with a much faster processor, a better video-card and processor can't?

    Also, the Mac Pro footage ( IF it actually was recored on a Mac Pro ) was apparently recorded with recording software. Now assuming that it was recorded on a Cinema Display, which has an extremely high resolution, it takes up a high amount of it's processor power already. The footage from the PC running Vista was recorded with a camera...

  • exactly...

    AND we have to consider the framrate at which the Mac's screen was recorded.

  • yeah no doubt you can pull off some crazy processing with a PC... But who cares, that basically because of great hardware support, you could do the same on linux with the same hard ware.. the OS isn't a big deal any more when it comes to performance on loaded machines... Here's why Vista sucks... Service Pack 1... wiped out entire ability to boot.. can't even get safe mode..

    Whens the last time you heard a MAC users complain about a SP destroying their system? I am not even a MAC user lol!

  • and apple no does not have ddr3. atleast at the moment so they dont have beter hardware.

  • I own an Intel BOXDX38BT LGA 775 X38, 4GB DDR3, E6850 CPU & ATI Radeon X1950XT 256MB - Not the fastest, but rock solid stability and zippy enough for what I do.

    I didn't say fastest, just higher end (Intel Mobile Express chipset). The same chipset's found in Dell XPS M1530 and HP 9700 series laptops. Reliability costs a little more, but it is well worth it. Ppl say their $1200 laptops are as good as my MacBook Pro, but they don't have 1/2 the reliability or functionality.

  • the comparation must do with the same number of thing you cannot run 23 video on mac and 60 on windows. you must run 60 video on mac and 60 video on windows if you want to be right. sorry for my bad english

  • its because hes proving the mac cant do it metalbat0 >.>

    Anyways what graphics macbook have right now as of current generation?

    functionality is unargueble due to the fact they might use their computers for other things. I dont get what your getting at about chipset, if its the same thing how can it be higher end?

  • Apple is always behind when it comes to cutting edge technology.

  • haha Ive had this pc for 2 years now a dell dimension 3100 and its has not crashed on me once

  • Umm....

    You do realize that Apple INVENTED:

    Computer mice (HIDs)

    The trackpad

    Firewire / 1394a,b

    GUI's

    Palmtop / touchscreen

    So...if shaping technology is "behind" ... then whatever.

    By the way, I'm not an Apple fan - just a geek who knows his facts. xD

  • Well you don't know your facts too well do you? Apple got the GUI and mouse from Xerox, they bought it from them. And apple still to this day doesn't have a touchscreen computer. And if you are talking about the iPhone, well that idea was done before.

  • True. I had forgotten that. They did buy from Xerox. I'll give you that. However, they do have touchscreen technology. As an Apple developer (didn't say fan) ... as a developer, I can tell you that yes...there IS something in the works for mass production. Think iMac + iPhone touch screen technology. Kinda cool. :D Actually...very cool...

    The trackpad, Firewire, mouse, and touchscreen ARE Apple inventions. xD

  • Xerox invented the mouse.

    "The HP-150 from 1983 was probably the world's earliest commercial touchscreen computer"

    gui-Xerox PARC. bought by apple

    multi-touch In 1984 Bell Labs engineered a multi-touch screen that could manipulate images with more than one hand.

  • And about the car thing, porches are dumb, that a back heavy and are shit at quick turns. BMD, i think you mean BMW, is alright, because, i dont race anyways and its probably cheaper and GETS ME AROUND >.> i dont care what car a get, if it gets me from point a to point b, then its fine, its like Mac and PC, PC gets MOST people to where they need, and for a lower price. End of Story. Yes Vista sucks, no question, but in the long run i save more money fine by me.

  • What i mean is, thank you, your the first person who atchully backs a reason why they would use a mac.

  • It could be any car more expensive than a Kia or Ford, it was an ex.. And yes, Apple does use higher end parts. My MB on my PC cost $250 vs my daughters which is only $59. More func., stability and more bandwidth. I just did my own test with my MacBook Pro and monitored mem/cpu usage.  I played 5 HD 720p vids and my CPUs were not even tapped before I started loosing frames. I totally forgot about the video card factor. The more grafix card mem u have the more vids u can play.

  • and what mobo were you using? Yes i think anyone who is arguing should know the more GPU memory the more texture, ect can run on a screen at once. BUT, depends on your gpu speed aswell and how you GPU uses its memory. For example, the 4870 ati has lower busrate but 512 mb of ddr5, well guess what nvidia has 512 mb of ddr3 all the need to top notch ddr5 512mb is to raise busrate. BTW ddr5 is alot faster then ddr3.

  • Look guys, Apple's are about 10% more expensive, mainly due to two reasons - their parts are higher end and the second reason is because they don't sell enough to recoup costs. Look at it this way, the Apple experience is better IMO vs Vista. I would rather have the driving experience of an Audi, Porsche or BMD vs a Kia or Ford. Sure, you can mod them endlessly and sure they could be faster than a Porsche or BMD but ooohhh that ride/experience - they just cannot compare.

  • okay, you need it for your video memory for Final Cut Studio, w/e is, im not going to argue with that, cause i have no clue about that program. First of all, i do have money, not alot, but i do have money to buy songs, but if theres a more affordable if not free alternative, score. That computer i did see, was a HP. Also did i mention I DONT CARE ABOUT VISTA >.> and no, apple doesn't have higher end parts it has different parts period.

  • Please could someone tell me why people buy windows!!!!

  • as you can see, better multitasking.

  • NO MACS CAN DO ALL THAT!!!!

  • macs r so overrated

  • Just recently got a mac book pro. Had the intentions of only running pro tools and reason with it. Piece of junk cant even do that...worst 2500 dollars ever spent. Stay away from apple!!!! their os is good but their hardware is not upgradeable and is extremely over priced. JUST intel stuff.

  • indeed , u pay more for the brand than the material its made from , its like clothing , its all made in china with same cloth , yet put a certain brand on it and it costs more , apple do the same

  • do i need a powerful graphic card to able to do that?

  • love the videos man. keep em up bro :D. btw Kost is steve jobs's boyfriend.lol

  • What is the name of the song on the pc pwnage video part 2, btw i hate macs they have em at school n they have aload of kernal panics were as this laptop has been running vista sience launch with no problems and this only has a 1.7ghz cpu n 2gb ram :P

  • I say it's Windows Vista 64 bit w/ 8GB Ram and the Mac is actually 1 CPU w/ 2GB RAM..

  • that makes sense dude

  • WRONG

  • OK, prove it. The guy that posted this doesn't show the "About This Mac" or "My Computer Properties" on either machine. These machines could be setup with "ANYTHING". Also, maybe there is a flaw in one of the CPU's, or the OS could be corrupt, the memory could be bad... This post is less than honest.

  • you are far more skeptical.

  • hey... dou know if u can use a mighty mouse on a regular pc running windows???

  • Yeah you can but I dont why you want to you should use one on an mac!!!!

  • Xeon is way faster than core 2 duo!!!!

  • clock speeds and more ram doesnt mean its going to be better or faster, get a grip, apple is SHIT. and overpriced.

  • Apple are not shit and deffently not overpriced, if you buy an pc then that is over priced what you get is way not worth it and Intel are in discusion on making xeon Mac exclusive!!!!

  • not that i have anything against you, get a grip, apples are overpiced, you can basically get a computer thats equivalent if not beter for much less then macpro. mac book around 2 grand if im correct, and many people can build a computer for less then that and beter.

  • Nope, you are wrong. You can build a cheap computer OK, but it won't be Mac quality. Try to build a laptop with 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, WebCam, Blue Tooth, Vista Ultimate, 15.4" Screen, 1" thick, 5.5lbs, Nvidia 256MB, Advanced LCD screen, 1yr parts/labor, multitouch pad and I bet you'll be surprised at the cost. Now, go to Amazon, price out MacBook Pro + 4GB Kingston SODIMMs and wee what is more expensive. If you have an Apple credit card you'll also get $50 bonus on iTunes.

  • first of all Vista is gay, second of all who need 256 mb of gddr on their laptop. Think about it. PS i dont know a single person that buys their music. The only person i know that would do that are people who just like to spend money. and a, theres a latop thats 15 inches at best i saw the other day, all that and more for 1200 bucks. BTW Macbook Pro cost, even the last last generation Apple "MacBook Pro MA464LL/A 15.4" Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, " cost 1,900.

  • 1) I need the vid memory because I use Final Cut Studio.

    2) Everyone you know pirates their music? U must be a kid w/o money then. I just added that because it's a bonus.

    3) Laptop=setup as MacBook Pro at 1200? With Vista Ultimate, BlueTooth, built in web cam, LED scree, and so on? Which puter was that?

    4) I got my MacBook for 1689 w/ 4GB with mail-in rebate and education rebate.

    5) Also, I saved $100 using Aperture vs Lightroom too... All that would be over 2000 from HP or Dell.

  • Can you label a price next time? not just assume something?

  • 2,040.19 w/ 4GB Kingston ram from Amazon Apple store - $150 = $1,890.16 with 2 day free shipping & no tax (I'm a Amazon Prime member).

    HP dv6700t all specs around Apple except:

    the screen sux (no LED and only 1280 x 800 vs Mac 1400x900), no backup utilities, no adv. touch pad, no photo editing software, it is thicker and heavyer BUT it does come with 5gigs of crapware that you'll have to remove :) for a total of $1,749.99 and it ships free in a week and a half vs 2 days for Apple.

  • no that windows PC must have more than a 2.3 dual core and 2GB RAM coz u'r running vista ultimate

  • no -- i have one!!! a mac pro with the 1.5 GB Nvidia graphics card... i ran tests -- it can calculate 10 million digits of Pi in less than 2 seconds! -- also i can run over 800 Quick time movies and EDIT -- yes EDIT HD video at the same time ON 4 FUCKING monitors!!!! that's called POWER!
