You can buy a computer for $500 and put mac os on it. It will have the same specs as what is being sold on apple.com. Plus most hardware manufactures will give you a 3 year warranty, depending on the retailer you buy it from, they can offer extended warranty.
My dad gave me 2 grand to get him a new macbook in the mall while he went to sears or something. When I got to the mac store I broke the macbook in half. Best day of my life.
funniest thing is that mac actually gives you error 0 every single damned time it runs into an error. know what error 0 means? it means unidentifiable error.
Truth is nobody bothers to develop anything for mac so they can't get errors or viruses. THE ONLY REASON. Everybody develops for the PC so there is bound to be some people making viruses.
@cstb8 Truth is Apple pays people to make viruses for PC and TechTV even interviewed some of the hackers they employed about a decade ago, and since that arrogant Mac commercial saying Macs don't get Viruses there have been a lot of pissed off PC users making viruses specifically for Macs, and since every mac is virtually identical it's easy to keep up with their defenses. The more popular Macs become, the more that will become a problem.
Oh and Macs can't play over half my game collection.
@Protomasterexe Ya, but anyways, as I said earlier I'm a college student and don't have too much time to play games. I bought my Macbook mainly for school, but it is also powerful enough to the games I enjoy.
@ChainLocked Because some of the best games are computer games, and if you can't play games on your computer you suck! Besides it's not like PCs can't do other things besides play videogames, they do it all.
@TheFenrisWolf84 Wow man... that is really sad. By the way, I can play games on my Mac, I'm just a college student who cares more about his education than virtual worlds. And I didn't say PCs couldn't do other things besides video games. They can, just not as efficiently. And before I get anymore flaming I would like to remind you that the majority of Mac users have had a PC running the Windows OS. Hell, I used WIndows 10 years before I got my Mac. I even built my own $1050 Gaming PC.
it's a joke. it's not real. don't go looking for problems, you'll just create new ones. And you've had plenty of errors, just go look at your system errors and application error logs. you've just never had a crash or a blue screen of death issue. most of PCs crashes are caused by either a bad harddrive or bad memory. both are easily fixed.
They are typically high end so they last longer and have better resale value so you typically only need to upgrade the ram and hard disk (which isn't that hard).
Typical Mac ad... PCs traditionally gave errors like "general protection fault" and "page fault" that require a rough understanding of OS architecture to understand, but they're OS-level errors.
The Macs I've seen say things like "An error type -14 has occurred." Great... can't troubleshoot it without a Mac technicians manual.
I support PCs and Macs on a large scale for a living, and both are actually very reliable now.
The commercial is just making up errors to scare people into buying Macs though. "WMP.DLL" would tell you exactly what needs fixing, but only be one word of the error on a real computer. Error 692 sounds like an old Mac error code, syntax error you'd only see programming or in a command line (on PC or Mac), and fatal error... is just a generic error type - that neither OS displays.
Also, Leopard is quite nice and has been working great at work. Tiger was fun to use, but locked up on me so often on an almost fresh install on a previous-gen Macbook Pro 15" that it felt like I was back in Windows 95. (No error message, but a reboot was needed.) That's ironic considering Apple assumes that's where PCs are in their ads...
The features did make up for it and the presentation was always slick, so it's really a matter of what you're willing to put up with to get things done.
Macs...
Processors so great, had to switch to intel...
Operating system so great, had to use the core of someone else's os...
Mac as a company, so great that their rival had to bail them out in 1997...
