  • I went from Windows to Mac. Best decision ever.

  • Wow.There are 80 pages of comments.Wow

  • @UltimateFighterHero That is because this guy offers unbiased and intelligent reviews, much better than that AppleSoldier guy, he's a fag, just watch one of his 'Windows 7 vs Macintosh" videos.

  • Not even gonna explain why it blows since most of you don't have any idea how it works. With 200 bucks I can get a videocard that support up to 6 monitors and it's better than the video card the 17 inch model whatever comes with. Not to mention the rip off... -Hard to code pointers in Xcode -.-" -If it breaks you can't replace that shit. You gotta talk to a "GENIUS" LOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!! I'm sorry. That's it for me. I have more and more reasons why I think a Mac is almost useless for my purposes.

  • @0cTeT stop being a hater do you real thing people like you saying that you think macs are useless. why do people do this i know like windows and that's fine but some people like macs to you don't like when people say that pcs are crap do you you may not like theme but why are you are you watch this if you hate macs you are a hater and no one likes haters its people like you that give youtube a bad name if you have nothing good to comment than don't comment at all

  • -Drivers don't work properly with Logitech and other good manufacturers (Gigabyte, Razer, Kingston) etc... -Developing applications in XCode is ridiculously dumb. The library is missing lots and lots of stuff I found on Microsoft's library also called net framework. -Wikipedia says it's a hybrid kernel (linux + Mac). Not true. 80% linux. -Every single application you build and you want to sell 20 percent goes to APPLE !? INSANE. Here's a big one... Thunerbolt aka PCI Express and DisplayPort.

  • Wow I didn't know Mac retards had to pay for Snow Leopard. I'm amazed by how much dump steven jobs took on the hardware and how much money he put in the looks of the keyboard. Pros of Mac: -Old keyboard with click, backlit, and aluminum case. That's it. Now get ready for cons...: -No free updates -Bunch of bloatware that comes with Mac (retarded idea) Why get everything? Maybe I don't like Mac's...Guitar Band. Maybe I want another guy's developed app better than that piece of ****.

  • @WARP10CK omg i have the exact same story i went to school right when computer class was mandatory in my elementary school. all the computers were pc's. from the 1st grade all the way to the 10th grade i didn't even realize there was anything other then windows... then one day i enrolled in a music tech class and all the computers were macs... I WAS AMAZED!!! It took me 5 classes to really start to understand the mac but well worth it. now i am an apple lover and am posting from my ipod touch.

  • How the hell are mac's harder to use than windows?! Mac's are the easiest thing ever! You have one simple dock than that shitty start menu with never-ending list of the programs.

    MAC POWER!

  • @gurubear8 ummm windows is awesome and the only reason we have a huge list is because we have support for more than 22 programs. plus your dock is so special anyone who wants a dock can get one. have fun getting a new monitor if you break yours... oh yeah, you cant :P

    PC POWER! (thats right we even sound cooler than you alliteration FTW)

  • @gurubear8 ummm windows is awesome and the only reason we have a huge list is because we have support for more than 22 programs. plus your dock is so special anyone who wants a dock can get one. have fun getting a new monitor if you break yours... oh yeah, you cant :P

    PC POWER! (thats right we even sound cooler than you alliteration FTW)

  • @MrChristgopher Good luck getting rid of the viruses that come with those 22 programs. Yeah, people that own macs can!!!...thats not gunna happen, mac's monitors are made of an aluminum unibody closure.. unlike pc's cheap ass piece of shit plastic! suck on that pc. I got to got to give it too you about the alliteration though.. >:-/

  • @gurubear8 we have much more than 22 programs sorry if i was unclear about that but you can still crack the front of you monitor unless of course apple put aluminum over that plus 7 has malicious software protection now and I've had this 7 computer for well over a year with no virus plus you don't get viruses cause its a waste of time to make one for a mac what will they do, look at you through photobooth watch out -__- plus we have this great thing called antivirus which blocks threats

  • @gurubear8

    Well as someone who has been a windows user all his and just started to use mac at work all I can say is..... hang on (sells pc, throws windows cd in garbage and buys mac) ok im back I wanted too say that osx is very nice and quite like it.

  • I got Snow Leopard quite late in the game, but I still got it. My 1.5 TB harddrive had 1.0TB free, and when I installed Snow Leopard, it went back up to 1.1TBs. I also got about 30 GBs on my main harddrive back, and I have noticed a few nice new features like the new Expose, and its improved performance. I'm waiting to see what Lion's gonna look like, though. :D

  • it's an paid service pack :P on windows service packs are free

  • why don't ms & apple join forces and make a powerful company

  • The only complaint here is that it does not support Power PC.

  • WHERE DID YOU GET THAT EXTREMELY AWSOME HOODIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?

  • PC are just copycats, macs were out before windows was.

  • @inMusics Microsoft was founded before Apple, but I heard that Microsoft has stole some ideas from Apple. I am not sure, so don't troll.

  • @inMusics FAIL. MS and Aplle works together @ the beginning to create an OS. The "war" betwen MS and Apple is starded by users and not by the industries.

  • "Quicktime X is Quicktime Pro Eh Steroids" LOL LMAO ROFL ROFLMAO HaHaHA

  • great info bro...well done

  • what did you use to edit this?

  • Awesome…did you make this video with iLife cuz it looks awesome!

  • I like your shirt

  • Well actually, because I'm a student I upgraded from vista to 7 for 30 bucks. It's normally higher, but it brings alot more to the plate than Snow Leopard does to Leopard, it's a huge improvement so the price easily justifies itself.

  • Upgrading Windows cost's more cause Microsoft is mainly a software company and Apple is mainly a hardware company plus Apple sell and makes there own computers for a high price this is why they can make the new OS cheaper but Microsoft like I said there mainly a software company so they sell there software at a higher price to make profit if the sold Windows for @29 bucks they would be loosing money not making money.

  • crapple.

  • looking at his expression i wonder how many times he does try not to burst out laughing explaining crappy knockoff features for mac os like its something new when in reality windows done long time

  • lol

    win7 is an osx ripoff

  • @643218 at least they're getting smarter :P

  • hey im getting snowl eopard soon imma buy it for my pc so im just looking for features and stuff like that 5/5 sub =)

  • I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard for 30 dollars. Go to bestbuy and get the disk. U can upgrade from tiger as well as leopard. It did not delete anything on my hard drive. I got like 5gigs back and it's like 70% faster than tiger. Upgrade, guys. It will change mac's forever!

  • i want to upgrade but will it delete my stuffF???

  • no it won't..

  • it won't

  • I'm on it now!

  • damn i wanted to see a mac system screw up :(

  • Does Snow leopard reformation the hole drive? or just an update?

  • hey man, great job informing us - good summary

  • Thank you for the review

  • @DoucheO

    Fucking Repub Asshole!!!

    Go ride Glenn Beck while using a shitty PC to download American Idol you WHORE!!!!!!

  • There's a few errors with Safari 4 still.

  • how many macs can you update to snow leopard with the family pack?

  • 5 macs

  • You will get 6 GB of space back but you would not be able to use it because you have a leopard hard drive LOL

  • 90 to 121 gigs!

  • why do people that use windows always freak out and try to say as many bad things about mac as they can...and most of it isn't even true.

  • @wafcake we could say the same thing about Mac users bashing windows. As a Win 7 user, I don't see many of the problems that Mac users complain about.

  • @wafcake that goes both ways.. alot of mac users say windows sucks.. when it really [dont hate me for this] is the best operating system [currently] simply because it does everything... i love both os's .. but use windows as my primary cuz it does everything i want it to... osx is just more fun =)

  • @wafcake do you mean backward... I say that Mac is better

  • @wafcake Because they are dumb. And think a Mac is too expensive. But with everything a Mac offers you, it's totally worth your money. :)

  • @wafcake YAH i do have a mac dont have enough to buy screen flow and imovie or final cut blah blah blah

    or camtasia

    but ur right

    why i think they are jealous and they wan to brain wash people to be on their side

    but their are jealous that they dont have a mac

    and they FAKE that they have a mac and they it Sucks

    but guess waht its not right

    and some part they make up which dosent exist

  • @itouchIman287 We can also say the same thing about apple fans, just saying. Win 7 suits my needs and >1billion other people's while OSX and Linux distros don't, so we stick with it. If mac works for you, awesome, just don't try to push it on us

    On a different note, anyone want to explain the difference between DirectCompute 11 and khronos' OpenCL? They seem to do the same thing to me.

  • @wafcake Dude, don't act like people that use mac don't do the same.

  • @flyliketails The same thing could be said about you acting like the people who use PCs.

  • Great review, very well done.

  • LoL.. MacTop ?

  • Snow Leopard is better then what Apple says. I got back 30GB back on my harddrive

  • it depends on what features you have installed make it seem larger

  • @thethreeAFZss Did you go from Windows to Snow Leopard?

  • wtf?

    it's great!

    nice work^^

    I#m German xD

  • hahahahahhahaha when you said mactop, i laughed my ass of

  • Yeah snow leopard is a great system. I got 10GB of hard drive space back, not 6GB!!

  • I don't understand why 6 or even 10 gigs is that big of a deal. Maybe its just me since i got like 2 terabytes of space its just not as important to me. But even when i had only 200 gigs 6 gigs didn't really matter since most games now a days or movies I download or like loads of cds take up way more then that.

  • I went from 45gigs to 56!

  • Great review.

  • anybody have a battery problem with the snow leopard? My battery goes below 20% in less than 5 minutes...any recommendation?

  • This was a great video! Thankyou :)

  • wow man, very good video, really like how you presented it, well spoken and good info. thanks.

  • I like the video. Well spoken and well laid out. Thank you.

  • do buy a new t shirt for every video

  • Thanks Mark! 5 stars.

  • can i mac os x snow leopard on vmware 7??

    and how to get that??

  • I got 17gb of HDD back. :)

  • Wow that is a lot of memory!!!! Especially for the use of media! Lol Great Vid!! I love Apple products but the only negative about their laptops and desktops is that most programs don't have support for the MAC operating system...

  • I got like 40 GB on my iMac and about 70 GB back on my MacBook-Good Job Apple!

  • I got 20 GB back. I was happy as hell!

  • what software is he using to make this video... i wanna do a side by side video and screen recording... the way hes done it is really cool... please do lemme know

  • yeahyeah, whatever.

  • Hi, why when I installed snow leopard family pack I loss internet connection? I had to remove it and reinstall leopard

  • omg, tis isn't windows. snow leopard was first.

  • Yeah you just have to buy a crap system to get it.

  • Quicktime X is absolutely NOT Quicktime Pro "on steroids" Its an incredibly dummed down version with hardly any of the functions QT 7 had.

  • What an asinine statement that is. Quick time X is AMAZING and you a re a trite troll who doesn't understand the concept of simplicity!

  • OK Smart guy, tell me where all the the export features are - You know, the ones we've had in QT Pro for generations?

    Where is the Volume control in the finder preview?? - or in any embedded QT movie or sound on the web??

    A Volume control!!!

    I understand simplicity. I don't understand why basic functions that have been in the app. for generations are quite clearly missing!!!

  • Idiot. It's in the keyboard. You press a certain key to mute it, or to make it higher or lower. Many people says mac sucks, it's just because they don't know how to use it.

  • @Hufflewaffle Volume button has been in keyboard since iMac G1...Are you that pathetic?

  • Firstly.. don't throw around personal insults. No one is threatening you personally.

    Secondly, the volume keys control the system volume - they have nothing to do with QuickTime. Thirdly, for people using professional audio interfaces they wont work and anyway its entirely beside the point. Unless its hidden in some odd combination of key commands, there is NO volume control for QT FINDER PREVIEWS - only a mute on and off.

    QTX has is nowhere near the comprehensive functionality QT7 Pro had!

  • well looking down at my keyboard it's the F10-12 keys... oh and they're labeled with a picture of a speaker. To complicated for you?

  • @ichbinstark

    See above and keep the sarcasm to yourself.

  • Great info Thanks! And Love the shirt....."Obama SX"...

  • Snow Leopard is a disaster. Wait at least another 2 months before jumping. Mac OS has inherited MS instability and it is not fun.

  • lolno snow leopard works perfectly.

  • so does Vista.... right

  • some people don't mind vista. ive had no problems with snow leopard.

  • so does windows 7 believe on this one

  • do a clean install and theres nothing wrong with it.

  • Now you are sounding like a Microsoft or Dell support rep.  "Just do a re-install and call me" WOW!

  • i hate them both. LOL. jp

  • in my opinion snow leopard is not a new os. its just an update....a small one. i love it though. it makes my mac so damn fast

  • where did you get the mac os x tshirt?

  • This dude is good in front of the camera, should be on TV

  • Google: Snow Leopard deletes all user data

  • Can any OS have a worse bug than that...

  • windows suck

  • idiot. it's Windows SUCKS. just because the fucking name is plural you don't say "suck"

    maybe you just hate windows lol, idk why though they usually keep the rain out when its raining.

  • yeah ik, doors are way better

  • If Apple lets Mac have a game compatible computer, MAYBE I'll get it.

  • The new iMac?

    3.33ghz, 16bg ram, 2tb HDD, ATI Radeon HD 4670.

  • have fun with all the viruses you will still have with windows 7

  • windows doesn't have viruses. viruses are online. if you download a lot of crap, you'll get it. people who are smart don't get viruses.

    anyway, windows is extremely flexible, it has much more compatibility with 3rd party software and hardware, unlike mac OSs.

    myself, i think i'll still be using both. macs are better for work/college and windows pcs are better for fun/home use, etc...

  • usually you can get similar software which works fine on both types, so technically they aren't many advantages or disadvantages with regards to what you can do on either. prefering one os over the other is one thing, or finding one better value, but consider the music industry. that lives on macs with the software logic, yet cubase for pc is similarly powerful if you are good with it. a good example of there being no need to make a distinction most of the time.

  • Grand central and opencl both require developers to write those factors into their programs for those to be taken advantage of. We'll have to wait and see about when and if programmers will adopt this technology

  • ...Continued..HP gave it to me for $15 dollars beat that!

    So if you are going to give your "Professional" thoughts on comparing the two you might want to do your research or not give false information.

    Vista.....Windows 7 =$15

    Mac X Leopard .....Snow Leopard =$30

    Oh and Vista has way more stuff, Leopard is coming with very little new. Yes its giving you 6gb back but its not giving you much anyway.

    Windows 7 has loads better and it not going to take anything. In fact I've gained some back.

  • To Soldierknows best.

    You are very anti Windows. You mention toward the end of your video that to upgrade from XP to Vista it is over £100 dollars but to upgrade from Mac X Leopard to Snow Leopard is only $30 dollars. Well that is the wrong way to look at it. It should be from Vista to Windows 7 not XP to Vista. And its only $30 dollars if you already have Mac X to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 it is $15 dollars. Some places do charge $30 dollars but not many..Continued...

  • how do I unistall snow leopard, ever since I installed it my iMac is been freezing, and my internet will not work. Can someone please help me?

  • You forgot to tell about the feature of Kernel panics and your GPU Failing and ram being burnt out. [Winnar]

  • I don't know what happened but now my macbook 13 inch but now its suupppper hot.

  • May I know what video software you are using?

  • If you don't load all the printer drivers, because it goes and gets just the ones you need for only the printers you use, and don't load all the crazy languages, you can gain way more than 6 GB. I gained more than 10 GB.

  • excellent video explained everything i needed to know in plain english.

  • Yeah, great shirt since he's done so many great things in office?.....Oh yeah, he hasn't!

  • He hasn't even been office a year. Health care reform is coming.

  • Ok, let me ask you this Panda, why are we reforming healthcare for 15% of america when the other 85% are happy?! Of that 15% you have mostly illegal immigrants and young people that CHOOSE not to have healthcare that makes so much sense considering it's cost at Trillions. Come talk to me when all that would make sense...so that will be never. O yeah, and Obama also has quadrupled the nations deficit. He's lied about all the so called promises he's made so really man just get some facts please.

  • I'll buy it, I love your t-shirt "Obama SX" and

    I looove Mac Os Leopard Snow !!!

    Thank you for your explanation.

  • I just upgraded, Late (2008) Macbook, Got a good 400 Point increase on geekbench.

  • awesome!!!

  • i like your shirt dude, hella creative. your videos are very neat and well put together, hella professional. i think i may be able to get snow leopard for free though, thanks for the info!

  • you have to be careful how you comment when you have an evangelistic username like that.

  • @maplingstorie, you should do a back up of everythin important to you _anyway_ ..trust !

  • Nope. You shouldn't lose anything that you already had on your computer. I didn't.

  • Where did you get your shirt? That is so cool!

  • No, but its always a good idea to backup your info.

  • I love your t-shirt!

  • I Wanna Win!!!

  • so is snow leapod 64 bit?

  • By 64-bit what do you mean? The Kernel or one of the apps? An OS is made up of several parts. Because the AMD64 arch. can run both 32-bit code and 64-bit code at the same time you can have a mixed environment. For the most part, OSX has been 64-bit at the kernel level for some time. The libraries and what not are a different story. I'd wage a dollar and say that it is 64-bit enough for you.

  • the kernel i believe. im not sure tho. i heard the new windows 7 would have a 64 bit OS so the memory capibility would be up to 100+ gigs compared to the 32 bit vista which the highest memory is about 4 or so gigs. so would OSX/ SL be as capable as W7-64 bit, in terms of memory is what im asking.

  • Ah! I see. Yeah most OS memory limits is software based / slightly hardware based. Old Intel Xeon boards had a nifty memory controller that Windows 2000+ could trick into allowing 32GB of RAM in 32-bit. 64-bit, in theory, allows up to 16EB (16 000 000 000 GB). Mac OS X however puts the cap at 16 TB (16 000 GB), Windows puts the cap at 2 TB in 64-bit mode. Linux sets the limit at 64 TB There are a couple of other things that prevent the full use of 64-bit space, just wikipedia x86-64.

  • wow i did not know that. thank you very much :)

  • the only reason that yu get hard drive space back is that the measure a byte as 1000 instead of the 1024 it is actually almost the same size but they use a fake mesurment

  • Safari 4 blows in anything but Snow Leopard. It beachballs ALL THE TIME.

  • You sold me. I don't care about Expose, Spaces, gadgetry and cosmetics. But if they made it faster and more practical, count me sold. Now I'm wondering if I need the Family Pack because my wife has a Mac, or if Single User can get us both installed.

  • mac is not the most advancesd OS, GNU/LInux is.

  • Give me one good reason for that.

  • mac is onliy beautiful an have a lot of apps, but has a lot of vulnerabilities as well as windows. yo can not configure mac because it is privative, and Gnu, can run without graphics, is for it that 99% web pages run GNU, and 1% window$, Mac is privative software and you know that apple is 'looking' what you are doing as webb as windows.

  • But yet when your using a mac you never see a bash command. dburgos so who is the most UF?

  • i hate how apple says that Snow Leopard is the most advanced OS ever

    Linux is, theres just no speaker for linux

  • upon everything being faster and better with this update, i wanted to also add the one and only con to this upgrade

    my macbook fan is louder and more audible cus the processor is working harder. probabaly reduced the life of my macbook by a few months but im all good.

  • i thought that openCL is supposed let the GPU's take some of the stress off the CPU???

  • and it is.

  • Sick video!

  • Does time machine drive have to be erased or reset when installing Snow?

  • i dont think so...

  • Yay Snow Leopard!! catching up with 64 bit years and years after windows good job. Even XP is 64 bit for god sake. just something for the fanboys.

  • Not a mac fan, but it's a cool video. Well done.

  • UPGRADE for ten bucks if you have purchased a mac after june 8 2009. U have ninety days after purchase date to redeem. Offer expires in december 2009.

  • Its a service pack for $29 !!

  • no, but Apple does those as well. It occasionally tells you to update software, which is a closer equivalent to MS Windows service packs.

    As I understand it, the software has been rewritten to take better advantage of resources.

  • You know, you cant compare upgrading XP to Vista with 10.5 to 10.6 its more like a Service Pack upgrade for Windows which you dont get charged for.

    On the Whole SL looks like L just has a bit more functionality and polish.

    I did manage to secure Windows 7 Home Premium Full Retail for £44 and Pro for £88 thanks to the EU and its anti-trust laws

    Compare Mac hardware prices to PC then you see the difference =D

  • If you compare the quality you can also see why

  • where did you get that t-shirt? i want to get one too

  • I want a Mac sooo badly because of the great features that my PC [I'm using] doesn't... -_-'

    I wish Best Buy slashes prices during the holidays and WalMart will sell a whole line of Apple computers.

  • And believe it or not, I seen that WalMart has NEVER sold just one Apple computer!! -_- That's why I love Best Buy more than WalMart. :)
