  • apple pwns

  • I genuinely love both Windows and Mac, but that did make me laugh, Vista was pretty bad from my experience, but they pulled it together good again with 7 :)

  • Mac always seem to be standing around doing nothing......

  • Apple: Immature little kids

    Microsoft: Mature Adults

  • Idiot kids use apple product

  • I don't like windows vista but I would much prefer to use a pc with vista than a mac because windows vista may suck but its much better than mac.

  • After watching some many films with the same topic, these commercial films try to tell us PCs are bad, lousy, stupid, and so on. If so, PCs should be extincted. On the contrary, PCs occupies 60% of the market share or above. Can somebody tell me the reason why?

  • @sonpp945 Yes, Microsoft monopolised the market since '85. The only thing you need to look at is that PC sales are going down, whilst Mac sales are going up.

    Hopefully, if Apple continue with their innovative product line, the tables will be completely turned in 10 years.

  • Comment removed

  • I h8 apple. They hide all their flaws by making it 3 times the price it should be and curving out the edges. They even said that mac is "virus-proof". lol. none of their stuff works. I can not name any reason that I would take mac instead of PC.

  • @AVvalia Did you take in consideration having hardware of similar performance, having a design quit near and similar software included in the package? Because, from what I saw on the market today, PCs&Mac follow the law of one price. Add the anti-virus software you need on PC, and it's about the same price... Just look for instance at the MacBook, the competition that is close will be what? Dell XPS M1330? That just 10 dollars of difference for two $1300 machine that are similar...

  • @therrydicule you can get a same-spec PC for about half the price of a MacBook

  • @geoffwoade Oh, really? Find me a tower for $1200 with a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem (or equivalent), 3GB ram, 1TB hard drive, 18x double-layer SuperDrive, ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5 (or equivalent), and an OS easy to run. You said about half the price, that's about half the price, I tolerate $150 over.

  • @therrydicule shit, my 400 pound laptop has 4gb of RAM.

    You can get it even cheaper if you custom build

  • @geoffwoade Than you do not account your time, and might use some "pirated software" and find some part for cheap... If you are serious, you must account the time spend and every discount ;) And I'm pretty sure came back to an approximation of the law of one price: In an efficient market, all identical goods must have only one price. Consider that Mac are high-end machine, look at the same performance and count everything - the cost is so near that personal preferences take the upper hand.

  • @geoffwoade And, really, are you able to built a baseline mac-pro, with that exact spec or replacement that are really close in value, for $1000 to 1500, including shipping, a good mouse, a good keyboard but no screen? I wonder how you will do that, knowing that the processor is like $280 and the graphic card like 120... How do you get a brand new mothercard, sound card, an OS, 1tb internal hard drive, USB stuff, and your work under $800? It might be just a computer, but cash is cash.

  • @janscon08 better? Not really. Application support in Linux isn't great and the UI isn't consistent. Also, don't get me started on dependency hell either.

    Linux is great on the backend, no doubt about that, but for everyday front end use? Gimme a Mac.

  • Vista was awful. I went back to XP. If windows 7 had not come out, I would have given up in microsoft

  • give up vista, use 7 or xp lolz

  • well he's right. GIVE UP ON VISTA, GET WINDOWS 7 ;)

  • I love PC guy. He's the awesome one. XD

  • As a matter of fact, Vista was the reason I switched to Mac. Never regretted that move. :)

  • @FabianWilliam Seriously? YOu didn't like Vista so much taht you decided to spend 2-3 THOUSAND dolalrs on a shitty macbook? You didn't get linux... To keep the computer you paid for, but ahve a new OS with it, YOu said fuck it and spent another thousand dollars. You don't think that much do you.

  • @imnotaturtle I do like thinking, in case you were wondering. At the time, I knew that I wanted to get a new laptop and looked into the various choices. Windows offered Vista, Apple offered Leopard then and Linux I had actually tried and hadn't liked too much. As I said, I have never regretted that move.

  • Mac: Hey PC, what are you doing?

    PC: Playing a game.

    Mac: What game?

    PC: All of them.

    <3

  • I gave up on vista a long time ago thank god for windows 7

  • @TolentinoA1 i never gave up on windows vista. i actually found it a sound operating system, my bros still use it, i just bought an updraded computer that happens to be like way better then any mac on the market.

  • Macs = computers for rich people;

    PCs = computers for poor/average people;

    Mac vs. PC issue solved. 

  • @musicnrd How is that in any way true?

  • @musicnrd It's the other way around, dude.

  • "PCs - For people who cannot afford Macs."

  • LOL! Thumbs up for "Vista is SHIT!"

  • mac rules! pc... well... doesn't rule?

  • I guess this means macs aren't very personal

  • LOL this is funny. However, Windows can't do anything. PC is "Personal Computer" meaning that macs are technically 'PC'. Technically. It's really windows vs. macs.

  • Lol

  • you can run windows on a mac, which actually makes mac more compatible.

    Bill Gates uses a mac.

    mac>pc

  • @dumbpeoplefighting You can run Mac OS on a PC...

  • @dumbpeoplefighting bill gates doesnt allow apple products to enter his house dumbass...i wonder where you pear fanboys make all of this shit up...just coz everyone has a PC that dosnt mean you should envy and be sorry for buying a mac . : 3

  • @vikmit1 are you mad because pc's suck? yeah i think so

  • @dumbpeoplefighting name me one thing that macs are better on than pc's. macs i life, on windows 7 you have movie maker live wich is better than iMovie ...you have all the ''maker'' programs and you can DOWNLOAD them for FREE fro microsoft s website, you dont have to pay 200 bucks for a stupid cd. pcs look better, because they can be custom ubgraded and colored. pcs are faster,and ubgradable. and you can also play games on them. yeah, so what did you say about pcs? ..

  • @vikmit1 you are obviously retarded if you think movie maker is better than imovie. you must be retarded. everyone knows that imovie is much better. And you don't have to pay 200 bucks dumb ass, it comes free with every mac. macs are so much faster too. and yes i can actually play more games on my mac then you can on your pc, considering i can run windows. so sit down, i win, i wont be reading any more of your bullshit comments. enjoy your shitty computer

  • @dumbpeoplefighting hahaahahh you can play more games on your mac than on a pc? dude if you say that somewhere live youre gona get raped up your ass instantly hahah...and yes, movie maker LIVE is 2x times better than imovie, not to mention that now there is a TRANSFERED version of iMovie for PC. it has been hacked exactly 2 days ago, not to mention that you can run every apple OS on windows perfectly. and you may run windows but you cant use all of its features, one of them is playing games :)

  • @vikmit1 asi said, i am not reading your comments, thanks for your time, pc sucks still.

  • @dumbpeoplefighting still, you read my comments, and youre still writting. if you didnt read them or didnt cared, you werent going to answer me. so if youre answering me,that means you still care and that means youre reading my comments, so that means you cant outtalk me and youre jealous. all you apple fanboys are like that chesus christ..

  • @vikmit1 you can stop now, pc's still suck btw

  • @dumbpeoplefighting yep i can stop. getting bored here, gona play crysis 2 or assassins creed 2 on my shitty pc.

  • @vikmit1 ok and ill go play them on my mac, which will run them better.

  • @dumbpeoplefighting yep, do that my friend. i hope warcraft 3 is fun.

  • @vikmit1 have fun with warcraft 3, lets see if your hp can handle it

  • @dumbpeoplefighting actually...yeah i have an HP. intel core i7 Xtreme edittion, 12 gigabytes of DDR3 ram, and an AMD Radeon HD 6970 2 GB video card , 38'' sony cinema display..all running on windows 7 ULTIMATE. not to forget the custom look of the computer. meh, it was worth it for 1400 dollars...not like youre paying 10,000 dollars for a mac thats nearly twice as weak. now im gona go play some warcraft 3. hopefully my pc can handle it. ;)

  • @vikmit1 actually my mac was 1200, which is less than yours, and its 10x better....yeah, you're cool

  • @dumbpeoplefighting yeah...i can imagine how its 10x better...just looking at the apple site makes me wonder ...2.66 ghz 1gb video card and 6 gigs of ram...for 5,000 dollars...and thats the mac alone??? what about the software , mouse,keyboard and the monitor? another 5000 dollars?? .. and still,thats nearly half as good as my HP custom built pc. wich..is actually ubgradable,and i can ubgrade it anytime, the way i want.

  • @vikmit1 my mac is 10x better than your pc. get over it.

  • @dumbpeoplefighting Your mac is a fisher-price PC. PC is a fisher-price Linux.

  • @pkemrin its funny because pc's suck

  • @dumbpeoplefighting Macs looks good. PCs can do more and be 10x faster than a Mac. I played GTA4 on my macbook pro on the lowest setting just to get a smooth framerate -.-

    I'm not sure if I should buy a new MacBook Pro, an iPad or a alien ware PC...

  • @oblivimix95 actually my mac can do things 10x faster than a pc can

  • @dumbpeoplefighting yeah and pigs can fly:P

  • @bambinosto cool story bro

  • @oblivimix95 hmm... i got the mac that has the intel core2duo chip with the nvidia... i think its the older model and im not sure if im gonna buy the 15inch macbook pro or the alien ware pc. I'm just gonna use it to play games ^^

  • @oblivimix95 then definatly alienware

  • @purecanaidian i didn't get the alien ware nor the mac. instead, i built my pc from the ground up. its awesome and i spent about $250 on it. i can play most games in 1080p except for crysis which only runs on 720p on high. still, awesome purchase!

  • @oblivimix95 Alienware is just like mac, its a brand name PC you will end up paying atleast twice the amount the computer is actually worth your better off building your own and getting a good HAF chassis and components.

  • ;DDD He mentioned me! Im switching from Vista to Mac! xP -specialness-

  • Vista sucks. It is so user-unfriendly and difficult to use.

  • I like vista better than Windows 7, but I prefer to use Macs because of their software and performance. So Mac is pretty much a fair game with Windows..

  • jeez mac grow a dick and stop makin immature ads

  • wow this just proves that apple mac is such a child

  • @thecooljazz wow you reallt cant take a joke

  • @yankolvich I was proving a point, not a joke...

  • MAC SUCKS

  • I have Vista on my computer, never had a problem with it.

  • i have vista and windows 7 both are GREAT only my HP (PC) Fan breaks too much but my laptop (windows 7) works PERFECTLY never crashed so far

  • Can people stop hating on PC what ad did Microsoft make to piss you off?

    Jerks.

  • @itubenowplease linux. i await your arrival.

  • and they did, thats why 7 was made

  • That was actually funny, not just a blatant lie like most of the ads! Good work apple.

  • both os's have their ups and downs.

    pc's are for gaming and macs are for whatever it is you do that i don't want to do

  • I want a mac, but there so damn expensive.

  • I have Vista and I play ALOT of game but still I would NEVER switch to a Mac or downgrade to XP. Vista all the way!

  • @Helgihermadur I didn't say Macs couldn't run games; I'm just saying that they don't play them as well as Windows machines. I play many games on my Macs, so I sure as hell know that they CAN play them. Oh by the way, I spend more time playing games than making movies, on my Macs.

  • Sure my kids have a PC loaded with games, but Macs are better for work: 1) no virus worries (no matter what you say), 2) doesn't slow down over time because there is no registry to get clogged up to begin with, 3) tech support is horrible (where's a Windows store, except in "India"?), 4) external drives can and do run alternate System folders with incredible ease, so if there's a system problem, guess what - poof! - the computer boots off another drive. Did I mention 'incredible ease'? Microhard

  • @646t00er Sorry to put rains on your shiny day but Macs have viruses. Even Linux. Never heard of HellRaiser Trojan Horse? OSX/Leap? OSX/iWorkS-A? OSX/Hovdy-A Trojan horse? BadBunny Worm? Inqtana worm? Proof-Of-Concept Virus? Renepo script worm? i mean there are now thousands of virus for Macs. The reason why is as people's interest to run Macs gets higher, the interest of destroying a mac goes higher in double-speed!

  • @646t00er OMG! no viruses really guess what if you arn't a fuckin dipshit on a PC NO VIRUSES! 10 years of use not a single virus! holy crap howd that happen CAUSE IM NOT FUCKIN RETARDED! sure i dont give 2 shits about grammar but i sure as shit make more money than you kinda sad isn't it :) keep on working with your overpriced uncompatable piece of shit kthx bye nub.

  • Mac fanboys are retarded!

    PC = computer system (hardware + operating system), and Mac is one itself.

    Realize it people. You might install Linux/Windows/Hackintosh/BSD/o­ther Unix/etc whatever and IT WILL ALWAYS BE PC anyway.

    I would never buy a Mac nor a manufactured PC (with winBLOWS) because I would never let anyone build a computer for me. I always do it myself.

  • WINDOWS 7 is better than a mac!

  • @Hotshot922 Agree, Big Time!

  • I like how more upset PC users are here than Mac users.

  • @SilentNegotiator of course, its because its an anti- PC ad

  • thats what i did. gave up on vista and im using windows 7

  • Hmmm, someone said in another video that Apple has to pay Microsoft to actually use the names like Vista, so basicly Apple is paying for the adds, AND paying Microsoft for the permission to use their names....doesn't that seem a tad wrong to anyone?

  • "Give up"

    is that really mac his way of advertising his stuff? So sad

  • I got Windows seven because I just didn't have the time to switch over to mac. It is pretty good!

  • LOL, Vista was good, but Windows 7 is better.

  • Nice :p

  • i hate these adverts (im a linux) but the integration between two elements is cool

  • Anothere sh**ty mac ad that does not give any good reason for switching. F**k macs. And don't give up on making ads for people who ALREADY have macs.

  • @PinchesMacs Fuck you for commenting on a video of something you hate.

  • Hahahaha fuck you too. Feel better? I will comment on anything I want to, That's freedom But what can you tell a guy who loves Hitler? Fuck Hitler, by the way.

  • See you dont see PC posting random shit like this on there Websites taking cheap blows at mac......Says alot if you ask me

  • I didn't give up on Vista... I still have it!

  • GOOD ON YA BRO! Same! I tried 7, but vista is for me :)

  • just like wat was already said, if macs were cheaper i would have one, the only reasonably priced mac is the iPhone

  • are like.. all of you tards fighting over a computer? xD

  • @Sanandreas33333

    Jup, fighting on the Internet is just plain retarded, even if you win the debate.

    @Fighting retards

    In other news, the holy war of Mac vs. PC is entirely up to the marketing divisions of MSFT & AAPL, no one gives a shit about your poorly constructed and biased opinion.

  • I like to rant, leave me alone. :<

  • I have both a new imac and a new pc and I must say, tho the pc has this touchscreen thing and all Im totally sticking to my mac ... it just works for me... its just different...

  • "Upgrading" to a Mac usually includes dishing out nearly twice as much for an overly stylized computer and operating system, and only getting half of what you could have had with a Windows PC. And now any games you had will no longer work, unless you also shell out another few hundred for a second HDD with a Windows OS on it. Then when you want to upgrade your Mac, you have to send it back and shell out a shitload more cash so they can do it, unless you want to risk voiding your warranty.

  • @SirArx You apparently have no clue what you're talking about :)

  • Sadly I do. The fact that I've purchased computers from both sides of the lines somewhat warrants that, don't you think? Sure they both are relatively outdated since I got them a year ago, but the point stands. I got a Mac for what most people got it for: Browsing, image editing, etc. I got a PC for games, school work, and actual work. Shelled out about $1000 for the PC, and $2000 for the Mac. While the Mac does what I got it for, when I try to do anything beyond that, it freaks out and crashes.

  • @SirArx The Mac isn't designed for gaming. You get what you pay for. The Mac doesn't do some things that Pcs can do, but the things it does do, they do so much better than any PC.

    Did that make sense? I'm sorry, but I just couldn't condense my explanation good enough.

  • @Eggyrocks1 Nope you don't get your money's worth on a mac.

  • @DarkCloudPhenom88 Thanks for your extremely well-structured comments; I particularly like the parts whereby you justify your reasoning, and also how you present your opinion as a solid fact.

  • @Eggyrocks1 not really lol. macs dont have as many programs made for them, macs dont come with some free software to do video editing like windows has always done, and when it does have a program its usualy more expensive. example apples movie software is almost 70 bucks. windows comes built in with any edition you want. dragon speach software for pc's is 50 bucks, while its 200 for macs. but again its what you like.

  • @TheCompyshop iMovie is not sold on its own. iLife, which includes iMovie, is built-in to every new Mac.

  • @Eggyrocks1 lol sorry im not a expert on macs XD

  • @TheCompyshop iMovie is included on ALL Macs. That other video is incorrect when it says that iMovie is sold separately; you are incorrect when you say the same thing.

  • @duckwithnukes again idk which it was ilife or something. i just dont remember lol

  • @TheCompyshop I know what video you're talking about, and it is wrong. That's all there is to it.

  • @Eggyrocks1 Why? It's down to applications, not the OS. If Macs come with a nicer bundle of apps than most PCs, so what? There are probably great apps for video and pictures for PC, you just have to search for them.

  • @Eggyrocks1 Modern Macs are PCs with OS X instead of Windows, fully capable

  • @sundhaug92 I was using the term "PC" to describe a Windows computer, sold with the Windows operating; that is pretty much what everyone refers to when the "Mac vs. X" comes up.

  • @Eggyrocks1 "You get what you pay for" LOL Macs are 3x the price of an equivalent PC and the PC can game. -__-

  • @HDMovieScenes Yep, you do get what you pay for. What you're concentrating on is specifications and specifications only. What you're excluding is the fact that Apple is number one for customer support in their industry; number one for after-sales support in their industry; number one for the customer satisfaction rate; and the fact that Macs don't come complete with bloatware, which I'd happily pay to NOT receive on a new computer.

  • @Eggyrocks1 Because the specification cost the MOST FUCKING MONEY. Customer support doesnt mean shit to me because I use Asus, the most reliable laptops in the world. If it doesnt fucking break, I dont care if a dog answers customer support or a human tech support answers. It doesnt justify paying 3x the money for shittier hardware. 95% of the price is hardware. 3x the price for 5% of the cost? bullshit. go use your Mac because you dont know how to use a PC. Real men use PCs.

  • @HDMovieScenes Umm pcs rule and macs rule. End of story. -_-

  • @HDMovieScenes Jesus Christ if you are THAT concerned about it then go write to Apple. I'm obviously going to fail to convince you that value for money is what you get. Also, the "Asus is the most reliable laptops in the world" is invalid, as pointed out in official statistics.

    Lay off the immature tone and grow up. Also, you realise a Mac is a PC, right? "PC" stands for "Personal Computer". I have used Windows-based computers, and continue to do so.

    Your last statement is childish.

  • @Eggyrocks1 Me telling you how good PC is isnt going to make you go back and you telling me how good Mac is isnt going to make me switch, so this is pointless. Just drop it and dont reply to this.

  • @Eggyrocks1 If "you get what you pay for" then explain why my pc cost $700 and has better specs than a Mac pro (the $2,500 version)?

  • @Protomasterexe exactly, by "you get what you pay for" he meant you get fucked.

  • there are 3 main things keeping e from buying a mac

    1. money

    WAY to expensive you only have to look at there ipods to see how much it reflects on there computer prices

    i saw a MP3 player which had a full touch screen and did everything an ipod could do (ruling out itouch) and it was $198 while i saw an ipod shuffle right next to it for $200

    they also had the same amount of storage

    2.GAMES

    3. i grew up with pc's and you can modify them

  • Yer out of your mind. An iPhone now is 200 dollars too. Fuctard.

  • wow someones ignorant,

    in america it may be

    yet us australians get ripped off

    try $720 in australia

    yer

    and nice working trying to insult someone expressing there opinion

  • I have the same problem and so has the rest of the world.

    If apple had some cheaper macs and they were more popular in the very begin mac would take over te world.

    ALIENS

  • a shuffle for 200 your getting ripped off thier under 80bucks

  • @TechXMarine There is NO such thing as a $200.00 iPod Shuffle. The most expensive one was $150.00 (first generation), but they soon got cheaper.

    An iPod Touch can do much more than that $198.00 MP3 player you mentioned, and two dollars is such a small difference that it doesn't really matter financially.

    Also... the iPod Shuffle with the most capacity has 4 GB of storage... so that touchscreen MP3 player is a ripoff unless you only have a few songs/videos.

  • @duckwithnukes im sorry you ignorant fuck do you live in Australia

    i didn't think so

    the resellers in Australia are the biggest dick heads who want to squeeze us for our money

  • @TechXMarine According to Apple's website (they know about the pricing of their products), the 4GB iPod Shuffle is $109.00 with free shipping. Still a far cry from $200.00.

  • This is why I stay with XP.

    Windows 7 will be like Vista only all problems fixed.

  • Mac = Expensive douchebag products that work averagely and last for a long time but generally has shit graphics in comparison to some PC's.

    PC: Shitty systems that don't fucking work unless you invest shit tons of dollars into it and yet still have a lifespan of a infant with sids but very customizable.

    Both have horrible customer service and both are run by ballnippers. Wow such a big difference! This totally warrants a debate!

  • PCs work fine... you don't have to invest shit tonds of dollars. My system cost me US$900 and it works like a charm and runs everything I want...

  • Yea dude I recent build my father a rig for $900 that he now does professional grade video editing on at his home (He's a director of photography and used to be a film editor so he obviously knows what he's doing) and he says he's able to use it better than his G5 that broke down before I build him his current rig.

    I can't afford to feel bad for everyone who gets sucked in by mac though. Their problem, they probably don't even know what they're missing out on.

  • well, most ppl switched to mac cuz we do know what we r missin out on

  • Yea, it's a nice platform for web surfing, photoshop and media editing. But, so is a normal computer if you know what you're doing.

    I just think that using a mac over a windows or linux based machine has more important cons than pros.

  • No, if you know how to take care of a windows or linux based computer, and DON'T buy a dell or HP or something, then your computer can last for years. I've had the same one for 9 years, mind you it's a different computer from when I first built it, but I never have had a critical system error, no hardware has broken (I always upgraded simply because I wanted more every 3-4 years) and I've never gotta a virus that was noticeable at all.

    I can also overclock, macs can't.

  • i agree with u except in one thing u can build a awesome pc dirt cheap

  • switching from mac to pc = facepalm

    switching from pc to mac = facepalm

    upgrading ur current OS = :D (disregarding early vista)

    steve jobs have been getting too arrogant lately, and their mac vs pc commercials are complete Bullsh@t.

    Windows Vista sucked for almost a complete year.

  • yeah I agree with you

    although ive only had 2 problems with vista and both have been easaly fixed

  • Mac>Linux>Cell Phones>Tvs>Socks>pc

  • Mac<PC

    Apple<Microsoft

    OSX<7

  • PC > Mac

  • @Thefistof40k Mac > PC

  • @Thefistof40k lol hell naw 

  • that's the best conjoined ad ive seen yet... lol

  • that was pretty clever. Even if you're not a Mac user, you've gotta admit that's funny.

  • yep

  • lmao!!! apple is the bomb

  • win

  • epic win :)

  • Get Vista SP2, or upgrade to 7 when it comes out.

  • Yeah, but clock your hard drive led, it is always on with Vista, it is constantly writing to the Hard disk, and kills Laptop Batteries, but I find Windows 7 much improved

  • WTF! Is this guy arguing that Macs are better gaming machines!? Fail.

    Ff you don't mean putting them on a mac and you are also saying a PC cant handle it, then what are you actually arguing? That no computer available today is capable of handling a game? How would that be Vistas fault?

  • vista mint

  • @ least it works and there's half the stuff running in the background than XP and Vista YES I DID COMPARE THE 3 side by side

  • I think if you look back, all operating systems are indeed just a fancier version of the previous one, this counts for both macintosh and microsoft, even linux. Consoles, gpu's, cpu's, ram. All of these things are just the previous thing that is improved on. So this claim of yours is both useless and obvious, HURRRRRRRRR.

  • You win at life!

  • Meh, i'd rather have 500 internets.

  • Okay then... 500 internets!

  • Vista isn't even bad. Microsoft only mad a mistake in letting Apple trash Vista by implying there is lots wrong with it. You repeat something enough time ans people believe it.

  • agree :) it's a little bit slow on some pc's but it's still a good system
