  • One for the rich one for the poor.

  • the only reason people like pc because its cheap ^^, They're isn't much difference in cost if you get a GOOD WINDOWS PC, If you get those cheap, rubbish, delicate PC's, well then. I got a Mac and PC and I prefer Mac but thats maybe because I use a netbook PC

  • Mac is good because. Has a high download speed, runs fast, pretty good to work at and all other stuff. PC is to... PLAY!!!!! xD

  • After a minute of this video, you can tell this video is biased.

  • People create viruses and they don't create viruses for macs because it already sucks so bad that it is not worth creating a virus for

  • why can u get virus on a pc but not on a mac?

    because viruses come in software and there is no software for mac lol

  • @MiggeX Pretty funny :)

  • From the beginning statement, this sounds more like a race issue.

  • One is white, one is black lol

  • @TaylorMFM Lol

  • Soooo what's better because I'm getting a new laptop and I can't choose pc or mac

  • @derekboy85 If you get a Mac, you can install windows onto it anyway.

  • @illegochild hmmm ok

  • It's easier to upgrade the parts of a pc but macs are just easier to use

    But apple realizes that windows is a better operating system as they have boot camp

  • The difference is that MAC is created by a dictator who want to track where you are going.

  • @michaeltbear WRONG!!!

    Once again the markup is not because of the brand name it's because of the better all around construction. Keep living in your fantasy world hugging your pc tightly while the rest of us realize the truth about pc's and switch to mac's...

    Pc's suck. That's it

  • @michaeltbear WRONG!!!

    Yes, a pc will cost 30-50% less then a mac that is true and the reason for that is the construction of the pc it's made out of cheap plastic and they take shortcuts on everything that they do in order to save money and pass the savings onto the consumer where as a mac is constructed from aluminum using nothing but the best parts and they don't cut corners which is why most industry leaders dealing with high volume workloads will choose apple over pc...

  • @michaeltbear WRONG!!!

    The reason for all of the viruses are not because of the market share that Microsoft owns compared to macintosh it's the fact that they actually hire people to hack into those systems where as macintosh feels that there customers deserve better and keeps the viruses at bay by running a closed loop secure network...

  • @michaeltbear WRONG!!!

    It seems like you are the gullible buyer if you fail to realize that everything you just said is wrong!! Not only are mac's better then your precious pc's...They prove it day in and day out by running very high end professional programs that a pc only dreams of running. Mac can run any software whether it be designed for windows or mac. Pc's on the other hand lack the ability to do so...

  • @MrPooky9 no its true it is 99% =p

  • @animefreak873 lol it's not true, their is alot of software made for mac :P

  • This old man has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. But who really cares.

  • Macs DO NOT protect themselves. Macs just have less viruses because Windows is dominant at the moment. Why make viruses for a computer less people use? They wanna catch more bait, so they make one for Windows. In the end though, viruses are stupid.

  • A pc is a damn mac AND windows. They are all Personal Computers (PC)

  • PC does not mean just Windows

    You are all stupid. Period.

  • My win7 running Dell XPS15, 5 months, old, has NEVER crashed and i have an antivirus on it, i have no problems with it. This old man is kinda dumb....paid off?

  • My win7 running Dell XPS15, 5 months, old, has NEVER crashed and i have an antivirus on it, i have no problems with it.

  • @henrivesi Ive had a XP for 10 years and It broke maybe 3 times but it still ran well...untill its 10th year..it started dieing out...I got a windows 7 :D best OS ever!

  • hmm did apple pay you to promote their products?

  • 100 % Of windows users look out there windows every day and see a apple tree in the front yard.

  • Mac computers rule this guy on the video is arrogant, Macs are better but in general all computers do the same thing, Mac,s are just smother and easer to use. Microsoft or should I say ripoff-soft try's to make there OS look and feel like a Mac all the time since the days of the Lisa computer long live Steve Jobs he is the true innovator and if it was not for him and xerox park we would not have the personal computer as we know it today .

  • @theogdjnaughty100 % Of windows users look out there windows every day and see a apple tree in the front yard.

  • @michaeltbear

    - Your right, Mac is good for new users. Windows is bad for new users.

    - 99% of software USED to be written for Windows

    - A PC will always cost less than a Mac because you're getting less computer than a Mac

    - If a PC had 50% mark up on it, perhaps you'd have support for it in North America

    - Perhaps Macs suck, but they suck less than Windows

    - Last word: "Zune"

  • Given the age of this video, I'm willing to agree with some of what is said by the presenter, but his analysis is too simplistic. The reason Macs don't have as many viruses is because it's not the best platform to spread viruses on. As it's popularity grows, so will the number of viruses written for OS X. I would agree that Mac's kernel is tightly written, but anyone can write code for it. Its not tightly controlled and anyone with the drive to find a vulnerability in OS X will find it.

  • I've watched probably ten of the videos that this guy is in. And with each video, I get angrier and angrier at the things he says. It's people like him that make me hate Macs.

  • lets face it linux is the better os system to use.

  • mac is is just a fancy linux that has money behind it

  • when they start making games for MAC they wll have viruses

  • @kris10ish they have and my friends MacBook pro crashed

  • this guy was in world war 1 lol great video

  • i can use a windows on a mac, thats why i like mac, can a pc run a mac?

  • @MichaelJacksonwithJ5 Why the hell would you want to run hackintosh, the main reason you run windows on a mac is to use the wider range of hardware/software.

    But anyway, the main reason you can't run your mac on a windows PC is because mac doesnt want you to.

  • Dude, i can't wait to hack ur pc. then i wanna c ur face...

  • Most misinformed, biased video ever.

    - Mac has NO flexibility and is only good for gullible, new users.

    - 99% of software is designed for Windows

    - Viruses: Mac has 5% of the market to Windows 92% and let's face it, who wants to steal things from unemployed hipsters typing all day on Macs in Starbucks hoping people see them

    - A PC will always cost 30-50% less than Macs

    - If you had a 50% markup on product purely because of a brand name you WOULD offer better support

    Mac's suck. That's it.

  • @michaeltbear I said the same thing until i bought one and used it ,dont wanna go back to windows ,i own a windows desktop and laptop but i stay on my Macs 98% of the time.

  • @michaeltbear you obviously have never used a mac. i've used both and i can't stand windows. macs just do what you want, you kind of have to play with pc's. macs can run windows too so you can do everything macs can do plus everything windows can do when using a mac. so if you buy a mac and a copy of windows, you're basically getting two computers for the price of a little more than one. and the mac os is way more advanced than windows.

    PC's suck. That's it.

  • @michaeltbear L.......O.........L.

    Mac's are amazing, they run everything I need to run, and it's more reliable with downloading things online, and the support is fantastic. And you pay more, because you're paying more for the OS, the design, and the superiority. Also, the resell-ability of Macs are huge. A Windows machine from 2000, is worth little to no money today. However a Mac from 2000, is still worth hundreds of dollars. Macs> PCs. Its simple. It all depends on your needs. PCs suck though

  • @michaeltbear

    thats so narrow minded its funny. appreciate both sides of computing dumb fuck

  • Mac's blow

  • They can do the same tasks???

    ok lets try running crysis on a mac...oh wait YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!

  • 0:22 Kaspersky tells you about something , virus ?

  • can i download anything from mac?

  • @richyrik1 yes

  • @getz2323

    is there anything happen if i download things from mac?or is it safe?

    do you know where i can download free norton virus online?and i mean FREE?

  • @boneshred you nailed my point

  • @painsey Thats the only reason why you think they are bad? You do know that you don't have to use the mouse it comes with...

  • @unrealjeff its just im so used to a pc, the mouse cramps my hand

  • @boneshred lol trust me my brother goes to tech school and knws about hacking and trust ME is nothing easy

    by the way PC i could even hack on that OS lol

  • yup i have a mac video:

  • yehhh yehhhh yeh

  • @davidhamann0606 David. please correct yourself.... 12% of boring movies and 5 minute videos are made on Macs* :D the rest use Sony vegas pro, fraps etc...

  • @davidhamann0606

    You mean like Avatar, which wasn't made on a Mac?

    WOOPS!! Better do your research there, little kid!

  • @TheUberDeity Well, we can give credit to Linux for Avatar..... Far from Microsoft... I should have stated 98% of the movies you see are made on a MAC....

  • Maybe because you get what you pay for....

  • @davidhamann0606 If you think that one OS is better than other, explain why almost EVERY APP in teh new Mac App store is a paid program except for like 4.

    I don't want to get into a fight, but it's just true, Linux is the only one that for real has like 4 viruses.

    ALso you didn't have to leave 5 comments to respond. One is sufficient.

  • @boneshred Not true....

  • ok

  • @boneshred Macs get lots of viruses, just only trojans, spyware, adware, malwares, rootkits, keyloggers, which could count as a virus. just not a real Virus, which would copy itself into the registry...

    Otherwise there's plenty of Mac viruses.

  • @A135S4656 Name 1 real virus for osx..... There are none.

  • @davidhamann0606 MacSweeper - Rogue Cleaner,

    Ingtana.A - Java based worm,

    LoseLose - Fun addicting game that's also a trojan,

    and for an entire list go to iantivirus. com slash threats.

  • @A135S4656 Lose/Lose is a game designed to delete files when you kill an alien.... Thats no virus.... Also its no infection, you can easily uninstall it....

  • Respond to this video... Try again...... The OSX/Ingtana. A worm expires Friday, so it is unlikely to do much damage, says Ken Dunham, director of the rapid response team at iDefense, a VeriSign company. 

  • @A135S4656 Try again...... The OSX/Ingtana. A worm expires Friday, so it is unlikely to do much damage, says Ken Dunham, director of the rapid response team at iDefense, a VeriSign company. Thats still no virus, only a worm whole in bluetooth to show its vulnerability.

    Let me rephrase.... Show me or name 1 "real" virus in Mac osx... Just one, come on bro..... Im not asking for much. You need to give up a little respect. I bet I could name 100,000 for windows.

  • @A135S4656 That statement is false, there arent plenty.... There are zero.... You know Mac is solid when you can put your email address out in public and ask someone to email you a virus... Windows cant even dream of doing that.... To me that can explain how one os is better than another os.... who gives a crap that they make more games for windows?

  • @davidhamann0606 You can SSH into an Mac Period

    If you dont know what SSH is, Basically people use it to share files between their retard ipods through wifi.

    However a PC can SSH into a mac through public network from country to country. Please stop crying, you made the worse decision. You got an mac

  • So Mac is kind of a prison?

  • @Walter877 Yes... but the Apple O.S is Epic

  • You have to respect him for his incredible theories, I want to hear him speak about astronomy on eHow.

  • (Facepalm)

  • @boneshred

    i agree with u!! Beside most virus is .exe which only "PC" can run

  • Is this an explanation of the difference or a simple ad for mac?

  • @DickKnowsBest hey that was cooli will tell allmy friends PC PIEACE OF CRAP COOL MAN

  • @Bibazavr all mac users I know don't have any antivirus softwares running xD

  • @TetrisChemisttt You need like 1 minute to install it. And mac user pay for that at least +600 dollars - Doesnt sound cool :)

  • @Bibazavr exactly, I use malwarebytes and another free antivirus, pretty useful, even though I could buy malware bytes for a small fee(I think it may only be like $50 once or something for web scanning and other things), but a good amount more features

  • @TetrisChemisttt Erm, what? Never payed for software in 15 years of PC usage.

    I mean really. Why pay if you can download and crack it?

    Im using NOD32, taking activation codes from the internet. Just google it. Its free.

  • @DickKnowsBest nice response, capslock for cruise control and no proof to back up your statement? you're quite a success!

  • @DickKnowsBest Aero is the really nice-looking "glass" theme. You can see your background vaguely trough the taskbar, and stuff like that.

  • real differance is pc for advance users and mac its for people who just use the computer for simple stuff pc=hacking gaming mac=video editing and audio simple

  • Things have changed.

    There are now viruses and malware for the Macintosh. Also, some people say the mac looks better. Well, can you find Aero on a mac? NO! And do you have to pay for antivirus? NO! You can download them for free! (unless you want some premium crap which you really don't need at all). Also, the Mac is way overpriced, and has mediocre hardware. Also, there are less compatible programs for the Mac.

  • @PokePackOpener14 I agree with u at some points but the price tag isn't that bad , i have a one of those turbocharged Imacs and its super super fast. my uncle got some acer predator computer he spent more tan me and hes pc is much slower than my mac. also he had to install a lot of thing where i had everything ready to use. so IMACs really aren't that bad they keep on getting better and better and if i find a program that isn't compatible with OSX i can use windows installed on boot camp

  • Well, the difference?

    Windows is BETTER

    Mac OS X is WORSE

    Everyone who buys a Mac is an apple iDiot.

  • I can't understand why a lot of insults to Macs and a lot of people who defend pcs or the other way around.

    This guy is an expert and he is saying that the difference is in the OS, which is true and for who doesn't know that, check before say something not so clever.

    I use and like both pcs and Macs, both have strength and weakness.

  • macs suck custom billet pc's rule

  • @dbw16d lol have you ever tried it . pc's i suppose for gaming

  • Should be iHow....

  • Mac suck, it is so limited.

  • You're going to run into MowWare??? Who the hell made these subtitles.. MALware...

  • @TheUberDeity Fair enough, You're probably right. I'll take another look at my settings next time I log on. I'm not going to take the time to make a video of it but you're probably right. I've done next to no research on anything about it, but I just told you that I probably read the settings wrong in the last comment. Congrats. You win the internet.

  • 0:08

    He says hwite instead of white.

    Just like Stewie on Family Guy when he says cool whip. XD

  • @TheUberDeity My two year old MacBook runs SC2 on the best settings with no problem whatsoever. It's not even a Macbook pro... game runs just fine.

  • The only reason he sounds biased is because Macs are better. =P

  • @KaleDavid

    You're right, Macs are better.....

    ....at going obsolete.

  • @TheUberDeity I dealt with PCs my whole life up until I got a laptop for college, which is a Mac. We had countless problems with our PCs over the years. So far I'm 2 years in with this Mac and the biggest problem I've had was the charger breaking. I just love Macs because they are easy to use. I hop on my parent's desktop running Vista and I wanna pull my hair out because the thing is just a mystery to me. Nothin runs as smoothly as my Mac :) but to each his own.

  • make windows safe dont run as admin :)

  • @boneshred That is a idiotic statement, you are very uneducated, Windows i the hardest, the Open Solaris, then Mac os, Then debian based linux distro's, Then all other linux distros. I can write a virus for mac right now, so can any programmer, but it takes longer to write then a windows virus. As the Code needs to be well written, or it will be detected

  • @MrNukesftw write me a virus and i will download on my second computer that i dont care about. The only reason i even said anything is because this dude is so biased, and i personally have never written a virus, but on some websites ive been on thats the order it went in. Plus even you have to admit that not nearly as many viruses are made for mac because it does not take up the ammount of the market that windows does.

  • wat a racist bastard in the begining

  • this guy had to be paid my appple

  • @johnb1193 no he is just smart

  • @MightyFinder1 if you insist

  • if u dont want to get viruses on ur pc download AVG 9.0

    its free

    and btw if u dowload like a idiot from random sites and look at porn 24\7 ofc u will get viruses

    pc its much better

    mac doesn't have viruses because hackers dont use mac

  • and this is why i love pc...cmon look at the pc desktop...all icons,nice wallpaper so cool...and then on the other side look at the mac desktop...empty

    i mean what else should i say...it looks so sad when i see that mac so empty,it makes me sad to watch it like that

  • the mac hardware is the most expensive part, but once you pay for that, the operating system is, for the latest mac os, $29.00, compared to windows 7 home premium: $119.99. So basically your paying more for hardware than the OS. so mac could be considered cheaper, in my opinion, and worth it

  • He finished by saying buying a macintosh. BIAS

  • @productfeedback my view on this video is he is just saying the differences, just in case your buying a mac.

  • you face malware... you will need programs? programs? 1 program! you will not face them unless you want to. viruses are caused by the user not the computer. if the user downloads them they get the virus. if you know what you are doing and download things only if you know what you are getting you are fine.

  • well heres the sad truth. Apple spews propaganda like the BP spills oil. a study is done everytime a new operating system is released by Apple, Microsoft, and Linux. the funny thing is in order from easiest to hack to hardest... well it's in this order; Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Microsoft Windows 7, Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. If advanced means more fun stuff and flashy colors than i guess Apple win,s but if it means safer to use and harder to infiltrate Linux wins, and Microsoft is a happy medium.

  • Dells really suck Jonathan.

  • this video is extremely biased and doesn't address the real differences between the two.

    in my opinion:

    a windows pc is better for gaming, and office work. its also good for programing and fairly good for web designing.

    a mac is excellent for dealing with all forms of professional media work. also its a good computer for those not too technologically "savvy." u don't have to worry about malicious software as much.

    the main difference: YOU PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR A MAC AND THE SOFTWARE FOR IT!!!

  • @f0ksie I have a laptop and between paying for a new battery every 6 months and internet security it works nearly the same

  • @ilikeunitedvrymuch im pc user, i NEVER pay for internet security. i have avg for some basic file scanning, other than that i just learn how to surf the web safely. ive never had a virus on any computer that i have ever made. as for the battery issue that really isnt a mac or pc issue, thats hardware. any other non software related issues you would like to throw in to fluff ur argument?

  • @f0ksie Vista that is all

  • This guy..

    no clue on what hes talking about =/

  • it all depends on what you use it for peeps god dammit

  • STEVE JOBS OWNS A PC! TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • im hopeing to become a mac soon !!! im an ugly pc :(

  • Nice review...

    for Mac Fans...

  • I've used pc for a good 12 years now. I've had to buy 5 computers and 3 laptops. Most of them was because of viruses and 2 was because i dropped them and the crappy warranties didn't cover them. I'm switching to mac next week when i get the macbook pro 13 inch. VERY EXCITED!

  • @BatchFileHelper they help you but once it comes to replacing your computer after you drop it then they don't want anything to do with you.

  • @BatchFileHelper yeah but think about it. The macbook is going to last you twice as long (maybe more) than the gateway laptop. So then you buy another 600 dollar gateway (thats 1200) dollars while you're still using the same macbook. The macbook might cost more initially but what about when your virus protection runs out on your gateway? What about when it overheats and pc's crappy warranty doesn't cover it and you have to buy another one. (thats 1800 dollars)

  • @Khyrid I don't think you can say 'real computer users write code' nowadays. Computers have become far more than that; they pervade every part of each of our lives. With them, we receive information, discover new worlds, communicate with the human population in entirely new ways, and accelerate the way we work as well as play. The days are over when computers can be seen as a niche hobby for the few.

  • @darkfunkychimp Yeah okay. Excuse me I'm busy with real computer usage right now.

  • Mac is better , but more expansive , this is why most people choose windows , not mac

  • It's hard to be ballanced when Mac is so much better

  • @angryher0 Yeah i know what you mean. You just can't compare the two. The only thing that pc is better at is playing games but thats why i have a xbox 360.

  • @CelticsFanBoy92 thats from microsoft!

  • @jmass67 who cares. We're not talking about gaming systems. Microsoft makes good gaming systems. And their computers are good too. Its just mac is better.

  • He was paid by apple to say this

  • mac sucks

  • @BatchFileHelper its 3 years, and if you drop you Laptop, microsoft doesn't care and a company like dell prolly won't do anything either. Apple Care covers a huge range of insurance on a computer. and a $250 laptop is probably a POS anyway.

  • @mpm1900 haha i know right. What kinda laptop is he buying for 250. You're not going to get a computer (no matter what brand) for less than 800 dollars

  • @Kaylanthedj Uh. Dude calm down. It just a joke that makes no sense. Sorry. And I'm use a mac. Look at how mad you got over nothing. wow.

  • @FASSY524 im not mad. i just was confused why u called my mom something over a topic thats true and not harmful to u

  • if something goes wrong on a pc I usually know were to look but on a mac I found it to be really unintuitive

  • i want to do what i want to do with my pc and not what steve jobs wants me to do

  • anyone know how to get the subtitles off the video thanks

  • pc means personal computer, so when you say "pc sucks" your saying that all computers suck (except those huge ones in factories and stuff).

  • @happymarik Sorry I looked nope no one makes Linux viruses...

  • @happymarik But wait no that's right there a there are now Linux viruses ...

  • Not true, macs can also make their own software and everything!!!!

    its called SDK (Sofware Development Kit). This came out last year i think and people are making apps for iphone, osx's and many other thngs. I fyou reallly like pc's then heck, you can get paraells descktop or bootcamp that will run ANYTHING you want . i ahve xp for paralells and windows 7 for bootcamp. It pretty much the only computer youll ever need :D

  • @happymarik If they want they could run Linux , and Windows both...

    They make paraells, VirtualBox, and vmWare all for for Linux as well...

    I'm running XP, Windows 7, and PC-BSD inside Linux Ubuntu ...

    I'm triple-booting... Mac OS will also run on my PC...

  • Old fart

  • its a fast way of explaining it! i appreciate it! We all learn different.

  • If he knew anything about computers he would know that Linux, and BSD both can run on a "PC" and both make OS'es that don't get viruses, and both are free.

    Plus Apple had a project called MKLinux, and BSD code was added to Mac OS X after the NeXTSTEP OS ... so this mean ... Windows does not equal "PC" and Mac OS is not the only OS that doesn't get viruses ...

  • @maw88ify lmfao your point, everything was made from linux, it was like the first os. But its ist the best. its like the most basic you can get

  • @happymarik My point is Linux is good for Porn , it's like a rubber for your PC ... :)

  • thats why i love Windows 7, not only do you not have to worry about programs not being compatable, its has that same function on the pc as the mac does, minus the entering name and password.

  • pc (windows) = freedom, it does the things u tell it to not the other way around recommended for advanced users.

    mac = closed system recommended for users that do simple things and want to do it with little or no hastle with pretty UI they also get n00b support from apple.

  • this guy is an old n00b

  • this guy is obviously an apple fan, terrible video

  • the Macintosh company is called Apple. no need to say "The Macintosh company". Also, don't refer Windows as a PC, refer that computer as a PC. After all, some people don't call Macs a PC, and Macs can run Windows via boot camp

  • 0:21

    Virus pop-up XD

  • nice.witch one is cheaper?

  • My mom has a Dell PC from 2002 and it still runs fine. And it has only had 2 viruses its whole life. Its almost faster than my 2009 macbook. PC's are better now. Windows 7 is really an improvement. Don't dis PC users because most real businesses use PC. And only places with macs are like art studios, recording studios, school computer labs, I am getting tired of mac a little. I wanna be able to play games when ever I can.

  • @FASSY524 Macs can't play good games without windows and even then its still not the same.

  • @FASSY524 Well, of course: a PC is a good choice for gamers and computer geeks who are into tweaking and customizing.

    But for those who don't have that much free time on their hands or need a stable rock-solid computer which encourages productivity, a mac is a good choice

  • This video isn't true, but he is to old to be a Mac fanboy...

    The truth is DELL makes Linux PC's, and Linux doesn't get viruses...

    Fact is a PC can run both Linux , and BSD , and both are free operating systems.

    Mac OS uses code from BSD...

    The truth is Mac OS is made for computer illiterates.

    Fact is Linux Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and PC-BSD are all made for noobs, and not hard to use... Large companies like Google, DreamWorks, Amazon use Linux.

    The Android Phone, the ELSE smart phone are Linux .

  • lols 0:21 virus pop up

  • your are much likely to bee forced to buy a pc, if you want everything and don't want to pay for it .

  • yes, i want to have all of the most harmful viruses old man!!!!! just joking.... we all know that all users of computers and mac don't like that so don't tell us

  • Windows is not a pc (personal computer), it's a damn operating system.

  • @Kaylanthedj Your mom is a PC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Kaylanthedj

    so what u don't need to be sooo precice with everything

  • @Kaylanthedj

    so what u don't need to be sooo precise with everything

  • @Kaylanthedj Uh, ya thank for pointing that out Captain 'obviously'! It's the most common way to distinguish the two. Mac's a computer, not a software. The softwares are different. There are hundreds of computers that windows runs on. Your not going to name all of them are you?

  • Macs are capable of viruses, just not alot of people write them , because more people own a PC. Macs are much better multimedia wise, they were buit for it, but PC has better gaming qualities.
