  • I love both Macintosh and Windows.

  • I'm getting my new Imac 21.5 with I7, 2.8 processor and I'm moving from my old Dell 8100. And I haven't been this excited in years. I watch these videos and and it's amazing to me the things that you can do with them and the ease of doing things. I get my new Imac on the 18th from the States indirectly because Apple won't sell me direct for fear of what I can do with it from Costa Rica. Bummer! Hey I'm a UCLA grad and an American citizen. What kind of shit is this? And a Viet Nam vet too.

  • vista...

  • chris, should I use Vmware or bootcamp to run other operating systems on a mac?

  • i use windows 7, Chrome OS and Ubuntu

  • I use Ubuntu.

  • hey chris, do u think making windows look and work like a mac is better than getting the 1000$ laptop?

  • @TheCraigID Nowhere near better. However, why not build a hackintosh if you want to save money? Os x works perfectly on the correct hardware

  • Comment removed

  • @MasterHackintosh thanks i was thinking of a hackintosh

  • @TheCraigID Good luck with it :) Just check you have compatible hardware. I recommend checking out tonymacx86 and insanleymac :)

  • how do u make the apple symbol?

  • @WyattBrauer27 It is Alt{OP}-shift-K with the OS X(10) operating system.

  • Nice video Chris. Keep up the good work!

  • Nope, never.

  • As an Ubuntu fanboy, you would think I would stick to PC only, but I LOVE my Powerbook. The big 17" screen, accelerometers, Ambient Light sensor, Mac OS 10.5, It is AMAZING! And I can install Ubuntu if I want.

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

  • Macs can do gaming you idiots it's called boot camp go to some research on apple's boot camp before posting stupid comments saying macs can't do gaming. God all of you are so stupid. That's why so many people just want to stay with shitty pc because of their stupidity in research, they think it's limited well it's fucking not.

  • @MegaDeathwarrant You're gaming on a crossfire Mac with 2GBs GDDR5, 16GB of ram, a 64GB SSD and a 10k RPM raptor HDD? If you're not, STFU and go play Age of Empires on your integrated graphics chip. If you are, congratulations on spending $2,000 more.

  • @MacbookProWizard Yet again another idiot not doing research again. It's called the mac pro stupid, 12 cores max with max memory of 64gb and comes with crossfire. If I had a chance to go back and never use pc I would. I've spent hundreds of dollars on software and fixes and realised I didn't have to do all of that with apple so I would of SAVED so much money If I'd just use mac instead of pc.

  • @MegaDeathwarrant hundreds of dollars on software and fixes? what are you even saying? try to form a coherent sentence before you respond to someone. Prove, logically, you saved money. Oh yea, that's right, you fucking can't. Big. Shock.

  • I do realize reading is difficult.

  • @MegaDeathwarrant 12 cores 64 GB crossfire? I have an alienware with Win7 xdark 4.3 x64 (notice the edition xdark, yes pc is different we're not robots) it was retail around 6k...eat dirt. P.s I have dozens of video, audio software haven’t spent not one dollar! Why because pc users know shit we know how to dl and use cracked software. Where you apple geeks don’t know shit and buy all ur music from the iTunes u novice idiots. Name one software u can't dl from a torrent site.

  • @cmichael442 this was a reply 2 : --------->MacbookProWizard 

  • @cmichael442 Yet another idiot not doing research first before posting stupid comments.

  • @MegaDeathwarrant Hey idiot I posted to the wrong idiot. I ment some one else not u shit fo brains. grw a dick.

  • @cmichael442 Nice job in making yourself look like a dumb ass.

  • @MegaDeathwarrant y r u still talking stfu u moron I wasent ever talking to you. fck off.

  • @cmichael442 Really even though you said @MegaDeathwarrant? Look who's the moron now.

  • I switched to OS X about 3 months ago and I'm never going back. :)

  • Mac is not for me!

  • Mac is known for simplicity. PC is more complicated than Mac, and if you know what you're doing you can get more out of it... but Linux is the most complicated and gives the most.

  • dont sweat it your not the only one this world is full of innuindo

  • If you're simple, then go for a mac (a form of pc). If you're technically smart, then a windows pc if better suited for you. I think mac's blow, but that's just me cause I like playing games.

  • whicht is better Mac or Windows? it's a question like this, which is better Lamborghini or Kia?

  • Once i can play Call Of Duty Black ops or higher on mac i will actually consider...

  • Rapist is climbing you'r windows, smashing you'r windows, and try to rape yall, now you nedd to hide you scree, hide your pc, and hide you'r mouse, because Steve Jobs is raping all yall machinse and turning them in to apple products

  • I am in the process of doing this. I bought a G5 off eBay in september and I was shocked at how OSX actually was. I love the speed of the core i5/windows 7 cpu I built but it has just been so peaceful using the mac.

    My tax return has Macbook Pro written all over it, windows will be banned from my house next month.

  • switched to mac a year ago. best decision i EVER made! don't wanna say macs are better by tech specs. pcs are better in gaming for sure. macs are just DIFFERENT. and i love it. love the simplicity and usability of the UI, the extravagant and beautiful design and of course the PHILOSOPHY BEHIND EACH PRODUCT.

    THE SPIRIT OF APPLE AND MACINTOSH WILL NEVER DIE.

     FOREVER

  • @Payvel22

    You mean OSX and the outer visual design of a MAC. If Apple allowed people who owned Windows OS to be able to use OSX i think Apple would loose some large amounts of money...

    I think people buy MACS because of its OS rather then everything else... Sure they might say "i like the outer design of this IMAC" but thats not really a great reason.

    Maybe even that MACs save more space due to its small and slick design... Apple should make OSX available to Windows users..who play on a"PC"

  • @Payvel22 im thinking of getting the new macbook pro on the 10th march (my bday) is it definately worth it?

  • @NoFearKieranHere ofcourse!!! it does!!!

  • @Payvel22 or there saying right "Think different" whats different about it? most mac computers Ive seen look identical and most users are novices that wanted a computer that just works. but whats different about it? all mac users have the exactly same wallpaper & shortcuts lol and i said most not all. But its it very hard to find to pc users with similar desktops.

  • @Payvel22 Didn't Steve Jobs die a few days ago?

  • iSnot is compatible with the iNose and iHead. XD

  • people who think mac machines or operating systems are superior to PCs are disgustingly stupid. The ONLY argument they have that is based on any kind of objective reality is "macs don't get viruses" (although they do, there aren't as many viruses that infect macs) but it becomes a moot point once you get a decent anti-virus program.

  • I'm getting an iMac for christmas

  • @2009Ubuntu

    ubuntus pretty good, it has alot of aplications on it,

  • I'm getting a Mac Book Pro December 16th and doing BootCamp and running Windows 7.

  • People seem to think that the debate is:

    Windows vs Mac OS X

    when people talk about

    PC vs Mac(PC with only apple hardware)

    But keep in mind that it's a completely different debate.

  • I have ubuntu 10 on my laptop, and my advice would be to forget it as it uses more battery power than windows ultimate 7 with the same brightness.

    Not to bash on OS X but Mac's have awful hardware for the price.

    OEM hardware is cheaper, performs better and much easier to replace and repair. The only real advantage of going Apple is the lack of driver issues and the look of the device(which no techie will care about).

  • @thefifthlord1 somebodys gonna scream at me for this but they have good hardware. there is no pc out there thats 15 inches big with an i5, 330m and 8 hours of battery out there under an inch thick. The macbook pro 15 is getting kinda old and still, no pc is quite there in terms of power, battery and size.

  • Tried out Ubuntu 6 months ago. As far as I'm concerned windows 7 aint got nothin on it, and Mac OS seems to be a copy of it (just modified) that you have to pay for...

  • are you guys reading what these people are typing in the middle at the bottem? XD

  • Macs are too expensive and I love to play games, so I'll stick with my PC.

  • @neomysterio Gaming is best on Windows, I suppose. Well, I'm deciding to get a Mac, but also installing Windows on it. Best of both worlds.

  • im switching to mac in a couple weeks

    i think mac is better for what i use it for

  • Hell no, I've used both for months and windows is far superior to Mac for my needs right now. I felt as though I narrowed my horizons when I used a Mac. Vista almost made me change my mind but Windows 7 quickly fixed that.

  • EPIC THREE AMIGOS REFERENCE!!!!!!!!

  • Don't be sheepish, make the switch to Mac now. It's a myth to say Macs are more expensive than traditional "PC's". It's not about the cost, it's about where you want to put that cost. Macs have amazing resale value. AMAAAZING. You buy a Mac today for $2000, you'll probably be able to sell that Mac for $1500 in three years time. You try doing that with a Windows PC. The whole world is switching to Mac, so there has never been a better time to join the Mac family. Microsoft is dead, as is Windows.

  • @aurichiemedia Indeed, Microsoft is dead with 90% of the computer market share.

    -_- Idiot.

  • @aurichiemedia Yep, if only they could make all my old games work on a Mac...and if only iPhone had flash support then I would throw my Pc's out the window right now. Until that happens Mac just won't be a replacement.

  • @hattrickster33 Yeah if only Mac was a PC! ;D

  • @aranhar Well that's like saying Sony and MS should collab and make a gaming system together...just won't happen.

  • @hattrickster33 What i ment was that apple Hardware sucked so much balls that they had to switch to PC hardware which now means the the Mac is no longer a Mac becose the best Mac is actually a PC. A hackintosh (PC running Mac OS) is the fastest Mac available since they can use the extreme i7 processors and the better graphics cards that the OS supports which arent available for Macs.

    A Mac is nowadays a slower PC with a OS that runs on both!

  • @hattrickster33 Just to clarify. A Mac is a piece of shit but its OS is great. So a PC running a Mac based OS is just a better machine and you dont have to spend a shitload more money for lesser hardware.

  • @aranhar Yea that's the whole thing though, most people look at the two as they are. They think PC=Windows Mac=Snow Leopard.

  • The reminds me about the talk me and my mom had about my sexuality.

  • i will be switching to mac if i can redeem it fast enough in Lockerz redemption. Thats really the only way i could in my current situation.

  • Woot when I sell my other car im gona get an ipad. My mom is getting one for her law business also.

  • Vista, Windows 7 = dinosaurs, slow,. cluttered, prone to hacks and viruses.

    Apple = more reliable, safer.

    Make the choice and don't complain.

  • @OSS732

  • @OSS732 apple gets viruses too you know...........

  • @xXwhygodwhyXx yes, but its harder to get them than windows

  • @xXwhygodwhyXx compared to windows? um Very rare"lol try a mac n if not return it "

  • Pc due to Alienware

  • The Three Amigos reference made me laugh, Chris.  Love it.

  • Anyone who switches to mac from pc is the BIGGEST FUCKING DUMBASS IN THE WORLD

  • @Metaknight362 no not every1 plays games... not every1s poor... not every1s retarded

  • Now how to switched back to Win 7?

  • Best part about Mac is you can run Windows and Mac both legally. I tried OSX86 but It wasn't compatible on mac notebook so , yeah :P

  • great for you and all *cough FAIL* but ill stick to my video games and upgradeable hardware. have fun in networking hell.

  • Hackintosh is the best, run OSX on any machine, for 1/3 the price, and it runs rather well, I may do it eventually, when I work up the time and craving for it.

  • If Microsoft and Apple make a deal that they will produce a new computer with a whole different software that works 50% mac and 50% windows. If they do that that computer will be beast and beat all.

  • @CraptasticLMAO that would fail cause every1 would be the same and ther would be no compition

  • I'm going to switch in a few weeks or so, getting MacBook Pro 13'.

  • Now I know, you have something of Rick Moranis. After using Vista a lot it is very slow, windows 7 looks better.

  • imac 27 inch core i7 4gb of ram is my first proper desktop mac had the plastic macbook b4 that os x is just so much easier and faster its wins hands down

  • I was a windows user for my entire life, And now... Windows has gotten on my last nerve, I am now switching to mac

  • I felt the same way as you guys, windows user all my life, just bought a macbook this weekend out of curiosity, and it is AMAZING... but then again, that is just my opinion

  • Simple, I wouldn't microwave my homemade gaming tower.

  • I switched 2 years ago from XP and i love it. my sister who uses vista hates it and when windows 7 came out, it was just a pattened version of vista, same crap, spyware this virus that. I get things done so much faster with my macbook :)

  • I contemplated seriously about getting an iMac-not to spite existing mac users,but it's software and hardware limitations coupled with the ridiculous pricing is illogical to me.

    I'm strongly in favor of possessing full control over my computer, I need to have at least partial access to BIOS, I need performance hardware at logical prices, and lastly I INSIST on excellent customer warranty policies(look up XFX exchange policy).

    I'm not 100% satisfied with Win OS, but it serves all my ends fully.

  • i was about to switch to MAC but the price draged me to a DELL, for 2,000 dollars i got a bigger and better PC, more RAM, more GFX, more Procesing power etc.

  • I tried to swith. But I couldn't find a replacement for MPC-HC, foobar2000, MeGUI, etc., so I went back to Windows.

  • if you have mac you got a software called cross over that runs any windows game on a mac and it can run it even fastar than in windows :p

  • I really want an iMac. It is so beautifully made, and i love the operating system. Also, the mac is a lot more faster than my pc =P

  • no...enough said

  • I switched from Windows to Mac OS X last June...

    Not only have I never been happier with a computer, but I don't think I've ever been happier with a consumer electronics device, period.

    I'm not a Fanboy, but damn, do I love my iMac.

  • then you're a fanboy, its not bad, but you're.

  • Apple are brand whores nowa days the hardware in a Mac is the same as in a PC but for the same price the hardware in the PC computer will be higher performance. If your used to MAc though stick to Mac it's what you walready know.

  • favourited lol....Funny and informative Chris.

  • Did you say STARCRAFT!!! i love that game!

  • i never liked macs, i was gona switch to it, till when i heard windwos 7 then i got it cuz it was better than vista

  • i love windows, i have a mac mini and i fucking hate it.

  • im to poor to get a mac lmao gotta stay with the cheap 300-500 windows based pc and that sucks lmao.

  • lllllllllll

    l

  • i went from a long line of PC's to a mac mini i got in '05 that just broke on me (my fault, messed up a processor upgrade & broke the motherboard) & in '07 i got a pc because i missed them to an extent but it broke a year later. now my next mini is on its way & im stuck using my moms acer desktop until tomorrow. id have to say get a pc for business use or gaming use (cheaper for more performance), or get a mac if you want a better daily use computer.

  • Or you could just get a PC and install a linux OS on it... because it's cheaper and less vulnerable then mac is. There are also many amazing free and open source software out there for linux. I like building machines. I like using them and bending them to my will. I'd never consider apple.

  • i will switch to a mac no doubt but i dont have 2000 dollars for a computer that does the same as a 500 dollar computer

  • my mini is on the way right now, got it new with snow leopard for $580. not trying to argue & say one is better than the other, just saying that if your budget is $500, it might be worth it to save up another $80. has a 2.26 intel core 2 duo prcessor, 2gb ddr3 ram (which ill upgrade to 4gb soon myself), & a 160gb hdd. well worth it to me for the os itself.

  • I am trying to switch to mac but i have to save up money

  • He's right about one thing: "No OS is perfect"

    That's why I formatted my hard drive. Now my computer is perfect. It NEVER crashes. and it does everything so quickly. Thanks for the tip Chris. Never been happier, and I don't miss my OS at all.

  • I took the best decision:

    I decided not waste any money and get Linux. Now I can exploit my computers speed without so much silly things and still run my windows programs through WINE.

  • Get a Mac, you can still enjoy the nightmare of windows under VMware or Bootcamp.

  • my start menu is at the top and i modded my pc for MAC OSX dock on the bottom =P loving mac's and windows

  • i switched to a mac ,when i was held at gun point , by future shop dealer

  • I switched to a mac after spending 10+ years using a PC

  • swiched to apple 4 months ago, best decision i ever made

  • @reetrulez Stupid Mac user is stupid, you obviously haven't seen Windows 7.

  • @elel70 now what gives you the idea that i never used windows 7, as a matter of fact.i have a windows xp, windows 7, snow leopard, as well a linux machine. how am I a stupid mac user because I prefer snow leopard over other operating system. im sorry that i can have opinion and pick something based on what I like or dont like.

  • @reetrulez Just tell me one thing that is better on the Mac or what I can't do on a PC that you can on a Mac?

  • @elel70 I just find it funny that your taking it so personal that i have an opinion on a certain OS and what I prefer to use. I could care less on what you can or cant do on your computer. i have my preferences

  • @reetrulez Not taking it personally, I just want to know why you prefer Mac, Linux pwns all tho, I am multibooting XP, 7, Ubuntu and DOS, you can use WINE on Linux so I can run stuff from Windows, notice on the quiz machines in pubs normally run on Linux because it doesn't crash, I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu, on Windows it gives me errors from time to time or maybe a BSOD, but it's usually fixable as it gives a detailed error code, on OSX it gives me an error with no info so I'm fuckd.

  • I bought my 17inch macbook pro 2.ghz 4gig ram, 500 gig hd on September 5th, 2009 and I'm not regretting it!!

  • im getting my imac september 18 (my bday) cant wait its so fucking boring its like time slows down

  • I tried watching this, but Jesus you are annoying.

    Just have this to say;

    Relatively, neither PCs nor Macs are entirely better than the other.

    PCs are better for gamers, because they're the maintstream and most companies produce their games to be suited for them.

    Macs are better for businesses, because being the minority, less people are interested in making viruses for them.

    The whole fucking argument is stupid though, seeing as how there are wars and injustice steaming across the world.

  • Tried mac OS X, but there's nothing about it that makes me want it over Windows Vista. And considering Vista is far from perfect, I can't wait till Windows 7 comes out. Plus with all the free programs available online, Vista can do everything OS X can do and a hell of a lot more. To me the biggest problem with Macs is the price...if they weren't selling midrange hardware for top dollar, I'd maybe consider buying one. I say fuck Apple...I'm sticking with Microsoft.

  • I used to have only macs (when it was OS 9), but when windows took the video games with them, I was doomed... I used to play a game on my old mac, it was space invaders, but you were a mac fighting PCs away...good old times...*snif*

  • i switched to mac and love it. mac is so much fun it is amazing

  • @ifredable1

    whats fun about it?

    i mean:

    windows: games

    mac:?

  • For your question: No.

  • Oh, and I know what to expect with this different operating system.. I've been going to the Apple store and experimenting on my friend's iMac. I want one sooooo bad.

  • I would really like to switch to Mac...

    And I'm GOING to AS SOON as I get the money. (:

    I'M TIRED of Vista. And Windows in general. -.-

  • In the begining of the video you reminded me of Adam Savage from Mythbusters. (from around 0:00 - 0:31)

  • he is exactly like my dad!

  • I've used Windows, Ubuntu and OS X.... I like them all, but I didnt enjoy the Ubuntu experience but I guess I'm just not that type of user. I myself prefer the OS X environment over the Windows but I love both the same.

  • I completely agree with this. It's personal preference. I currently use Windows and I'm pretty happy. I don't bash Apple, nor do I bash Microsoft.

  • mabye cause it takes to long to download

  • Don't get a mac, get a Linux.

  • Sorry, Ubuntu didn't work for me.

  • Are you a Mac?

  • are you joking? haha

  • Why get windows for purposes other than gaming?It SUCKS!

  • i was replay to the comment 'dont get a mac, get linux, haha

  • Did you know that on higher specs ALL windows run slower than mac osx ... they did it on a tv show

  • bullshit! BULLSHIT! since when do macs have core i7's?

    core i7 + ssd = mega fucking fast!

  • umm why get mac other than getting ripped off?

  • Yeah, I agree except with the Mac Pro. You get ripped off for the best computer money can buy. If you say super computers are better, keep in mind they are clusters of regular computers connected together to make a super computer.

  • I liked my macbook and I also like smashing it up:)

  • As a beginner I find this mac a pain in the ass.

    Almost everything requires 10 hours searching google just to figure out how to search for *,php say.

    Hidden files, for goodness sake what a pain.

  • er...it's called spotlight!

  • I'm switching Life OS to Death OS Some point in the future.

  • why fight? get both =D

    work with mac

    play with windows

    =D

  • why mac for work, why play for windows? why not both of both? BOOTCAMP.

  • i know, but u'll have to have a powerful mac to play the high end games which will cost a lot. that's only my point of view.

  • i have a base model macbook pro and i play high end games on mac and windows, cod4 crisis etc. All on full spec and they run perfectly

  • And also I realise people say mac's are expensive, but you are paying for a standard. Sure you can get a PC seriously cheap but it's gonna be a pile of junk. For a PC that competes atleast at the same standard as a mac to make a fair comparison it's going to cost alot more than a mac.

  • i know... but unfortunately i only have a macbook with the intel graphic card, so there'r a lot of games that couldn't be played... =(

  • Yes! Both!

  • wow how many real world friends do you think this guy has.

  • mac good windows is bullshitt

  • I recently got my first Mac; a MacBook Pro. Gotta say, prices aside, I can't deny that it is indeed the easiest and most rewarding computing experience I have ever had.

  • Dood shut up no one cares what you do, if you wanna switch to Mac then go ahead!!! Damn it man next yur gonna have video of weather or not to switch from Scotty's Toilet Tissue or Charmin!!!! Damn it you are fucking annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just purchased my first mac today for college, I've buckled because in the past I wast opposed to mac because of the price mainly, however after all my PCs (not cheap ones $1000+ models, and from multiple OEMs) had constant hardware failures, I've decided to just give macs a try.

  • so what?

  • I went from Windows to Linux(Ubuntu) to Leopard.

    I think I will sticking with a Mac for a while =).

  • I would rather have Microsoft and brand name windows software rather then trusting "cold pizza software", growl, bleeppblop, i-snot or candy bar etc.lol what a jolk.

  • man you have skills in electronics.

  • Comment removed

  • I love you but I am a guy so I am not in love with you but I love you and your videos

  • got a windows, switched to mac, then switched back to windows. mac sucks

  • I switched back to windows. Tried Mac for a year got sick of low capatability, horrible performance, unstable OSX and just not being able to use any software or games.

    mac sucks.
