@TheHalo3fanz It may have looked like a flame war, but I assure you I had no emotional stakes in it, I was just messing with the idiot.

@pulseforce They don't actually cut out on the quality, I mean the one I have now is $800 yet I could build it myself for like $500.... and it runs just as good as high-end parts.

@SteveTheMovieTheGame it only -used- to be more secure because windows -used- to be easier to crack than mac, now it's been turned around. either way, it's only as secure as the person using it.

I think both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages but by no means Macs>Windows machines or vice versa. Ive used both platforms and they are both alright. Paul Thurott might be biased towards Windows but thats because he runs a Windows weekly broadcast. He does have a liking to some Apple products and sometimes he prefers them over Windows stuff. I see no need for a flame war by the people below.

You weren't worth an intelligent discussion. Nothing you posted was intelligent or even accurate. You were simply trolling with your fanboy BS and spouting lies. You both got called out for your fanboy crap, and then you got offended, angry, whatever.

Then again, it's ironic hearing two idiots throwing around talk about an intelligence discussion, while at the same time saying things like "suck my fat one."

[pulseforce]

It's raining posts, hallelujah-it's raining posts, raining posts! :-)

[HTHAMMACK1]

"This is a personal throwaway YouTube account. No way in hell that I'm showing you my real identity so you can harass me in real life."

LOL! You think I would follow you around harassing you. You aren't worth the effort. Couldn't care less. I've already outed you for the fanboy, viral marketing tool that you are.

[SteveTheMovieTheGame]

@pulseforce Yeah you're right, i'm done. He was emotional and irrational from the beginning. He was clearly a fanboy with no intentions or ability to have an intelligent discussion.

[HTHAMMACK1]

@pulseforce LOL! Far better OS. Keep living in fanboy land. Here's the deal. Can you find a Windows laptop that's really expensive? Sure. But anyone with a brain can find an equivalent Windows laptop for far cheaper than a MBP and that Elitebook.

I might also add that Intel GPU for the MBP is plagued with driver issues, and on equal specs, performs worse than the Radeon. I might also add that the HP can be bought for less with some savvy shopping.

@HTHAMMACK1 I don't take you seriously or value you as a human being, that's all, so if you want to suck my cock just let me know. I'll be here wiggling it around until you change your mind. You're not worth my brainspace. Anyway it was fun laughing at you, good night, don't expect me to respond. I was only here to leave a quick reply to the other guy and decided to laugh a bit at you. Bye bye.
