its funny cos now mac is more expensive

[doritostheking]

@vajksziget7a Oh christ, you're one of THOSE mac fans. Look idiot, I'm running a paid for copy of OSX. Apple don't sell a computer that fits my needs and budget, so I'm not going to buy hardware from them. I've bought their operating system, I've bought their office software, and I use it every day on my £400 Pentium dual core tower. I need a machine with lots of drives, and £2000 for a machine with only four 3.5 inch bays is horseshit.

@mcurran456 actually it still cost around 1200 but at the time a higher end hp desktop cost around 1500. so it was "cheaper" and for the amount of quality they put into it, it was.

@vajksziget7a Well, okay, FCP X IS a bit of a problem on a Mac Mini. Photoshop runs quite well. But I am rather the one messing with music. Garageband and Logic Pro Studio. A Mac Mini is okay for that but i tend to use my MBP as it has many avantages to the Mac Mini. The mac Pro is a well-looking Computer but I likes the PowerMac G4's design more.

The only thing that really annoys me on macs is, that Apple seems to have forgotten their old motto for them: "It does more, it costs LESS".

[vajksziget7a]

@Bluedino549 Yes for most things the mac minis is good... But then comes the final cut pro X render time, photoshop render time and all of those things.Those are the programs where you NEED a lot of processors and ram.And the Mac Pro has that.The mac pro is not made for the average user.It's a workstation not a desktop.As for the design i think the mac pros are beautiful machines.If you look at them they are very simple.But also complicated.

[Bluedino549]

@vajksziget7a And then, someone got up with a package which costs less: a hackintosh! Except for OSX (It's not vanilla), every software you can run there is legal. Heh, Mac Pro, yeah, even a mac mini should be sufficient for most things. And the design... well... the design was good. Now its simple. Too simple for me. I want the iMac G4's design back, for example. But the new Mac Mini's one is nice. And the Mac Pro... Well, also the PowerMac G4's design looked better to me. :D

the limited time snow casing was $2000 back then. no joke!

@doritostheking It's nehalem xeon (Very soon sandy bridge). You know that the macs have a HUGE software and game library? I think i'll pay the premium price for the softwares like: FCP,Soundtrack pro,imovie,garageband,idvd,Iwo­rk,iweb,motion,cinema tools,iphoto, Etc.

It also has a huge game library: Don't belive me? Jut search on google: Mac games wikipedia. and click on the first link. Big enough? Also they are far more better designed then most of the PCs out there.

[doritostheking]

@vajksziget7a Yeah I'm going to blow £2000 on a xeon workstation to do a bit of photoshop and play TF2. Eat a dick.

[vajksziget7a]

@doritostheking buy a mac pro!

[alexxzz2008]

Hell yeah, I'm on my way to buy one of those! 40GB, 512 MB Ram, 400 MHZ. Got one real nice PC, but i want to try mac, and I find the price of 950 Pesos, about 85 USD fair enough :D
