OLD VIDEO! Mac vs. PC: Macbook Pro vs. HP Laptop (Summer 2009)

This is an old and no longer relevant video, and its message may not be fully supported. I do not delete old and irrelevant videos as part of my open debate and free speech policy.

Update to my last laptop comparison video.

The new Macbooks came out. I was very excited to check them out, and for the first time, I was actually impressed with the price-to-power ratio. I just had to compare the two, so I went the trusty HP site, and sat down, and made this comparison. The numbers don't lie.

P.S. Before you say "well it's Windows, boohoo" consider that Windows 7 will be here soon (October is the planned release time), and as somebody who personally tested the beta, I can tell you it will be competition for OS X. No matter how you think Windows is built, Windows 7 dishes out and runs great. It will be excellent on machines as the one I built right here.

The main differences between a Mac and a PC are the extra software that Macs come preinstalled with. Unlike PCs. The superior look and durability of a Mac to a PC. (unibody aluminum compared to plastic.) The long lasting battery in a Mac. The simplicity and look of the OS X software on Macs. (Which is soon to be the OS X Lion). And also the lack of viruses with Macs. PC have too many viruses. Macs are known to last a long tine without slowing down much.

@XCberry Not so much the fact that they do, but more their quality, yes. Many high-end PCs come with aluminium cases, and many have features and designs that the Macs lack. Many PCs have similarly good batteries, some advertise even better. OS X does cling to simplicity in its own way, and has a nice look to it, yes. Lame argument, name one PC virus that you know of? I never encountered one. Windows does slow down a bit, maybe, possibly, but it runs relatively okay... relatively to OS X.

@PoliticalHell Well, it would cost way more to have a PC with everything that mac has, it includes some really good programs, and viruses never enter. I have had about 5 PC computers which had to be either cleand up entirely because of viruses or thrown to the trash. Macs don`t need anti-virus programs, and windows does, and for good ones you need to pay

[PoliticalHell]

@TheAdrixzProductions Err, yeah Macs come with nicer programs, that's a given. Viruses are kind of a thing of the past, I don't know why people still cling to it. Microsoft even has a free antivirus made for Windows that apparently few people know about. I'll also never understand why you would throw out an infected PC (which I assume used XP or earlier Windows) - a simple reinstall will fix everything. Modern operating systems (all of them) are sophisticated enough to endure a lot of crap.

[TheAdrixzProductions]

@PoliticalHell Well the computers that we had to clean up and reinstall everything were XP, and yes, I know about Microsoft Security Essentials, but only because my uncle, who knows a lot about technology said so, windows should come with security essentials already installed.... also macs have more space, I think are faster, don`t have as many bugs and looks really good. I dont have a mac, I wish I did.... the first (good) computer was macintosh.

[PoliticalHell]

@TheAdrixzProductions Yeah, I don't know why they don't add it in out of the box. Makes no sense. OS X is good, and I think it makes Macs worth it. It runs smoother, but I'm not a fan of Apple hardware. They tend to sit far behind the modern PC specs while pricing higher. I think the Macintosh was the first gui-based personal computer.

There once was a fucking retard

That retard's name was politicalhell

He posted fucking retarded videos

And acted fucking retarded

[TheAdrixzProductions]

@PoliticalHell Mac was the first good computer. I think that if windows and mac were allied, they could make the best computer ever. Also windows should include programs that mac has for "free" like garageband or those editing programs. Windows should stop copying mac (compare windows7 to mac), but windows REALLY needs to simplify everything, if you don´t know about computers, can`t use a PC. I think both PC and Mac are good, but Mac deserves better...

@S1CKclan No not really, just defragment thru the night and they're fine. And the email system is browser based (most of it) so non-retarded people won't be "fuckt" by opening anything :)

[S1CKclan]

@Macocio Windows machines will get slower after a while. And when you open by accident a wrong email you're fuckt

[Macocio]

@S1CKclan On my XP, no virus for 3 years 'n counting.
