Get a Mac

 

[CTID Chris]

Anyone who says go with PC, hasn't owned a Mac.

Anyone who owns a Mac, is a ****. See how easy generalising idiocy is.

the 'rags' of the technology world...

Anyway, Macs are good. Expensive, overpriced, but good. If you have the money to waste, go ahead. You can get better for cheaper though, but then you wouldn't have a Mac.

Very solid and nice looking like the MAC but with a superior OS in my opinion in Windows 7.

Not sure if serious....

Windows 7, as much of an improvement as it is, is still a world away from OSX

Go on. Tell us why.

Windows 7 often pops up with "X has stopped working, do you wish to force it to shut down, or wait?"
Had numerous issues with wireless cards just not being recognised by W7, despite having OEM drivers apparently written for it.

just a couple of issues of the top of my head from my own experiences. I do have a Win7 PC in the study, but my day to day machine is still my 3 year old MacBook. As good as ever.

Need a new laptop. Decent size budget.

Two criteria.
- High quality processor (Good enough for music recording)
- Reasonable lightweight (For taking into lectures.

I was looking at the Macbook because it covers both of these options. It's £1000 (or £850 with my student discount). I was just wondering whether it is worth the money or whether I could get something to the same effect for cheaper.

Any advice?

If you've got the money you should get a Mac. No question. Don't listen to the PC Nazis who have their own special anti-virus shit. The fact that they need it tells you absolutely everything.

You don't need anti-virus on a Mac then?

So when those iMacs with ATI cards, two separate iterations (different graphics cards from different generations), were overheating, and were both fixed by firmware updates, this proved what exactly? Going to need much more than this kind of anecdotal reasoning - which wouldn't prove anything anyway. Windows 7 has far more hardware to support than OS X. That makes it a better OS, not a poorer one. Extensive hardware support is a huge plus in its favour. Try installing OS X on non-Mac hardware and compare how easy it is compared to GNU/Linux or Windows 7. That's your comparison. You could argue that the integrated approach is a point in favour of using a Mac (this is debatable of course because there's gains and losses from it) but it certainly isn't a point in favour of a superior OS.<br /><br />-- Sat May 28, 2011 4:42 pm --<br /><br />

Love posts like these. Get a Mac because they're more secure and you don't need an anti-virus... If I had a Mac and couldn't be bothered using an anti-virus, I'd be telling people not to get a Mac.
