One paragraph max.

Provide a link. etc.

Otherwise the lawyers come after us with blunt knives.

I would hire Justin long soo Bloody hard if i had the oppotunity...Even if i had to switch every computer to a Mac, It would be worth it

Says more about the people using the system than it does the machine.

A poor tradesman always blames his tools and a PC fanboi always blames the user.

 

[HolyRioli]

Buy a Mac and install Windows. Not that hard, and then you have both

I don't think you're doing it right.

Mac are so far superior to PCs. I have to use a dell laptop for work and it's a cluncky complicated piece of shit. I've spent this morning organising archive folders in outlook because every time i redock out look automatically creates a new archive folder.

I dislike clutter and am not a fan of TVs. A tv really fks up a room imo, so my imac doubles as my TV. Also, I use Final Cut pro for editing.

Macs look good and suit my needs more than windows - they're ****ing clunky and ugly.

lol, i know people who have done that because they need to use a certain program for architecture. Other than absolute need, why on earth would anyone do that.

Blatantly wrong.

Stick with lines like that.

This needs to be quoted....

Steve Jobs could take a dump, put it in an off-white plastic case, add two grey buttons and a small LCD display, and you'd pay $600 for it. Just f**king admit it.

I have two macs but i can recognise Windows is a far superior OS. Bootcamp FTW

I do understand why people use mac's, simple, and depends on what they use it for (Creative uses) but i will not accept any other answer to why a mac is better.

They look better, are faster and much less clunky.

 

[alfy!]

Mac's are faster? Wait, what.

 

[sblack]

They look better

Ok, no issue with that

are faster

Huh? In what way? Is it the slower processor? Or the less RAM?

and much less clunky.

That usually comes down to the user not looking after their PC/MAC. This really is the same as saying 'PCs are slower', as clunk implies slow, which means you're repeating the same point twice.

yeah this (add easier to use for computer illiterate people too) pretty much.

The streamling of the Macs case results in a faster terminal velocity when thrown out the window of an office tower. That must be what he meant.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

I recently got a new laptop for christmas and when I was looking through all the catalogues I couldn't understand why a mac with less in it cost hundreds more than a pc with more in it. Of course it is only going to weigh 100g its got jack shit for space and ram, if that's what you pay extra for you're a stooge.

They only look better because they have no hardware in them to bulk them up.

An equivalently priced PC will be faster, thats a fact, especially if it has windows 7 apposed to windows XP.

Its funny how by buying a mac people think they are not conforming, actually its the other way around.

Buying a mac is buying an apple product, which is a huge coporation.

You can buy a HP, dell, samsung etc PC which are not massive corporations.

Buying a PC is less conformist.

Absolute tripe Probst.

HP, Dell, ...... are all massive corporations, maybe not as large as Apple but give me a break.

According to this graph - You're the one conforming.


Usage share of web client operating systems. (Source: Median values from Usage share of operating systems for December 2010.) Windows XP (44.0%)
Windows 7 (24.23%)
Windows Vista (16.74%)

Because people are dumb enough to pay double for a sticker. Price difference won't change as long as that continues.

But they just work!
