Ye Dyl I can understand the Window-sided opinions of those that know nothing else than PC; using it for programming/designing/running specific types of software.

Nothing wrong with Macs, I just can't justify learning my way around another OS at a higher price. I'm also averse to using iTunes and I don't have an iPhone.

I've used both for those reasons and I still prefer a PC. It feels a lot more comfortable I think.

PC definitely over Mac, I tend to use my keyboard shortcuts more than my mouse to navigate the screen, and this would go all out of sync if I were to change to Mac.

Also, last week I had trouble using a Mac for one of my subjects at uni. Really confusing without a right click button.

Just hold control down and press the bottom right of the trackpad.

It took me the best part of a month to adapt to the Mac system, but it was so, so worth it.

I use a HP desktop with windows 8 - works fine and has heaps of internal memory (500gb), got it for $350 as a display model from the good guys.

I still don't understand the purpose of Windows 8 for a computer. I find it really hard to work with.

E92_ · Mar 9, 2015

It's really not that hard to navigate imo.

Yeah, the inconsistency is just annoying. Do you use the tiles?

With 8.1 I don't use the start screen as much.

Once I get on to the desktop, I'm fine. But when I go to turn the computer off, my usual Start, Up, Enter doesn't work. And finding the bar on the right hand side of the screen is a b-word.

It's perfect for the surface pro tablet / laptop things, but not ideal for a PC without a touch screen

I know, when I found this one, my original thoughts were "perfect". Then when I saw what it actually was, I couldn't be bothered looking for another one. :|

Had my MacBook Pro since the start of 2013 and still runs like new. I'll be getting an iMac with Retina 5k Display too at the end of the year/beginning of next.

We're not allowed to because the AFL knows our branding would be so far ahead of every other teams that we'd actually have all the fans

It's true. I actually want to follow Port.
