Mac. Better for all kinds of media software. Better for ease of use. Fantastic screens. Student discount :D

Mac all the way

I've got a great PC



















It makes a good doorstop ;)

Charlie Brooker pretty much summs it up

You lot talk some right sh*t:hjtwofing

lol amuzing read.

"Very well said. The thing about Mac users is that they are usually the kind of people who scorn shiny consumerist things like flashy mobile phones and plasma screen TVs - but Macs, which are just as wanky, are socially acceptable."


interesting quote :lol1:

You're ALL wrong - has to be one of these......

Pfft, far too advanced with its fancy basic command line operating system and tape drive.

What you need is one of these:

Mac for their stable operating system, well build products and aftercare.

Like using Windows if you are a real Mac user....

lets face it if you were in trouble -- car broken down needing a push, need a ladder to help get you into your house etc etc


and if you saw two people standing at a bus stop - one a PC user One a Mac user



who would you ask for help -- the mac user or the pc user

The one carrying the Ladder. :thumb:

indeed -- which to be fair will most prob be the PC user, as he is used to fixing things

the Mac user will most likely be one his way to the local Fair Trade coffee shop to buy an authentic hand knitted latte

:D

The thing that I find funny is Apple users are so precious about their beloved Macs and OS-X etc. yet these days a Mac is little more than PC hardware running Linux with a good GUI.

I'd like to point out that both linux and windows have error screens, where as the mac does not. :D

Thus the emergence of the hackintosh; a PC or laptop/netbook configured to run OS-X...for up to a third of the cost of an off the shelf mac :D

Although I have always run PC, I have to say that Mac was the first with a usable GUI.

horses for courses.

There are three things to consider when buying a machine.

1. Cost initial and cost of ownership
2. What you want from the machine
3. How long it will last.

Note that looks do not come in the top three, well not if you are a PC user :)

When a PC user looks at a machine, they look at the price tag, what it can do and then see if it wil last or need upgrading in the future. Most PC users will turf out there PC's far earlier than a mac user but more importantly they do not consider the overal cost of ownership, such as support, upgrades in software and hardware, AV solutions etc.

Now a mac user will know that it may be more expensive £ for £ per machine but will be swayed by the looks, the integration of hardware and software, the way it handles stuff and then the cost. Cost of ownership is far lower down the list because mac users keep the machine longer and have far less to do to it over the life of the mac.Add to that all the free built in software and it comes to a pretty good deal. The extra money involved is offset by the total time they will own it.

So there you have it. They equal out in the end.

But I have helped hundreds of people switch from PC to Mac and not one of them, not one has ever gone back. Read into that what you may.

stuck in MAC hell - desperately trying to find right click ~ open new window, so they can jump back into reality

Swiss is bang on.

I have a 4 year old iMac that cost me a grand, it's still used as my main machine and is untouched. It works perfectly and always has, the hardware is in perfect tune with the software. Viruses and the like are not something I have to worry about or pay to defend against.

My Macbook is three years old, I've seen people going through two or more Windows laptops in that time. It runs Windows extremely well using Apple drivers, no mention of 'Hacking' it's supported by Apple.

If I need some advice I pop into the Apple store where they're more than happy to help me with my out of warranty purchases.

And my right click is on the right hand side of my mouse.
