That's actually a good point there Echo. Mac hardware has been Intel for a few years and the latest OS have been based on UNIX. So in other words, nothing about them is original Macintosh.

its not just that macs use intel hardware... i mean macs are actually FULLY ASSEMBLED in the same factories as dells and so on. apple and dell are just oems, all they do is relabel laptops produced by companies like quanta, compal, etc. they do not produce any of their own laptops. thus, all this "apple hardware just works" bullshit is total nonsense. it is the exact same hardware as most pcs, from the exact same manufacturers as most pcs.

mac user ignorance at its finest.

Me, more or less. At a job I had I had to work on a mac for 3 months. (one of those 20" flatscreens with everything built in) It was terrible.
* It crashed out of the box, when it was brand new.
* Virtually couldn't get any free software for the couple of audio needs I had over there. Mostly this free package crashed a lot, even though that probably wasn't caused by the mac it is frustrating.
* The standard mouse is just off the charts stupid design, it doesn't allow you to drag and drop over the entire screen in 1 take.
* No easy 1 button keys for delete/home etc. Those are probably a couple of the keys I use most.

Furthermore I have a couple of objections, especially in the way iTunes takes over your machine as soon as you install it, coming with Quicktime and taking over all file references and auto starting them in either iTunes and Quicktime. I would still have had both of them (and my ipod touch too) if this software wasn't so darn up in your face all the time. I find that typical for Apple.

The only positive Apple experience I had was recently working with Logic. If it would have been a pc product I probably would have bought it by now.

I never had this much trouble on a normal pc, not now or even in the DOS age, or the C64 times.

Apple will never make Logic compatible with Win because they would lose a large chunk of customers if they did. Hell, even I would give Logic a go if it was available on Win.

I know, but it was just to point out that I think Macs do have some good stuff which definitely makes it worth considering. Only it doesn't have as much goodness as I'm used to .

- you fail.





we have a few updates automatically downloaded every month or so, you upgrade your entire OS every ~18 months. lol. the mac release cycle is a joke, but that's what you get with an immature product. http://static.arstechnica.com/20090...-x-timeline.png



pc laptops have had synaptics for years, this is nothing special. http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/products/touchpad

point remains, mac touchpads still have no right click. even if pcs didn't have synaptics, mac touchpads would still suck - what would be the point in being able to zoom and shit if you couldn't even right click with one finger? lol.



and as i said before...







virtually every pc oem offers extended warranties. are you seriously that blind that you think this is some kind of mac god feature? lol.



oh, here's another fun fact for mac elitists: my laptop was made by the same company as your mac, as are most peoples "shitty pcs". lolpwned.

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/foru...cfm/679605.html

AND YOU THOUGHT APPLE ACTUALLY MADE THEIR OWN LAPTOPS, RIGHT?

u know what your not really saying anything in your posts, u havent come up with one arguments whats good about PC/Win. Yes it runs Cubase, what else? Yeah windows Explorer is better than OSX Finder, I agree on that. Also the Docking and meny bar is abit weird in OSX, but none of that shit is important.

Its your problem that ur not willing to learn something new, not mine. The new Macs aren't very expensive anymore either and it runs Windows good so i dont see why not getting a mac? Because its hard to upgrade? Any laptop is, but you can replace memory and HD on the macbook pro yourself, only not CPU. on the iMac I agree it would have been awesome if you could do that easily, probably will be there in the next version. Does PC even have an option to the iMac btw? A screen with everything inside? Dont think ive seen that. On the big Mac you can upgrade whatever you like, but that shit is just too expensive anyway so its not that one im barging about, its the new macbook pro and the smallest iMac.

Btw i dont care where the shit is made, i know its probably made in Thailand to reduce costs like everything else. the thing is that you get all the parts from Apple so that if anything brakes they cant blame anyone else. On PC its like; Intel says: "Oh it must be your motherboard, contact ASUS", ASUS says: "its your ram go to Corsair", Corsair says: "go to Samsung its your HD its something wrong with". Then Samsung says: "Its your Windows that is fucked, do a reinstall". But I dont have the CD. Get a new one for 200USD. Then that didnt help and it shows that there something wrong with the cabinet-power-supply which is not available anymore. God i hate PC.

Well whatever, people can do whatever they like, im just saying that your not going wrong with buying mac even though u find yourself hating OSX, just run Windows. If u get a PC and find yourself hating Windows your kinda stuck. Whatever, not going to discuss anymore with retard arguments here. Come with some actual good statements whats so good about a PC.

but then you wouldn't have a home key, an end key, a proper delete key or proper right click. if you just bought a pc laptop from the start, you would have all these basic things. macbooks are crippled.

this is no different from buying a computer from dell, hp, alienware, whatever. your point is irrelevant.
