Err yea, pretty sure they do. WHo gives a shit anyway? We're not just comparing Dells to Macs, we're looking at the big picture.

Simple fact is Rann, we're all happy to look at this objectively and primarily from a cost vs benefit view point.
Unlike you, as you're too busy trying to cram Apples logo further up your ass to actually make a half decent argument.

Check your facts mate, theres been a cracked copy of every version of ableton for mac since 5 or 6.

I've heard that there aren't as many cracks available generally though.

Smaller user base so makes sense there's less cracks, but I'm quite certain they are out there.

Thats true yeah, although I do think that's changing too. I know a few mac users who have got a lot of cracked stuff and sat in on conversations between mac and PC users where the mac users had more cracked stuff available than the PC users. Wierd.

Yeah, because heaven forbid you have to work on anything other than a perfectly white dust free and brightly screened imac. How could you analogue and sidechain without it?

I don't what your deal is - you've tried to specifically lock horns a few times with me and it didn't work then, and it aint going to work this time.

First, read the thread. Need help?

Originally posted by Fledz Dell high end laptops are actually quite good. I've had one for years (XPS M1710)

So now I've established you were the first person in this thread to compare Dell to Apple, not me.

Need more?

See, I'm not the only person making comparisons about Dell, and that doesn't take in to account the fact that ableton forums thread directly conpares several dells.

Finally, just so you know:

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN I honestly couldn't give a shit about the Mac vs PC debate

So what the fuck are you really having a go at?

Objectivity? How about this:

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN I concur that mactops (especially MBP's) don't offer huge processing power to price ratio

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN I think the macbooks are good value if raw processing power isn't your top concern and PC laptops are good value if that's your primary concern with the other factors I mentioned being secondary (screen battery life etc).

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN The MBP are over priced (period)

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN I actually think mac pro's, while extremely powerful are terrible value for money, especially when you compare them to upper spec PC's or the relation of CPU power to price with an imac.

OH SNAP! Just realised it's because of this:

quote:

Originally posted by Fledz Dell high end laptops are actually quite good. I've had one for years (XPS M1710)

quote:

Originally posted by DJ RANN Dell's are especially shit. Unless you're buying the XPS, which are even more overpriced that MPB's unless you call paying for LED lit fans "value", the build quality are poor, they have often poor choice of componentry and dealing with Dell is like fishing for ****s.

I think I can say I look at things objectively regardless of manufacturer and think you come off as a twat for trying to shove Dells logo up your own arse.

Thanks for not reading the thread then having a crack.

whoops, haven't stayed updated on this thread. at a fucking best buy of all places. right here in the states. it was between that one or a core 2 duo with a 1gb dedicated nvidia card for the same price; i decided on the better processor with the shittier card instead of vice-versa. i got it a couple months ago now.

man, my laptop is much better than the mac option and very similar to the pc option (except 4gb ddr3 instead of 8, a slightly inferior video card, and half the HDD space) for 600 bucks less than both of those options. shit i should resell this ****** and buy a new one lol

i think we all said our piece, no need to start getting personal fellas, this has actually been a fairly open and flame-free section of discussion until now...

i think you'll find 5 and 6 is the only ones that are succesfully cracked..

with 7 or 8 what happens is it works, but ableton randomly does a check if you're connected to the net and locks down ableton and whatever files you're using at the time of the check...
so yo could run it fine for a month without it randomly checking, but when it does, you're boned

either way, cracked software is badddd mmmmkay

-Everything I Say is a Lie-

I didn't bring up Dells, I only responded to another post by someone else mentioning a Dell. I'm not going to apologise for that.

I will apologise to Rann though because I may have tossed him and RichieV is the same boat and that isn't really fair, but some of the arguments were still not very solid regardless.

Anyway, fuck it. I couldn't care less what people use, I just can't stand Apple fanbois who will never admit when something is better regardless of the facts.

Yeah, I think RANN's arguments were horrible, but I don't think he has an apple up his arse.


Its far too tight for that
