PC or MAC?

[Maglor]

Which do you prefer? Explain.

Is the price difference for similar specs worth it?



The reason I ask is that I have been having more and more problems with my PC to the point that as of this week it looks like it is going to be near impossible to get online and visit the freaks board!!!

Something needs to be done. I had been planning on backing up all my files and wiping the HD, then reload all the programs and operating system, but now I am leaning toward buying new.

Any thoughts?

In before the lock. I have casted my vote, now prepare for destruction.

depends in your interests.

if you're into art/music, definitely get a mac.

if you're into the internet/games definitely pc.

PC vs Mac threads always end up bad.

~~And referring to Apple computers you only capitalize the M. MAC is Media Access Control iirc.

I've never been a big computer geek, so I've always liked the ease of use of the Mac. It's been more intuitive for me and I've never had any problems. When I used to strictly be a PC user it seemed like I was always running into problems.

This thread could be informative. It'd be nice not to have it turn into one group bashing the other.

I got a MacBook Pro in December. You couldn't pay me to go back to PC.

I'm a PC. I use a Mac at work and just find it more troublesome for simple tasks like trying to save items to a certain folder, etc. I'm always having trouble opening up Microsoft office files - have to keep downloading updates so I can properly convert them. The MacBook has this annoying feature where if you slide your fingers on the pad it will either zoom in or out on whatever you are viewing. Very frustrating since I use the pad to scroll down and then end up zooming stuff. It's a feature that I have yet been able to disable.

If you are just using it mostly for email/internet and office stuff, I say PC all the way...plus they are less expensive. And for all those people who say PC's get viruses - I've had my laptop for 7 years and haven't gotten one yet. *knock on wood* and I have had no problems - though it's time for me to upgrade and get a new one. My boss's Power Book G4 on the other hand has had to have the hard drive replaced 3 times in 5 years.

Don't you have video games to play?

I will tell you this. I have been a PC user for years. Went through tons. I bought my first iMac early last year. It works just like it did the first day I opened the package. No virus scans, no spyware searches, no defragging, nothing. I use it every day and it just WORKS. What else needs to be said? Plus it's a simple setup. See picture. This is it man! One cord hooked up to a wifi connection that is hidden. Can't beat that.

That happened to me all the sudden, photo whores want money now. Its like those people at restaurants who take your picture and then ask for $30.

MAC!

It's time and beauty vs. money....


Then I go with time and beauty over money. Spend more but get peace of mind that things work easier, it's more effortless, and less chances of a break down happening with a Mac.

My time is worth more to me than saving some $$$ towards the end, and that's an IF for saving money in the end.

I read that 3 times, as slowly as I could, and I still can't figure out the last sentence.
