Nothing that concerns my interests, but...

[beehdaubs]

I really don't care much about pc/mac/computer/whatever gaming, I am purely a console gamer.
I use my mac for school, internet, music, movies, photos. Awesome for movies xD
FYI I bought my macbook off of craigslist for 450 and its a 08 model and works like brand new.
Look in the right place and you can find a good priced mac.

This. And no PC can TRULY run like a Mac. The Mac's main purposes are for media and working. It has great graphics and all, but I wouldn't waste my time sitting around playing games when I have a free high-end quality movie making program. Three sets of DVDs waiting to be burned, and a $200 special effects program. The Windows at my school are the newest and supposedly top-of-the-line computers. Yet you can only run two programs on each of them at a time or otherwise it'll freeze. It takes too long to watch or edit movies, and this is not only on these computers, but a couple of my friends as well.

Point being, Windows are mainly used for spreadsheets and gaming. A Mac is mainly used for all kinds of media making. Depending on what you want, movie making or gaming, then that decides which is the best.

I'm going to interject for a moment here. Don't use your school's *censored.2.0*ty computers as an example of what Windows can do. School computers are weak low end machines that are only capable of using Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and Internet Explorer.

yeah they wont have top of the line pcs, really expensive pcs will do what mac will but with different programs which arent as good. my school has many i believe over 300 now decent pcs too, they can run adobe indesign and photoshop but for like movies we use the macs in the video studio and english rooms, which have both final cut and imovie

Same with school/work Macs. I hate it when people are like "Macs don't work. The ones at my school don't work." It's because schools have a policy of shutting every useful thing you can do with them down so they can protect everything like armed guards.

No, Macs are Macs. It's not like there are different models or anything. Windows can run on a variety of computers, including low budget Dell computers for about 200 dollars.

I'm not talking about models. I'm talking about how schools install every bit of antivirus software known to man that filters everything in the Internet connection, making the computers slower than tortoises and then make sure that every program can't be altered in any way shape or form, limiting the capabilities of what you can do with just about anything.

 

[David]

my school doesnt do that, we actually trust each other, no public school would leave 300 computers out in the hall way. theyd be broken and/or stolen so fast. we only have 1 antivirus on each computer and one filter made by the school for the internet,

 

[VantagE]

yeah, 9 times out of 10, computers, mac or pc's, at schools will not work well because of loads of anti-virus/spam/spy/whatever software. Which is why I hate most of those "anti" because it slows down the computers so damn much and its frustrating. Mac has its own built in software to protect the computer from viruses and such very well and I have never even found any viruses or bugs in it. Another thing I hate pc gaming is a lot of games you buy or download off the web comes with some sort of spyware they force you to install to make the game work. Just more junk to put on the computer to make it slower...

macbooks have enough power to run things fine, ive tried trials on this 1.6ghz windows and i could run them still. a macbook should be just fine. cant wait to get one, i dont care about gaming on it at all though, i have my 360 for that, im getting it for editing purposes, i want final cut so badly

Final Cut is awesome. I have Final Cut Express, but I really want to get Final Cut Studio sometime.

ill be purchasing final cut pro with student loan, along with after effects.

Ew, Adobe product. D:

do you not know what after effects is/ its used in just about every commercial, and used in loads of movies, for example the blowing people up in district 9 was done in after effects

Oh, I know what After Effects is. Yes, it can do some great stuff, and it is widely used, but the same can be said for all of Adobe's bloated, buggy, overpriced software. The only reason why Adobe is still around is because there aren't good alternatives for all of their software, so people still have to depend on them. But they're going down the drain fast now, and hopefully we'll see better alternatives to all of Adobe's products soon.

i wouldnt call after effects buggy at all. its the best special fx program out there, i doubt anyone would try to compete, theres a bunch of companys that make plug ins and sadd ons for after effects too. anyone who competes wont be much competition.

Sorry to bump this.

If a Mac can get Steam, then I honestly think VALVe should pay heed to at least some ideas for porting or updating the console versions of games they have.

The school blocks access to most applications.

I think they should stop being ******** and learn to make games for the PS3

They're porting in all Source games. Oh wait, for consoles? That's almost impossible the memory is too much for the console.

But yeah all Source games are comin' to Mac.

But Valve doesn't have a very large dev team for PS3.

They don't have a Dev team for it period. They hate the PS3 more than they do Macs apparently.
