>not the hardware that makes it fasterDavid said:
jesus christ are you ********? And I've used a mac before, in fact I had to for 3 years before I got a PC, PC is more fun to use, with at least 3 times the customization, it's not faster my Windows is, and there really aren't that much exclusive programs that there isn't an exact replica/ better version of the said software.

lol, i'm ignorant now.David said:
I said if I needed to use video editing things, I would use a mac, but since I have no need for them, there is no point.
the argument being made is that the parts inside of a mac make it an overpriced computer. if you were to install the OS into a computer that you made with better parts (while being at the same price) it would obviously run better, since it would be running the same software, but have better hardware.
ex: if your mac had the PC's specs, which are much better at the same price, and still ran the mac os, it would run equally better.
you needed a mac for the final cut pro. you would have saved a chunk of money buying the windows computer, but instead, you are forced to use the mac-exclusive program.
what other programs are mac exclusive and "destroy windows' "?
also, lol @ it's more fun to use being the reason it's better.
I think Mac users, including myself, get annoyed when people compare the pure hardware of a PC vs a Mac and say that Macs are such rip offs because you get *censored.2.0* hardware for what you pay.AndyB said:
Well is your PC made out of metal? My Macbook Pro's body is made out of 1 sheet of metal, moulded into shape. This means it's extra durable for one, compared to the flimsy plastic that 99% of Windows laptops are made out of.
Second of all, the touchpad and keyboard, the touchpad is multi-touch, made out of glass and fully programmable. The keyboard has a backlit and it has a chiclet key design, making it easier to type.
Third of all, the screen is *censored.3.0*ing amazing. I have NEVER seen such a good screen on a PC.
Fourth of all, the in-built camera and microphone are FARRR better than any PC has.
Fifth of all, Macs don't need super high hardware specs, they can movie editing software, photoshop, etc. far better than a *censored.2.0*ton of PCs purely because of the operating system.
Sixth of all, the operating system is amazing for general use. For one the quick view, by the tap of a space bar you can get any document or picture open within a second rather than waiting for it to load through Windows Picture Viewer (or whatever the *censored.3.0* it's called) or any other software. Not only that but then you have Spaces and Expose to make your life that much easier.
I could go on and on, but I think that's enough for you to get the point.
Windows. It allows so much more, and in many ways! I'm able to customize my PC as many times as I change my shoes in a day! And it's easy to use! I'm not a techie at all, but it doesn't take much brains to realize that PCs are snazzy, efficient and not blow all your savings away expensive.
I wouldnt want a windows computer, theyre so unreliable and the customer service sucks so much.Psychonaut said:
and video only? thats not what macs are for. Macs are for people who are into film, art, photography, graphic design, music, and other creative things.
to name a few; soundtrack pro 3, apple colour, compressor, motion, cinema 4d, dvd studio pro, ichat, iphoto, idvd, cinema tools, garage band, and imovie.
and how is an operating system being more fun and easy to use not make it better? I own windows 7, and i hate that piece of *censored.2.0*, its boring and always has the not responding *censored.2.0* happening, and other errors are frequent as well.
well said, also on the screen comment, i got the new anti glare one. :3 its really nice.Jas0n said:

itt: people missing the point that mac computers are overpriced for the parts inside, whether or not the OS is better.
the laptop i used to use served me just fine, I didn't break the plastic case using it, and I had no problems without the backlit keyboard, and I used a usb mouse. imagine that.
I've already given the screen's their dues, so that's kinda a moot point if you're talking in my direction. I've only seen one pc display (on the internet, mind you) that's matched an iMac's display quality, but that's still kinda moot when talking about the machine itself, though a nice display is very appealing.
you can buy your own camera/mic separately. I'm going to assume that you can buy an expensive/fancy microphone/camera and it would put the built-in mic/camera to shame. but I'm just assuming.
I've already said, if you buy a PC at the same price as a mac, and simply install the mac software, it will run better than a mac. the software/os isn't what's being argued about here, it's the sheer quality of the parts inside. if mac used better parts (see: same parts a pc would have at the price of a mac) it would win, hands down, every time. this is not the case.
I prefer windows, thank you. :3
I use google's picasa picture viewing thing, and it comes up fast enough (I doubt I'm going to miss that half of a second of my life in between double clicking and viewing the picture).
as i've already said, I have no use for video editing, but if I did, I would use mac, due to the program being mac exclusive. otherwise, I'm a PCfag.

I don't agree that it would run better than a mac if you installed mac software on a windows. You have to portion your memory, which, in my opinion, is not worth it. I bought the Mac because I wanted a Mac. If I wanted a windows, then why didn't I get a windows? If you wanted a Mac, then why did you get a windows? And staying on the legal side of things, forget hackintosh.
