proud new owner of a macbook

[//RUN.exe]

Oh lawd, can't people just be happy with whatever computer they have?

no, it's called buyer's remorse

Oh lawd, can't people just be happy with whatever computer they have?

Obviously not. This is TBT afterall.

Oh lawd, can't people just be happy with whatever computer they have?

They can. They just can't be happy with other peoples' opinions about a different OS.

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.

OSX does not run well at all on PC, i know a guy that tried it out on a really good laptop, half the basic apps didnt even work due to the wrong video card. and why would you want a half assed OSX anyways? its not even legal.

PC=General Computer
Mac=Creative Computer

if it's so creative then why is there no customization in the OS itself.

Whoever told you that is wrong.

I don't see what there isn't to customise tbh.

Maybe the look of it? Maybe some people don't like the glossy look of the OS.

I wouldnt want a windows computer, theyre so unreliable and the customer service sucks so much.

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.

if it's unreliable, learn to fix it.

if you don't like the customer support, use google/the internet, instead of crying for the apple "genius" to do it for you/tell you how.

you can do plenty of "creative" things on a windows computer using plenty of programs that don't suck. you just have to find them yourself, instead of having them dropped into your lap.

would be nice to describe all of those programs, btw. ichat = pidgin, trillian, or any other all-in-one chat, I'm going to assume.
I use itunes, solely for the ipod syncing. otherwise, I'd be using winamp. hella better.
I think garage band is pretty much recording your own playing, for song purposes, yes? you could buy things for windows if you needed to do that. you gonna start a band anytime soon, bro? :3
imo, you're paying for stuff that, while nice to have, you aren't getting the full use out of. but whatever, I guess. nice to have.

that an operating system is fun is an opinion. and opinions have no place in a srs bzns debate/argument. lern2/grade school.
it might be more appealing to some, because they find it more fun/easier to use, but to others, windows is just as fun. I *censored.3.0*ing love finding new things that I can do with my computer, instead of just being amazed that it responds the second that I tell it to do labor-intensive programs. patience is a virtue, or some *censored.2.0* like that.

tl;dr, SHUT UP SEAN (by which i mean david. not aimed a gnome in any way. lol memes.)

bacon boy, the word your'e thinking of is partitioning. I'm hoping you can do the same thing with your mac. you can partition things in order to keep it from taking up too much space. for instance, I partitioned my second hard drive, so that approximately half of it goes towards itunes/music storage, while the other half is usable. it's just a way to keep your stuff from bleeding over. also, to install another OS on the same hard drive. you could always buy a fresh/blank hard drive and install it yourself, if you wanted to do what your friend did.

also, I didn't/don't want a mac. I'm simply defending PCs, due to them being supreme hammer legion rulers of all of the internet-dom. I also find it hilarious no linux junkies have popped up to lay the smack down on all of us.

@ david
>I know a guy.

OGAWD.

the whole point of the argument is that the specs of a mac are lower than that of a PC, except for the ludicrous price. the OS makes less work better, but if it had more to work with, it could be so much more.

good god, macfags.

You can install custom docks, change all the icons and I think you can even the look of the toolbar and windows.

Maybe we should all be a big happy family.

Make an effort guys.

don't say I think, until you know. And herp derp changing icons isn't really that much same with custom docks.

Oh grow up, this is hardly us hating each other. It's called a debate.

sure is flame in here

 

[Numner]

What I like is better than what you like, therefore I am superior; here, let me explain it to you with this piss off rant.

Pc users done understand how it's not te hardware that makes the Mac faster. Even if you get a higher end pc the Mac will still out do it . Psycho, your ignorant, seeing as you've noever rely used a Mac, you can't have an opinion on which is better. I've used both, and hands down the Mac is better, it's more fun to use, it's faster, and it's exclusive programs destroy windows' never ever going back to windows.

lol, i'm ignorant now.

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 wouldnt want a windows computer, theyre so unreliable and the customer service sucks so much.

What customer service sucks? Microsoft or the hundreds of other companies that make computers with Windows on it?

I said I think because I didn't know X_x

Well what more can you do on Windows? You can change the taskbar on windows.. that's the same as the dock on a Mac.

As for the windows and toolbar, just googled it and yes, you can.

this.

also, internet/google = the greatest customer support the world will ever know.

Unreliable? Don't be stupid with it, and you won't have that problem.

And how the bloody hell does Microsoft's customer service suck?
Does Apple send people to your house to personally fix the problem?

At least Microsoft doesn't charge $30 for every issue you have.

You do realize that mac services are usually free. I had a corrupted file due to an error in uninstallation and I took it down to the Mac store. The guy worked on it for two hours fixing and going through fixing all of the other problems made by the geek squad as well, and it was free, as are most services.

Yeah, it was some issue with what I deleted.

Every issue I've had with Apple products cost me money to fix. :|
I blame karma.

And that is why my iPod is still dysfunctional.
