macs suck., pcs rule. Options

[sadolakced acid]

well, really, it's just a friendly mac v pc thread, and i know it's been posted before, but really, more people will click here if i name it 'macs suck'

my beef with macs-

i used mac OS way back when. bad experiences. not too much a legitimate reason today, but a reason none the less.

but the major one:

proprietary.

i don't know about now, but i know before that everything apple makes, they make it proprietary if they can.

for example, a PC owner can easily upgrade thier optical drive. they could pop in some more memory, or add in a new sound card.

now, sure, mac hardware may be good already, but you won't deny it's not the best, that would be much too expensive.

and as time goes by, it means the only way to upgrade is with a totally new computer.

i mean, sure, it works fine for people who don't want to be bothered to upgrade thier computers, and for the average user, macs are probably pretty good.

but i can't be hassled to buy a new comptuer if i want a CD burner and don't have one.

now, maybe apple has changed and i'm not up with the times. but irregardlessly, i severly dislike and avoid any company that insists on proprietary measures at any time.

which is why i do, and probably always will, hate apple.

^ this is how Apple makes its money. They come out with newer, faster products that have more bells and whistles than before and they make them only accessible if you buy them completely.

Which is why I'm leary of buying an iPod. I want to wait until they've expended every possible upgrade. I want my iPod to be a phone, hold 200,000,000 songs, have GPS, make my morning coffee, and drive me to work.

Wow, in that case, you're never gonna get an iPod. They don't add ANY new features to the iPod, let alone any feature you can add on in less then 5 minutes. Cough Radio Cough. Cough DIVX Cough. You get the point.

Also, with those commericals. After seeing that, I felt obligated to make my own commercials, except with LINUX. And show my LINUX can kick any mac or Pc's ass any day.

With the sales of their computers. I have met, way too many people, that bought a mac, because "It was pretty." If that is one of the key factors why that this company is alive, then Jobs might as well as go shoothimself.

all i know macs are better.
macs freeze less
are faster
and get less viruses.

I have both and my PC can't handle a lot of stuff

Can a MAC run F.E.A.R at full speed with all the graphic options on and set to maximum? Can a Mac run F.E.A.R at all?

I even just saw a thread where one guy called another a fag for playing Counter-Strike Source, and another guy called him a fag for playing CS 1.6 instead of 1.5.

Wow, I wonder who that was.... < < <-----

I don't mean to argue all the time, but there are a lot of inaccurate "facts" posted about Apple and the Macintosh.

Thats true, but replace the words Apple and Mac with anything else, and wouldn't it apply to everything?

Also, I problem I have with Apple and Steve Jobs, is that him and alot of other Mac/Apple fanboys/users think that they are bigger/greater then they actually are. They got cocky, over nothing, and boast stupid facts. I know this sounds like what you were talking about eariler, with people making smark and jackass comments when you said you used a Mac. But I have noticed this within that group of people. Ofcourse, alot of those people are idiot 12-16 year olds that go, "OMGIPODLOLZORS!THEBEST!!!!!111111ChEcKoUt MyPicTurEsonmysPACE!!LOLOMGLMAOROLFTTYLTYYAOSBDSIUBDISFGFSSHUTTHEFUCKUP!!!LOLZORS!
And thats just them talking in real life, you should see them online. Makes me want to get my shotgun and...

Macs -

1) can't run any games worth playing
2) come with crap monitors that i dont think can be replaced (can someone say 75 Hz? uh duhrrr)
3) nice specs, my dimension dell from 2004 has better
4) one mouse button? nice man
5) uh...one drive? gg where do i put my floppys

PCs -

1) 3 drives, this is obviously bad
2) user upgradeable, open the case, replace ur crap integrated gpu with a nice nvidia
3) use whatever monitor you want, especially that nice new LCD designed for gaming =D
4) you can play counter-strike isn't that what matters?
5) kekekek even DELL gives you a better mouse
6) the keyboards are better (dont ask me why, the mac keyboard feels weird)

so as you can see, if you use a mac, you are obviously cool~

/sarcasm

so then i was like kekekeke

oh and btw, whoever said "i just saw someone call someone a fag for playing CS:S and then someone else call that person a fag for playing 1.6 instead of 1.5"

welll.....

YOU CAN'T PLAY 1.5 ANYMORE LOL UR BAD
