mac or windows?, choose one Options

[*mipadi*]

Macs are the biggest pile of crap ever, they cant do half the things windows can. even half the software refuses =P

That's the biggest pile of crap ever. There are only a few things that Macs don't do: run the latest games (and if you want to play games, buy a console), and run MS Access. But MS Access is a piece of junk anyway.

I mean, seriously, it's one thing to not like a system, but spreading lies and misconceptions doesn't really help your case a whole lot.

macs are okay though
i was thinking about getting one.

you're the biggest pile of crap ever, and you smell the worst
please, computers will always be better than consoles for gaming and that new mac laptop has the same system specs as my dell which i bought like 2 years ago

i've only used windows, but i've heard that macs are so much better.

[AceShadows]

Windows!

To each his own. I just mean to say that, given the power of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, it's unlikely that one could efficiently build a system that was of comparable power. Both are pretty amazing pieces of computing machinery. I think the power and graphics of the 360 blow away anything a computer can easily produce. And with a console, one doesn't need to worry about constantly upgrading hardware or software to meet the demands of games, or dealing with incompatible device drivers and things of that nature. Consoles just work; computers generally don't.

In general, I don't focus on raw system specs when it comes to computers. Computing is a holistic experience that isn't easily defined using numerical figures. The choice of an operating system comes down to goals and personal taste.

But really, I just meant to say that claims that a Mac can't do anything, or that OS X is poorly written, or suffers from major security issues, isn't really accurate. Choosing an OS based on personal taste and experience is fine, but doing so because of misconceptions—and then spreading those misconceptions, without real knowledge or experience—generally leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Macs are supposed to be good for working with media stuff.
That's what I heard.

Yeah that's what I hear too, plus the high school I went to used all Macs for M.C.A[Media Communications Academy], newspaper, and yearbook.

I've seen the graphics for computer games and consoles. Example: Need For Speed Underground. Played it on Playstation and on computer at my friend's house once. The computer version's graphics were so poor, the game wasn't even any fun. CS graphics aren't that great either.

i've never used a mac or linux so i wouldnt know.

but more software is available for windows, i think?

[*Indiscriminate Soul*]

Windows almost has a monopoly. Most applications and software are made to be compatible with Windows. It's convenient to use.

then u were playing it on a bad setting. jack up the detail as high as it can go, pray that the system can handle it, and it looks stunning

I've got Windows XP on my computer right now, but when I get my laptop, I'm probably going to be getting an iPad so it'll be a macintosh. I generally prefer macs to windows because, to me, they're easier to manipulate and have better programs available for them. also because it makes more sense to me with all the art programs that I use on a regular basis. I've used them on both formats, but I prefer the mac layout for it.

I wonder if they have a version of linux for laptops... it wouldn't be that hard to put it on one, would it?

WINDOWS OWNS!!! macs are sooooo slow!
