But yes apple’s are more money, and I agree that sucks. And if you convert to an apple you may haft to sacrifice some programs to go along with it. I just use the regular stuff on mine- so no-big-deal. And have learned to live without. If you are a big gamer, than don’t get a mac, because it is to hard to figure out how to get windows games to work with a mac. But if you are looking for simplicity and understanding along with the added security features- than a mac is probably for you. If you are a computer wiz, well then get whatever-you-want.

And lastly, why so much bickering…. Really- you guys.

Macs are like the consoles of computers, they are unable to upgrade and therefore become outdated the second they are released. The best PC available on the market will always be better than the best mac on the market because of this. Also all the flaws you have stated about the PC are flaws that would be apparent with Mac as well if they had the same open-ended capabilities. The best test would be to buy a computer of the same price immediately upon release and to see which one runs stress testing programs better. I have already done some similar testing where I used a less expensive PC and actually saw it outpace the Mac in many categories.

It seems like your biggest complaint is that because a PC can do more and run a lot of programs that you Mac can’t, that you get the problems that come with it, like viruses, and errors. That if you adjust your settings wrong then your computer will crash? A price I’d gladly pay to be able to adjust them.

Point is, regardless of what you say..

MY $1500 custom computer will eat your $2500 Mac, and look sexier doing it.
Lets do a benchmark

Also, Some of us like to build our own PC’s. How do you build your own Mac? They have utterly failed to make any attempts at designing parts that can be integrated with non-Mac parts. They could be making a lot of money off this because by not doing so, they lose potential customers that don’t like to buy pre-assembled computers. Don’t even start with the prices. Why am I paying and extra 400$ for some gloss?? I don’t even think Macs look that cool. They look like some shiny box that I would rather use as a mirror. I’d much rather have a big full tower with the cathode lighting and some crazy liquid cooling system. Sigh, Macs fail again.

And last but not least we talk about Apple as a whole. Apple has become an evil corporation that sells products based on obnoxious smear tactics that get annoying very quickly. There is that one commercial where Justin Long is a Mac and the PC keeps freezing… Seriously, I can’t remember the last time windows froze on me. I will agree that Vista does not have a friendly interface and is slow but its still strong in terms of security. Not to mention Windows 7 is great. But aside from that, people that had problems with XP were probably downloading a bunch of crap that infected the PC or just being bad users in general. So the conclusion is that if you are not smart enough to operate a computer, buy a Mac. And if you are not a technical person or you enjoy following a crowd of lost sheep, buy a Mac. for those of you that enjoy learning, power, and spending less money for a cooler looking and better running machine, then buy a PC.
