I Was About To Get A Macintosh...

[DarkRedFlame]

Well, yeah, I was about to get a Macintosh until I heard, they don't support AMD processors. Yep, they don't accept AMD processors, the processor family I've been using all my life. although if you can persuade me to get a mac, i'll think about it.

[Wooblers]

Ruin your credentials,reputation,AND posts by getting a mac.

[yogertman]

it depends what you want to use your mac for.
macs are better with art programs (photoshop flash shit like that)
the screen also looks real good if you buy an expensive comp (hd porn :)

[LOLZILLA]

Mac's will cook you breakfast in bed.

1) No Viruses
2) Flash and Photoshop
3) It looks awesome
4) Boots in 24 seconds
5) Uses Intel(fast) processors
6) Is awesome for graphics
7)Comes with no crap, like Windows does
8) Have rock-solid tech support
9) Are the top in reliability
10)Have really long uptimes
11)Have a superior OS- Mac OS X 10.4.9(Tiger)

Plus, games don't work, which is awesome!(Games are a waste of time and money)
Has this long and carefully compiled list convinced you yet?
Below is a screenshot of my Linux desktop modded to look like OS X.

Exactly!

[Deadly-Shadow]

I find Macs to be great computers, they're much better than PC's. The only reason not to get a Mac is if you are a hard core PC gamer, if you arn't, then go for a Mac.

Not true.

Cool. PC's can use them too.

3) It looks awesome

Awesome, because that matters.

4) Boots in 24 seconds

Whoo!

5) Uses Intel(fast) processors

Cool, so do I on my PC.

6) Is awesome for graphics

What?

7)Comes with no crap, like Windows does

No, Windows comes with nothing, PC makers (HP, Dell, etc) put that on their systems.

8) Have rock-solid tech support

False

9) Are the top in reliability

Not true.

...

What?

In what way, exactly?

The only reason not to get a Mac is if you are a hard core PC gamer, if you arn't, then go for a Mac.

Or if you don't want to spend $3,000 for a computer when you could get a comparably equipped PC for half that.

[Sammeh]

Depends what you want in your computer.

Want games?: PC

Want art?: Mac

Want business?: Linux

Confused?: Bootcamp - Run Windows on a Mac

[SwampLord9]

I heard audio editing and video is good. Other than that, nobody uses it and it sucks. Its ok, but stick to windows and get Mac mods if you really want to

Games: It's called Windows, fucktard, not "PC."
Art: Linux
Business: Linux

[greensucksbluerules]

Don't make the same mistake I did...

[The-Donkey]

See what you've done?

Now everyone is saying one is better than the other, because you couldn't get off your ass and do the research.

Agreed

[MortifiedPenguins]

If you want something more affordable, where your not techno married to Apple and only able to use it's products.

Get a Mac.

Time to disprove it.

1) No Viruses

Because they are 2-5% of the comps used, nobody cares about that.

2) Flash and Photoshop

PC/Windows has it. You just have to order it.

3) It looks awesome

So? You can make anything look awesome.

4) Boots in 24 seconds

Some PC's can do that, and some Linux comps. I think my comps boots up in 10-30 seconds.

5) Uses Intel(fast) processors

PC's have that as well.

6) Is awesome for graphics

What do you mean? By graphics card, so does most PC's.

7)Comes with no crap, like Windows does

Blame HP, or Dell. Not MS.

8) Have rock-solid tech support

What about the other companies?

9) Are the top in reliability

Where is the proof.

10)Have really long uptimes

What?

11)Have a superior OS- Mac OS X 10.4.9(Tiger)

Opinion.

Plus, games don't work, which is awesome!(Games are a waste of time and money)

NG loves to play games, so thats a huge downside.

Has this long and carefully compiled list convinced you yet?

No.

PC's/Windows: Gaming, can get raped by viruses, so get an antivirus software m'kay?
Macs: Can use Photoshop and flash well, comes free, you have to pay for iTunes.
Linux: Useful
Confusion: Macs running Windows(PICK XP, NOT VISTA).

No. Its just trash. It would convince me not 2 buy 1.
