Try watching "Why Mac Sucks" on youtube.
Wait...I have more in me.

So you are going to base your conclusion on a biased comedy video? That's pretty stupid.

Obviously there a lot of misinformed opinions about the Mac being thrown around here, so I'll just say this.

I own a Mac, and I will always own a Mac.

It is worth the extra money to me, and I think Apple programers are geniuses.

Every friend I have is a non-stuck up PC user who have used PCs their entire life, and they ALL wish they had a Mac.

The way I see it, any reasonably intelligent person who doesn't have a vendetta against Macs will see that they are a better, smarter computer.

I don't care if some people on here think Macs are worse, because I know that some people are right and some people are wrong.

Not everything is an opinion.

I'm fine if you use a PC, but anybody who says that Macs suck have clearly never operated one or had a dislike of them in the first place.

Perhaps it's because people have been so used to using Windows all their lives that they just don't want to find time to adjust to a new computer system. So they bash Apple fans when the opportunity presents itself.

my high school is just filled with mac computers, and they all crash daily... i mean in my intro to word class they have already removed 5 this year because they all pretty much broke. and then another 10 from the library. they seem to be a waste of money.

Obviously they were an old operating system or the computers were bought second-hand. Schools are cheap.

At my old job they had seven Macs, in four years none of them crashed. There were also 5 Windows computers, in four years none of them crashed. They did not have stupid people using them and all the computers were reliable. Does that count?

Why do Mac users have an inability to shut the fuck up about their pseudo-computers?
Do you know what irony is?

Yes, I do. Who started the topic, a Mac user or Windows user? I'm simply retaliating.

All Macs don't have is a good game lineup, which is offset by the fact that Macs can run PC games nowadays.
Yeah, if you dual boot Windows onto it, or if you play Blizzard games.
You just repeated what he said. You may also want to check this out

K.

Macs-
2-button mouses
Holy shit, that's so cool.
You'd be surprised how many people still don't know.

...Yeah, it's amazing.

A similar or possibly greater speed
Yeah, but there's no need for speed on a Mac, all you can do with it is draw.
That doesn't even deserve a comment.

Yes it does.

Easy to use
I beg to differ -- Windows were smart by creating "Explorer" so you can EXPLORE instead of having to jump through 50 different interface options to find something.
Ever heard of Spotlight? No. I didn't think so.

Actually, I have. It sucks.

Great interface
Face it, I think we all know the interface is shit. Vista owns your UI.
That doesn't make sence. The Vista UI is heavily based on the OSX UI. You've never even seen the Mac OSX interface have you?

I have, often actually. I don't see the slightest similarity in the crappy Mac UI and the sleek Vista UI.

Option to use Safari
Guess what I can open? Porn without Quicktime.
On a Mac you can watch porn (or anything for that matter) without having to open any programs.

That's amazing. I can watch in my browser with a media player that doesn't suck.


CAN RUN WINDOWS
How scary, so Macs are only good because they can run a good OS.
I find your ignorance more scary.

I understand.

Get viruses/crash less often...
True, but that's because no one bothers to make viruses for them, it's too boring to infect your painting files.
At least we partially agree on something.

Oh, good.

Really, Macs cost more, but since they can run Windows, you are basically paying $200 dollars more for two completely different computers.
I'd rather save $200 and buy a real computer.
So by your logic a real computer can only run Windows whilst a 'psuedo-computer' can run both Windows and OSX? That doesn't make sense.

No. I think Linux is good as well, but Mac is just retarded. It makes a lot of sense, actually.

Macs can do everything a PC can and more, and if you aren't going to get a Mac, at least stop acting as though it sucks.
It does suck. It can't do everything a PC can do, and the only thing 'more' that it can do is help you loose weight by spewing out a bunch of bullshit about it.
You don't need to have a mac to loose weight by spewing a bunch of bullshit about them, you're living proof.

You're an idiot, I don't start topics saying how good Windows is, I retaliate to Mac fan boys bitching about how cool they are.

I'm gunna go play a PC game, see you later, enjoy drawing and using Quicktime.
Enjoy ignorance.

Thanks, I will!

For the record I own both a PC and a Mac and I have no bias either way. Ignorance just happens to piss me off.

You have a penis.

I hate the white and bulkiness of the mac. I love the Black and sleek design of the Windows.

Everyone knows the mac commercial music cause it sounds like a elevator, smart one.

Why do Windows users seem to naturally hate Macs?

All Macs don't have is a good game lineup, which is offset by the fact that Macs can run PC games nowadays.

Macs-

2-button mouses

PC can have 3, or more

A similar or possibly greater speed

nowhere near as good as a pentium4 quad core

Easy to use

to easy, hard to mod and very expensive

Great interface

for mac stuff, yes

Option to use Safari

but Firefox is better

CAN RUN WINDOWS

but not well, when running games, the mack lacks the hardware to run them well, or even in some cases at all

Get viruses/crash less often...

not necessarily, i have a PC, and it has never got a virus or crashed. why? because i know how to use it properly, and protect it

The list goes on.

no it doesn't

Really, Macs cost more, but since they can run Windows, you are basically paying $200 dollars more for two completely different computers.

MUCH MUCH more than $200

Macs can do everything a PC can and more, and if you aren't going to get a Mac, at least stop acting as though it sucks.

no, the graphics and processing hardware is not quite as good.

it all comes down to this:

macs and PCs are both good computers, they just work well for different things
if you are considering getting a computer, get the one that works best for what you plan to youse it for. neither one is inherently better, it is all a mater of perspective.

I don't think Macs suck. I just feel that they are too expensive for me. I'm not willing to dish out that much money for a computer. I have used a Mac before though, and it was really nice to use.

Haha, but then we could easily say that all PC users are fucking assholes who constantly bitch about how shit Macs are and never shut the fuck up. Generalizing is lame.

Personally, I don't give a shit. It's a fucking computer. I use a Mac but I'd happily use a PC if one was readily available to me.

HAH! We have an 8-Core computer. Beat that!

besides, Macs run Windows just as good as a dell. Windows is just a program, a Mac is a computer.

Wanna know something funny? I got a 500 PC. It's a laptop. It's the same price as a Mac mini. But I got a screen, keyboard, mousepad with it + portability. So in a way, the price is a obstacle.

For me, I love Macs. They're sexy, like Vista and the PS3. They're good for the things I want to use (Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver). And they make me look like a kewl guy. And they don't use that much wires etc. Plus, how I handle computers, it would be better. Being a teenager.

But also, being a teenager, I don't have any fucking money. I saved up for this laptop, and am happy.

I think that Mac uses alot of users because of their price. Well, they loose guys like me. I don't know about the guys who know shit about computers. My uncle bought practicly the same laptop for 1400. Just somewhere else, and a different brand.

Dunno. This shit is ridiculous. Same with interenet companies, they keep overwelming people with their promotions, untill they just go corrupt and broke.

All I know is, I want a Mac, but can't afford one, so I'm happy with my Laptop (PC).

I have a Mac because my parents bought the Mac, so that's what I use.
Personally, I want an Alienware Laptop, but those cost several thousands of dollars that I don't have.
I think it's a good idea to get a Mac, and then buy the PC software.

So where's this guy shopping? Why would Apple be charging you $300 more for a computer that has half the memory, slower memory, half the CPU cores, and a video card that's nearly half as good?

In that assumption you would be wrong. The longevity of a Mac computer is, on average five years. The longevity of the average PC is approximately 2.5 years, or half that of the Mac.

Where on earth do you get that figure? You say people don't have logical arguments and then you put out this crap?

Also, while I'm here, I'd like to know why they charge you an ASTOUNDING $500 for an extra 2gb of ram. This is the biggest ripoff I've ever seen and It's coming right off the Apple site. You can get 8gb of FASTER ram for this price.

Also, what's with the incredible $600 ripoff for a 20" Apple Cinema display? Surely it's a really good monitor.

Wait, 700:1 contrast ratio? 14 ms response time? Might as well go with a a monitor that's equal or better in every specification while costing nearly a third the price. Yeah. Apple rips you off in monitors too.
