Apple Computer

[quote=AN]ER, funny that you said the mac is faster, yet you also said it’s more expensive. For comparable priced PC, pc will more likely be faster. I used mac for work and pc for home and my mac crashes more than my pc.[/quote]

No doubt AN that Macs are more expensive but I find the cost well worth it. Again, I was one of those guys for years that thought Mac people were nuts and it would be too difficult to switch over. I really wish I would have switched sooner.

When I was a PC guy…I’d get top of the line laptops with high end configurations. My last Sony Laptop I think I spent $4,500 on. And it crashed all the time. I’ll simply never go back to a PC again.

A decked out Macbook Pro 15′ is about as good as it gets for me. I travel quite a bit as well (over 100+ days a year) and the Mac is so durable, lightweight and battery life is amazing.

Heading into the future I wouldn’t be surprised if Mac someday has more users than PC. Apple is becoming a powerhouse.

I’ve been using Mac for the last 4 years for work. However, the 1st 3 years, I was running Windows XP on it. While in the last year, I finally have to use the Mac OSX on the new Macbook Pro 15″. All I can say is, I have more crashes using OSX in the last year than using Windows XP in the previous 3 years. I do agree that Mac hardware (industrial design) is top notch. But the software itself is sub-par compare to Windows 7. I’m able to run Windows 7 on my 10 years old Thinkpad and it runs smoothly enough to browse the web and basic document editing.

I’m a life long Thinkpad supporter. After having a Thinkpad through out college, tossing it around, not using a dedicated laptop bag, yet it’s still working to this day. Same with another Thinkpad I bought 10 years ago. The hard drive finally died after 10 years. I will never switch to another brand. After using Mac OSX for the last year, I know I will never pay to buy a Mac with my own money.

I’ve been able to break out of the mac versus PC debates….I primarily use linux now, specifically ubuntu….

Gets me with almost 80% of my day to day.

Both apple and microsoft are evil

I’ve been rooting for Linux for a long time. For the last 6-7 years, I’ve been trying Linux various distributions. I got close to dropping Windows last year with Ubuntu, but I end up having to go back, due to a few apps & games that I need and Linux doesn’t have. Maybe in a couple years, I can completely cut the cord. But as of right now, Linux is close but not quite there.
