Apple Computer

[quote=LA Reader]My GF’s got a brand new iMac and that things gives us more trouble than my cheap Dell Laptop. It freezes all the time..[/quote]

Take it to the Apple store and if they can’t fix it, they will replace it – another benefit of owning a Mac. You can’t do that with a machine you make from parts off newegg.

[quote=largemammal]I’m an Apple fan. I own an iPhone and stock in the company. But I won’t buy their computers. Why?

Read the specs. In particular, look at:
Processor type & speed
Bus speed
RAM
HD capacity

Then go to a site like Newegg and build a PC with the same specs. You’ll save at least $500 compared with an equivalent Mac.

Be aware a Unix machine which the Apple is, is way more
effficient in memory use, which doubles systems performance

look at Linpack benchmarks.

Apple products? I never used them previously…but in the last six months I got my chance with an odd work assignment. Bosses told me to go buy about $10,000 of Apple products (Mac Air, iPhone, iPods, iTouch…) and use them then take them apart and write up reports on design and assembly.

So after playing with them for a couple weekends I have to admit, Apple makes some pretty cool products.

The worst part of the assignment was my having to disassemble (destroy) $10K of all those BRAND NEW great toys from Apple. My wife also fell in love with them also so was sad to see them later as a bag of dissassembled parts.

I’m hooked on iTunes now. That is really cool software. But I’m using it on my Dell windows laptop, so I’m wishing for an iPHone or iTouch.

Now would I use a Mac laptop for work?

Sure if I did graphics design for a living. I don’t.

I run CPU-intensive engineering software. I have a dual-CPU Dell laptop that is way faster than any laptop Apple offers.

I won’t buy Apple. I do a ton of video and gif editing, and all of the free software in windows is just too tempting. I also like to save movies in compressed avi format so I can stream them to my modded Xbox in the living room (no digital here). That requires a bunch of software that I am not sure is available on the mac.

I am just too cheap to buy a Mac but I have heard really good things about Ubuntu.

Also I won an Ipod nano at some industry event and I hated the damn thing because I hate iTunes. I just want to drag and drop my damn mp3 files. So I gave the nano to my son. He of course doesn’t mind itunes and uses the hell out of that thing.
