Don't buy a Mac!

I love it when I pop into Starbucks and I'm surrounded by People on PC laptops, Then I wipe out my 17 Macbook pro.

It's amazing the number of times I'll be sitting there working on something and people will ask to see the machine, So I show them a little of what it can do.

If you buy one, then someone else will by one, then someone else and pretty soon, I won't be special anymore... :(

Jace 02-26-2007 07:18 AM
here is something I thought about though

when a pc user buys a pc, do they ever sit back and think, DAMN, wish I could run mac software!

but when a mac user buys a mac, they always run around telling everyone how they can run pc software on it

p.s. I am not a gamer, I am a businessman, so I have no opnion on how good or bad the Mac is for playing games.
"From what I have read"

Listen, stfu with your uninformed opinion. Windows / pc's rule over Mac because people don't want a bullshit os and a novelty computer. - Well ok, 5% of all comp users do, lmao. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sure Mac is simple, but no offense I don't need my computer giving me blowjobs... I just need it to do what I ask it to do without bullshit interference. With my experience Mac has been better.

If you want to play games then get a PC, but I am here to make money and yahoo pool is good enough for the time being. Yes it is more expensive, but you will get an extra 3 months tacked on to your life because you don't have to deal with the bs of XP or the new Vista. But thats my opinion, if you (SantaCruz) can't handle opinions then gfy.
You must just suck at computers if you have had problems.

About every cool feature in Vista is copied from OSX..
Why are there so many skins for XP that tries to copy the look and feel of OSX?
Anyway, it's true that there are much less apps, but untill now i didnt miss any app so far.. there is enough to be able to do all the work i want on my Macbook pro.

I have both PC and Mac.. loving hem both..
I dunno, ask Microsoft, who cares?

The skins thing, that's down the publisher of the skin, I could show you other skins that aren't Mac-ish.

Why would I wanna reply to someone like you? keep calling me a faggot and telling people to STFU all day long. You're sitting safely infront of PC swearing at people on the internet.

Takes a real genius to figure that one out. I don't give a shit what you think about Macs. Lots of people here run their entire business on them and I'm pretty sure some retard like you ain't going to make them think twice about it.

Hey guy if you can't handle some curse words then maybe you need to reconsider yourself as a male and maybe turn to the dark side of the faggots? Look dawg, I couldn't give a shit what a motherfucking MAC fanboy thinks, all I know is that the arguments you MAC tools come up with every time is lame and boring and weak as hell.

I wouldn't care if people were actually non-tools about it, but when you say shit like "you can run Windows on a MAC" etc, etc it's my right to point out the fact that you are a moron with no decent argument and someone who is obviously on a bandwagon with the other mac fags who got sucked into the hype.

Suck my dick. :321GFY

Shit, most of the websites on the net have been designed in Windows for Christs sake. Most schools have Windows computers. The only MAC users I have known are:

* Dickheads who had the hand-me-down from their big brother

* College hipster faggots who saw the glowing Apple on an Macbook on an episode of Six Feet Under and thought it would be cool to own one, and that they would look cool with it around campus.

* Guys that buy one to impress girls -Fuck off, what fucking girl other than a fat geek cunt is gonna be interested in you because of a shitty plastic notebook?

* Hipster business faggots - "oh yeah, check me out in first class with my Mac, I'm so fucking awesome" - no you're not, you're a tool.

* Old people - well it is easier to use, go figure!

* Steve Jobs

Same with the iPod, it's all about the looks pretty much.

For the one who are complaining about the lack of games on Mac, Guys, you want to play? Buy a fucking PS3 :2 cents:

You want a machine that works ? buy a Mac... Most of the programs if not ALL the most important ones are available for Mac (PS, Office suite, FTP, BBedit,etc...) ... Worst Case, you open XP and voila!...

Interesting to see that everyones who are "bashing" Macs NEVER, EVER tried one... I'm not talking about fooling around with one at the Mac store for 5 minutes, I say a real try. ALL the ones who did really tried a Mac so far simply LOVE it...

Once you try Mac, you never go back... :winkwink:

Depends what you want to do. I do some web development, and Macs are a near perfect platform for it. Unix in the background so I can fire up VIM to write all my code, then test it in every single browser available today. You can run IE7, IE6 (or any other windows app), Safari, Opera, Firefox on your mac desktop all at once.

For those times you have to use a windows application for something, you can, using Parallels. For those times you need a unix command prompt and scriptibility, you have it. For those times you need linux open source programs, you can run them on OSX (most of the time).

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh . I wont say that you are right or wrong about your statement, I dont want to be impartial. I used to be the same way thinking MAC sucks donkey dick, windows all the way mentality.

However, I think it would be fair to say that as both platforms are evolving I think that the perception of a macos should evolve as well.....So far, peoples responses in this thread have been that windows vista is not that great.....why not look at alternative options such as the mac.

I am not in the business of getting a computer for "show," I want something that works with a limited amount of problems....because lets get real, every OS will have its problems, but which one performs the best.

You're an idiot.

PS3 for games? Are you serious? PC games rule over consoles any day of the week. That was weak as fuck.

"Interesting to see that everyones who are "bashing" Macs NEVER, EVER tried one... I'm not talking about fooling around with one at the Mac store for 5 minutes, I say a real try.

WTF are you talking about and where did people in here say this for you to come up with this conclusion like it is a fact. All the ones who tried a mac love it? You are just pulling this out of your ass because you have nothing to back this up with, no facts, nothing. You made a very stupid and ignorant argument right there, making shit up.

Can you not do that now that they're using x86 and x64 based processors?

Retarded if they're still trying to lock people into their hardware, which is now the same as everyone else.

Same answer as always for this sort of thing:

Make a list of the work you do or woudl do with your laptop. Consider everything, from updating a site when you are on the road to mail, playing music, programming... whatever it is, make a list WITHOUT CONSIDERING A COMPUTER... just make the list.

Once you have the list, check the Mac notebook you were considering. Click off everything you can do that is on your list. At the bottom, write down the price.

Then do the same with a comparable windows based laptop. click down the list, and put the price.

At the end of the day, the answer should be obvious. If both do the same, take whichever turns you on.

NAh, it's been tried cause people thouhgt at first that it would work since Macs were now using Intel processors over Motorola. Don't forget that Macs procs might be made by Intel, but they are build upon Apple specs...

So even if you try to install OSX on a PC it won't work...

The reason why is not that retarded IMHO' Apple don't wants problems and wants to have an operating system that is perfectly matched for their machines, so this way they are sure that everyting works fines...

If they would "open" the door and let's say release a PC version of their OS, some would install it on some cheap shitty clones or old PC machines just to try it, then say that OSX sucks when it might be the computer itself the problem :2 cents:

I'm a PC user and always have been. I don't care if other people use Macs or PC. But if you get a Mac and something breaks don't ask a PC user to fix it. It seems like Mac users (or the ones I know) are helpless when their systems don't work right. And they falsely think that any PC user can easily fix it.

I've seen some delusional Mac users before but damn. :1orglaugh

They're using woodcrest xeon's on the mac pro, and c2d's on the imac's. They aren't special, they're the exact same thing anyone can buy.

I checked and the only thing locking OSX to their hardware is a security chip on the motherboard. Apple just wants to keep people locked into their overpriced hardware.

But there's a hack for it, so you can in fact run OSX on the pc.
I might actually try it :)

The processors are the same... the difference between mac and regular PC hardware is that it uses EFI, instead of BIOS. EFI is modernized firmware, that isnt actually hack, built on top of hack, built on top of hacks like BIOS is.

Windows does not support EFI. Because of that, no PC's out there support it. I believe part of the reason apple chose it, was to make it more difficult to get OSX running on non-apple machines.

However, you can run Mac OSX on regular PC's if you have the right hardware. Check out the OSX x86 Project: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Mac saves time like crazy. If you are working with media, Mac is your only option. I work with photography on my Mac, using Aperture, Iview and Phase One, I would never reach such results in quality and speed with Windows. This is nothing to argue about, 10 times more control and 20 times faster.

You definately don't know anything about gaming if you think that a PS3 can replace PC gaming.

A PS3 is essential for playing sports, fighting, hack 'n' slash, and rpg games like final fantasy, but when you want to play a first person shooter, real time strategy, or MMORPG, there's no other way to go, but PC !!

lol what a coincidence, I'm testing as we speak ubuntu Linux and will check in a bit Freebsd. I've installed only some basic apps, but overall it's very easy to use and extremely fast. Greatest part is you can see NTFS disks without a problem.

Is it true that default Freebsd installation doesnt come with any GUI? Ubuntu comes with gnome on default installation like most linux flavors i recall from the past like suse.

The PC as unfashionable as it may be to you MAC obsessives runs the majority of programs made today, and pretty much always have. Also I suspect that most of us were raised on Windows, and therefore it is hard to break away from the platform and migrate to an alien-interface that won't run the shit we need and has some problems with other things, like compatibility wise etc. Sure, it looks pretty and all and it works great, but it's the same reason why only 3% or whatever it is uses Linux. BECAUSE THEY SUCK IN THE LONG RUN. Photoshop? Audio? Editing? Fuck out of here, buy a better PC, or upgrade your shit, tools.

I've owned all Windows PC's and have only had a few issues. People that think PC's suck are people that have either:

A.) Had bad luck with their PC's (hey, it happens kids, get over it, products fail or break sometimes, it's life)
B.) Could not figure out their shit, therefore we are infested with Viruses, Malawares, all that garbage that the knowledgeable PC owner protects him/herself from.
C.) Are jumping on some bandwagon or have been hypnotized by weak ads by Apple that show two people acting the parts of PC and MAC, pointing out the weakness of the PC. FUCKING LAME.

Mac OS is simple, no wonder these people love it so much. I use a computer to be engaged by it, I want to do slightly complex things and fast, like most people. I wanna that prog I bought, or whatever I want to be able TO RUN IT.

You argue : "but what about Boot Camp, you can run XP on the Mac Book!" - Uh what's the point? I'll pick up the nicer looking VAIO TX series thanks, I could give a fuck about your shiny plastic MAC, I want compatibility with my notebook!

What about games too? Damn.

There's other shit that's shitty about Apple too, but that's another thread for another time. I just hate the way morons who have been sucked into the hype and novelty aspect of these notebooks/computers and then defend them to the deaf. I know you motherfuckers have used Windows before, it must have been something you or a friend did to make you hate it. My shit runs great, for years, I look after my computers and they reward me by not dying or whatever (also backing up stuff is a great idea).

You look after your laptop/PC and you should be okay people, don't be girls.

VAIO's, etc rock, fuck MacBooks.

Also what the fuck is up with the prices of this junk????
chip.shoulder.here.

ideally i'd use my mac for anything online and my pc for anything i can do offline. i have 2 mac laptops and love them dearly. i'm not going to say i don't think they're sexy, but when it comes down to it my OS never crashes. i don't have to check the task manager 20 times a day to figure out why my processor has slowed to a screeching hault, and i get great video editing, photoshop, graphics and music programs in general. i prefer the mac with UNIX backend to a pc running XP or Vista anyday. :2 cents:

Ok, I'm not here to get bitched at, just to give my personal opinion to the person who originally started this thread. That being said...
I have owned Mac desktops and laptops and pc desktops and laptops. I grew up using both pc and Mac, pc at home and Mac at school. After using Mac for a while at school I suggested we try one at home, and we went ahead and got one. My mom got herself one shortly thereafter. Then we upgraded our pc. Then we both got iBooks. In college I used both a pc laptop and my ibook. So as you can see, I've had plenty of experience with both to be able to form an opinion. I prefer Mac. I will admit, I don't do any programming or gaming, so I can't speak for those types of programs, but for the things that I'm interested in, my Macs work much better. I've never had any real compatibility problems, the only programs that weren't compatible were ones I didn't really need anyway, just fluff. I have Office for Mac, so I have no problems there. The Macs never freeze, but the Safari browser occassionally locks up if there's some kind of media file on the page I open that isn't compatible. No big deal to me. I just fire up IE if I really want to see it. I just think Mac's are more user friendly, which is important to me. Everything seems to be set up in a way that makes things as easy as possible on me. I've got great music, photo editting, and video editting programs. Dreamweaver, Flash, all that good stuff. I don't absolutely hate pc's, I still use them at work and occassionally at home, I just like Mac more. OH and I honestly can't stand having more than one button on the mouse/clickpad :) The bottom line is you need to figure out which one YOU prefer, not which one WE prefer. Everybody's going to have a different opinion and bring different experiences to the table, so it's important that you have some of your own experiences with each before you decide.
