    i hate to ask, but why do MACs perform smoother than PCs?

    I've been a PC user for the longest time (prior to my beloved Amiga).

    Got a Macbook laptop for my wife's bday recently - and I love how when you open/close the lid, the machine turns on/off almost instantly (no warm-up like a PC).

    What's the secret? does the instant on/off experience apply to mac machines running WinXP? (i know, i know)

    Helmy...the answer as to why Mac's run better than PC's...is because it's a MAC! ;)

      It's the OS, not the Computer. You can take any Computer, put mac osx on it, and it will turn on and off in a flash. IE: Dell Mini with bt, mac os, sat card and voip - you have a cell phone that turns on and off in seconds.

      At the Machine level - for the Price a normal computer is twice the speed. You just don't get all the toys from the go that a Mac offers, so in the end you either pay more for the PC or get less toys, like video editing software.

          For us Macs are way more productive and crash far less. They can be just as slow to open as a PC it all depends on what software you instal and what sort of mess you keep your desktop in. I know people who swear their PC never crashes, and those that say they crash daily.

          I use Photoshop and open huge layered files of 2 + gigs with no issues, but i have installed a minimum of 8 gigs RAM on most of our office Macs with more than 4 TB storage for each. If you use Photoshop or studio Pro and keep up to date with the current versions you will have little if any problems. Other software i cannot comment on

            Because Apple controls the whole hardware/software stack, and can thus plan accordingly.

            It's the same reason console games (xbox, ps3, etc.) run "flawlessly" compared to PC games. The developers only need to code for one configuration, vs. literally hundreds of millions of different possible hardware configs.

            Something like sleep sounds easy, but in practice has been implemented in so many different ways depending on the individual manufacturer it becomes quite complex. Since Apple knows what hardware they need to support beforehand, they can simply code to those specs vs. trying to support 300 random buggy implementations of the same thing.

            There are lots of "advanced" features modern PC's support these days, that most OS's simply don't even try to take full advantage of yet.

                it's only relatively recently (10.2 I think) that wake from sleep has been like this.

                Wait till your macbook has been on sleep on battery power for too long, runs out of battery juice while in sleep and left in that state for a week (or a month etc etc). Then open the lid when it's plugged into the power outlet....

                Back to exactly where you left it in still less time than it takes a PC to wake from sleep.

                That is a feature I'd be a dead duck without! Running out of battery is a simple annoyance, not a hair-pulling deathly loss-of-data experience. The way it should be.

                  Desktop clutter and machine speed is a Windows-phenomenon. A Mac couldn't care less how many GB of files clutter the desktop. Only Windows assigns that shit to RAM

                            48k ram ..lol

                            apple nailed it right the first time... still using PC mainly for biz but this black macbook sitting on my desk sure blows it away.. to answer as others have, the OS was written very well.
