Everyone with a macbook says it's the greatest thing since butt sex. Is there really a difference for the average joe user?

Yes, buying the laptop over the Mac is around 3 times cheaper for the same experience.
-
you will pay extra for a mac book when your getting the same hardware as in a regular pc laptop for less price.
-
No. Not worth the price and no HDMI or Blu Ray means no Apple. Ever.

that's because the only sex they can get is butt sex.
stay a hetero and get a laptop

If you must use the Maxc OS (Snow Leopard) buy a cheap laptop or netbook like a lenovo and get the local geek to put hackintosh on it so you can dual boot win 7 and snow leopard.

Mac haters are hilarious!
I got a 13 MBP for $1200. I FUCKING LOVE IT!
Insane speed, at EVERYTHING. Backlit keyboard is beyond comparison. The trackpad is AMAZING and I get faster with it every day. I am faster with it than you are with a mouse believe that.
The battery fully charges in roughly an hour and lasts roughly 6 hours with heavy use. You can get 8 hours if you keep the screen dim.
The battery charger clips on magnetically, it's amazing. If you want to check battery life, you just press a button on the side.
The screen is awesome.
I installed a fan control and now I can easily see and control the core temperature.
The entire thing is very light and VERY thin when closed.
I never realized how cool it is to have an all aluminum body till I realized how nice it is that the whole thing does not flex one bit. I can put books and shit on it and not worry in the least.
When I download software, I downloads ultra fast and installs literally in seconds. SECONDS!!! I can install and uninstall software literally INSTANTLY.
I have never had a virus nor will I. I do not even run anti-virus software.
You get what you pay for. I cringe whenever I have to work on a pc. I literally hate them.
Only drawback is sometimes it's annoying to find software you want to use, but that's really not a huge drawback. The pro's HEAVILY outweigh the cons. I will never go back.
FWIW, my buddy told me if you are a programmer buy a pc, if you are just a regular computer user buy a Mac and he was 100% right.
I should also mention right now I can sell my 6 month old Mac for nearly what I paid for it. Go buy a pc and you will be LUCKY to get 50% of it's value back in just 6 months, if even that! A year from now I will STILL be able to get at leat 80% of my mac's purchase price, you probably wouldn't be able to get more than 20% for your pc (assuming you bought one).
Like I said, Mac haters are hilarious but truthfully most are blindly following the masses who decry Macs because they cannot afford them or have not used them.
Do yourself a favor, buy or borrow yourself a Mac pro and test it for just 1 week. I guarantee you that you will not regret it.

warning, if a man says these words to you in real life then he is very likely checking out your package, as he is in desperate need of one of his 5 a day fresh protein binges.

X2 LOL, you overpaid for what hardware you got, it is simple, what is inside your macbook could have been had tons cheaper on a laptop with windows 7 which is prob best windows os yet. mac has one click mouse, it is for kids.

I happily paid for a lot more than just the inner workings of this laptop...

Macs do get viruses. More and more, actually.

I am sure apple is fine with that :)

go ahead and pay 2x times more for a apple logo

How and where?
-
if you buy the pc it will most likely become infected with spyware, viruses,popups...etc.
the mac will not and will continue working problem free.

What I can say? You are a moron. "I hate PC, MAC is so much better, yakety yackety yak" So what there is so much better? It is a same hardware than you have in PC or regular laptop, so difference is in the operating system, which is good compared to earlier windows XP, Vista and that shit. With W7 microsoft has worked out their first real operating system since MSDOS, and it is close to MAC's OS, but still not as good as it is. I would buy a MAC with no problems, but try to buy some software in it and you are fucked, because everything cost more that same software for Windows. And If I want, I can play millions of games with windows OS, there is plenty of high quality and free software, you can buy and install hardware updates with no problems, you can build the whole machine from just those components you want, and that you can't do with MAC. If you are just average Joe, who want to use facebook and WWW, you are fine, but if you need more than that, it is a different story.

I am sorry but you have no clue what you are talking about.
Like I said before-buy rent or borrow a macbook pro and use it daily for a week. Spend time getting used to the OS and also the trackpad and keyboard. TRUST ME you will CRINGE at the thought of using anything less (which really is everything).
Before I bought this I had some cheap Toshiba satellite which broke on me, then I bought a nice 750$ Samsung Mac knock off, had an I5 and what have you, and it was cool, it was nice. Having used them I can honestly say the extra dough was WELL worth it. In fact, I would rather use a public computer for free than buy another pc. If I lost my Mac and could not afford another one I still would not spend one single penny on a pc of any kind.
I am done in this thread, you are all free to make your own decisions.
-
ive had multiple comps which have all succumbed to viruses and spyware to the point where they were no longer usable.
i then bought a mac mini for $500..it is as fast as anything ive used, the thing is the size of a couple cd cases, and it has never had any problems whatsoever.
i recommend buying a mac...they absolutely shit on other computers for practical everyday purposes.
-
Both have their pros and cons!
I'm a PC guy all the way. Anyone will tell you Macs are easier to use once you get over the learning curve. But Windows PC's are EXCELLENT machines if you know what you are doing on them!
Although, the best computer guys I know are all using the Mac OSX running on PC (Namely: Dell's) or ones they've built themselves. To each their own.
I vote PC!
-
I don't have a mac.
-
if you are a tech guy/computer nerd then you can get away with having a pc, if you are not then a mac is the way to go.
-

how about a pc with linux system?

That tells a lot about you and how smart you are. You see, there is always a way to protect your system from viruses and shit like that, but if you are complete fucking idiot, you don't use it. You buy a PC, run it without any protection and when it doesn't work anymore because of viruses, YOU BUY A NEW ONE?
Does name "F-secure" ring any bell's in your empty head? McAffee? Eset System security? Norton? There is plenty of antivirus software's which has only one purpose, and it is to keep viruses and spy ware out from your computer. I use Eset, and it is as close to bulletproof as you can get. You can get more safety only by cutting your LAN cable in one inch pieces. You can get one by paying 40$, so it is lot cheaper than buy a new computer ;D
-
I am sorry but you have no clue what you are talking about.
Well, I start with computers as a new hobby in 1987, so I can say I know thing or two about them. I have used several generation of MAC's, MAC books, I Phones and I still prefer PC because it has more value in it.
-
if you are a tech guy/computer nerd then you can get away with having a pc, if you are not then a mac is the way to go.
Well, no. My son was 8 when he build his first computer, my daughter was 11. You don't need any special skills, just brains and screwdriver, and some vision how to choose right components. And with the OS, you install antivirus software, and you are safe. It is so simple, but hey: if this really is too much for your capacity, try to catch some monkey to do it for you ;D

which free anti-virus software do you recommend? I'm currently running avast, avg free and windows defender, do you think that would be ok?

thats why is said "IF YOU ARE A TECHIE/COMPUTER PERSON' you can get away with having a pc. congrats on having your 8 yd old be able to construct and run a flawless pc system...but thats exactly my point, for everyone else, a mac is the better choice. you dont have to do shit..the mac right out of the box will work for you and you dont ever have to install 'anitvirus'crap or DO ANYTHING AT ALL...it just works.

You're an idiot. Seriously, is it that difficult to install a decent anti virus? If you can't do that with a computer how do you function in life? That's an honest question. If you can't install an antivirus program how do you remember to breath?

protecting a pc requires constant vigilance. even then, sometimes it still gets fucked up. with a mac, you dont have to do shit, just turn it on and it just works problem free. maybe you dont mind buying and installing a bunch of crap and always making sure its up to date and working properly just to be pretty sure your comp isnt getting fucked...thats ok. but im not a computer person and i like the fact that i can just push the 'on' button and it always works problem free with nothing else to worry about.

Lulz. I've had my current pc for two years and never had a virus. What kind of questionable content are you viewing that's exposing you to viruses?

nothing really...everyone i know whos had a pc, from older family members who never look at ANYTHING online, to friends, have ALL had comps corrupted and destroyed by viruses and spyware. it simply requires constant up-to-date vigilance and computer know-how to prevent this...thats why i say for people who are not 'computer people' to just save themselves problems and get a mac.
-
I've NEVER had a virus. I have the Laura Lynn brand virus protection.
what the hell kinda scat porn must people look at to get viruses? PS those "hot local singles" are not real and "gaining 3 inches in 3 months" won't ever happen. so don't even click because your life will never be perfect even if "I now have a 10 in dick thanks to ron jeremys pill".

these type of threads usually go on for pages and pages on the interweb forumz when mac fanboys fighting PC fanboys

Hhahhahaha at this thread. I was a long time PC user ...probably had 4 different laptops in the past 6 years. They all start slowing down and get "buggy" after a while. It's b.s.
Sure, you can run anti virus software...etc and do maintenance but why the fuck should I have to?
I switched to a MB Air few months ago and not a single issue. I still like PC but this thing is badass.
I know a few people with older MB Pros and none of them have complaints versus guys who have older dell/hp laptops that are buggy and slow as fuck.
BTW ...all apple store employees are fags!

::)
i'm on a mattress on the floor on a 2006 Dell 1501, and it's going strong. my girl is using the my 2009 Studio.
Both have Ad-ware and Chrome, have had no problems with viruses.
I'll be damn if I pay Apple $2000 for a 17' laptop.

Only sane person in this thread. Get a regular laptop from any decent manufacturer, pop a Linux Mint cd in it, click Install. Fuck Apple and Microsoft, they're both shit.
-
Lulz. I've had my current pc for two years and never had a virus. What kind of questionable content are you viewing that's exposing you to viruses?
bingo, anti virus companies have scared everyone into thinking we all need anti virus software. I have never had a virus in 3 - 4 years and when I did it was downloading questionable material that I knew might have a virus. IMO if you get a virus on PC your an idiot.

When you purchase a Mac you get Apple Store service which means that there is always someone there who will walk you through any computer problem you may have and spend as much time as you need to learn what you've been doing wrong.
I have both and whenever I have a PC problem, I have a hard time finding anyone who can tell me what the hell I've been doing wrong.
ANd Mac offers free classes throughout the day teaching you how to do things right even when it's pretty damn easy to do as soon as you open the box and turn it on.
I neveer had a 'germ' or whatever the hell it's called and when my electrical cord got damaged after the dog chewed it, I took it back to the Apple Store and they simply asked, "How's your dog!?" and handed me a brand new cord in its original container free of charge.
And ditto when my 6 year old battery unexpectantly passed away. (The dog didn't dood i!) All free and they even installed it and cleaned all the cat and dog hair from the interior.
No store of any type offers the service that an Apple store provides. If there is one, I'll gladly buy whatever it is that they are selling.

well they already made 500$ or more profit off you buying their product they overcharge for so they can afford a 10 dollar battery or a 2 dollar power cord.
-
Probably true,Rep, but I did have to have my PC serviced a few times and in each case the fee was way over $100 and I never even got a free pencil from those damn guys.
Owning an Apple is like owning insurance in an earthquake when the big one hits.
Now that I've had both, I'll never buy another PC.
-
Macs never had viruses as the userbase was so small the virus writers couldnt be bothered to make them for it (something like 5% of OS's worldwide are MacOS, now the userbase of macs is growing we are seeing viruses for Macs.Also if you have a pc, run more than 1 antivirus, I run 3-4 AV and Malware scanners, takes up alsmost zero resources and catches everything.
-
I got both at work - I hate the Mac.
As a physical product, Mac is high quality. The material etc.
What people are missing is that Mac is mostly marketing. If I install Mac OS on an Intel based PC, is it a Mac or a PC? Mac users overpay to be a part of a 'cult'. After Mac embraced Intel architecture, the whole comparison become more or less irrelevant.
If I was to buy a computer for an intelligent person who wants to get as much done as possible, I'd buy a PC. If I was to buy a computer for someone who's seriously technically challenged, I'd buy a Mac.

Bullshit. All you need is 1 good antivirus software, and two digit IQ. Then you are safe. If you don't have either, fuck you.

That kind of genius? Why to run antivirus software? Well, if you don't, your computer start slowing down and get buggy. And you don't run AVSW. It runs by itself, you just install it and it works from there to the future all by itself. You just pay the license fee every three years.

Microsoft Security Essentials is the shiznit.

bingo, anti virus companies have scared everyone into thinking we all need anti virus software. I have never had a virus in 3 - 4 years and when I did it was downloading questionable material that I knew might have a virus. IMO if you get a virus on PC your an idiot.
Well, you are liar, nothing more, or you have used system in a place, which have strong corporate firewall with antivirus software. This kind of lie comes from complete stupidity, because it indicates that you don't know shit about the Internet and techniques in it. If you take the unprotected computer, and put it online through ADSL which hasn't firewall on, there isn't no way in hell how it would not be infected in matter of minutes. Microsoft has bunch of these kind of machines for fishing viruses, and they went from zero viruses to the point where they send hundreds of millions of spam-mails per machine in 24 hour. And you are in just same Internet, so if you don't have protection, you are fucked no matter what you lie. Do you understand? There is only one internet and we all are in it, so if I want, I can scan your IP- address and log in to your machine. Then I can do what ever I want with it, read and send your mails, look your porn and send it to your mother. ;D

dude you have played into the antivirus and tech guru people fear mongering. Virus really aren't that prevalent anymore. If you keep windows 7 up to date easy just have it auto check, and keep flash player up to date, you have nothing to worry about. Add a router for multiple computers and physical firewall and your set. No need for anti virus software unless your stupid. Go scare someone else lol.
