Mac versus Pc... What's your take?

For me I will choose a pc, simply because I can easily upgrade it's hardware myself, if something goes wrong, I can replace broken component with easily available replacement in the market. Software wise, easily you can find more titles supporting pc than mac. Many freewares and sharewares are build in pc platform. Gaming also biased towards pc. Lastly, cost wise, I cat bet you'll get better price anytime with comparative performance between pc and mac.

I haven't used a Mac computer before. I just know the operating system is different. Since I get used to use the Windows operating system and I don't want to change to use another new one because I have to take the time to adjust to it. Besides, I wonder whether there are many digital stuff's provides the drive software for the Mac computer. This is why I won't consider this kind of computer. I love China

i like more pc so i don't buy mac at all!!first because apple products are nice from an external view but as configuration in many cases is quite the same for pc but they are more expensive!!second i don't like mac os as os..so if i want install a linux distribution for example and leave windows on the background so just for soem things..i can do it without problems!! Latly i consider also that if you buy a mac you must use only softwares lincesed by mac..so this is a big limitation and in my cases i should be obliged to pay extra licenced softwares than for pc i can have freeware or shareware!!my question is why i must buy mac?

i've used both windows and mac osx but i found windows better than mac... i dont know why but i prefer windows 7..... mac is a bit slower than windows.... it gives constant speed but i have never seen flashing speed like windows has... there are billions of apps we can use on windows but not in mac... even we are so much familiar with every little error that windows give and we know how to solve problem... there unlimited reasons for the preference of windows.... visualy i'll rate windows 7 then mac... as far as hardware is concerned both pc and mac has almost same hardware... i dont know why they cost more than pc...

For me i love mac since i love web designing and i am studying web programming i rather choose mac. But the thing there is i love the Graphical User Interface of the mac it mesmerizes me.. the first time i used mac i instantly decided beginning that day that i change my operating system to mac. thats all i can say a bout the mac..

mac is just overpaid hardware and design. The same specs for a regular pc would be much cheaper. I agree that macs are great looking but i look for substance in a machine.

Mac's are good but so are Windows 2000/XP/Vista(with a lot of work)(Assuming you used Windows). Mac OS X is a solid OS but you have to buy one of there computers and follow there rules which is where it loses some of its cool factor. But if you have any want to become a movie editor or music creator Mac's are awesome and well gaming i have heard that they are okay but not as good as Windows for gaming. I don't use either Mac or Windows. I am a Linux/Ubuntu user. I find Ubuntu runs as good as a Mac with more functions than Windows and Mac put together. I can play and run Windows and Mac products on my Laptop which is a Dell Studio XPS 1340. Linux and Mac have a lot in common as far as how they run. They are both Unix based where Windows is a OS/2 ,NTFS file system. Which it slowly gets bigger and bigger until it just breaks and can not run anymore. Ubuntu has a Mac feel to it in some ways with a little bit of Windows mixed in there. I would try it on one of your older laptops to see if you like it. You can run a Live CD (Not installing it on your Hard Drive) to see how well it will work on your laptop. It should make your laptop run at almost the same speed as a new Vista/Windows 7 laptop and should run like a Mac in stability. Oh and also Linux/Ubuntu is 2nd most popular OS in the World.

Only once i had an old mac computer, and was from my father who produces tv content. Now i have my pc, with windows xp (hoping to improve to windows 7 soon), and i like it, its useful ,its simple. But nowadays im really into the design thing. I have the adobe master collection cs4 and Sony's Vegas and Sound Forge pro . So talking to some people, friends they recommended me mac, and i search a bit about it, and its true, mac is really superior for edition ,and design. On the other aspects i prefer any windows operating system PC. But with the design thing im looking forward for a mac.

windows 7 is great i think and i like to play games and stuff so its nice to be able to find games online and in stores .

Macs are better! You can use a program to simulate Windows on your mac and that's how you can play all the games and use all the apps that aren't on mac (nowadays most good games and apps are on mac too). And mac is so much better for video, sound and picture editing. Almost all professionals use them. And my Mac that I use now is 7 years old so... I can't play the new games on this, but WoW still goes :D And stuff like GTA SA even if it's for PC...
