People are talking about "power" and PC's. Yes, you can buy a more powerful PC for less than you would pay for a Mac. But that added power won't help you when the next virus comes around (they always do) or when the operating system fails. Rebooting your computer constantly? Come on don't lie.. I've been using control alt delete since I was like seven. The mac loves to run. I
rarely turn mine off. Close the lid. Done.
I've owned three apple laptops in the last 6 years and I can count on my left hand how many times they've frozen up - all three machines combined. They've always stayed pretty fast and have kept up with some pretty hefty software (prof recording programs).
Also, not once have I had to have someone fix my computer. Viruses? I haven't even thought about the possibility of a virus on my computers in years. Yet every PC I've ever owned I have had to whipe it clean and reinstall the OS. I've cleaned out probably 5 or 6 friends as well. Pretty brutal if you ask me.
If you like not only having the ability manipulate your operating system, but having more access to more software (assuming you're not going to put windows on your mac), stick with PC
What? Who here would just love to waste their time "manipulating their operating system?"
Software compatibility issues? Its over people. You can get a mac version for everything these days - I know there are the minute exceptions.. but I just don't care about the next version of some obscure computer game. I guess that works for me, maybe it doesn't for others. In general, if its popular enough for me to notice it, then its
probably available for Mac.
Looks. They are beautiful.
They're FUN. Some cool features - magnetic power cords, backlit keyboards, great big neat trackpads (use two fingers and it scrolls for you, four fingers gets you to your dashboard - which is a whole new set of fun free things to play around with.) There's really so much more too. It would take too long.
Let's face it people. Apple is doing it right. Ever since the beginning of the iPod era and now to the iPhone, they're awesome. And it's all because they are completely focused on the user experience, which is what you have to deal with on a daily basis as a buyer.
In the end its a matter of preference.. really no hate to the PC people out there cause everyone has there personal needs. That said, as an ex PC user, I would literally cry if someone told me my next computer had to be a PC. Real tears too, not like glistening in the eyes or anything.
