Then there are those of us who, for lack of a better term, color outside the lines...

My Galaxy Note 2 - to me - is far better than any iPhone on the market. Yes, even with the "ghey" pen, which I never use. I get a solid 2.5-3 days of battery life on a custom Rom, and couldn't be happier with it.

I had to build a new work system recently, and built it specifically to be 100% compatible with OS X because - for me - OS X has the best of both worlds (speaking Windows and Linux). I get the same or similar programs that are available in Windows (especially the Adobe suite) and nearly the same terminal and security that comes with Linux. It's not that I find OS X to be better or worse than Windows, or Windows to be better or worse than OS X, or either to be better or worse than Linux. It's simply a matter of what works best for me.

And about what also works best for me... the price. I spent less than half of what it would've cost for a "real" Mac Pro. Regardless of how much money my company makes, I am not in the business of wasting money when i don't have to. And having the technical ability to install OS X on a PC - which, let's be honest, is a fuck-ton easier nowadays from 10.7 or later than it ever was with 10.6 or earlier - and run it flawlessly makes the idea of not wasting money for a logo all that much sweeter.

Bottom line is, there is nothing my "Hack Pro" cannot do in OS X that a "real" Mac Pro can. Well, if you want to get technical, I can't run bootcamp since it's a PC... but then, it's a PC so I don't need to.

And then, I recently sold my Asus tablet and bought an Ipad Mini. Once again because - for me - it is what works best for me. I actually have very little use for a tablet at all and mainly bought the Ipad Mini because the size is perfect (the full sized Ipad is simply too big and cumbersome for me) and I can run Logic Remote (which is really the only reason I bought it) on it as opposed to buying a USB midi keyboard that I have no desk space for.

Moral of the story? Do or buy what is best for you.
