If shit is not working right within your system, it might as well be broken in my opinion. Not being able to get to work immediately when you turn on your machines, equals broken to me. Im not trying to trouble shoot and search the net to find missing dll files to make shit work, when I have work deadlines.


The great thing about Mac is everything just works together seamlessly. That bad thing, is that its not as customizable as a PC, closed system and platform, very expensive, Way less bang for your buck and the fan boys are way annoying. lol


The great thing about PC is that you get a lot of bang for your buck, its very customizable, and lots of software and hardware is available for it. The lame thing is that all of that PC customizing, great paper stats, don't always work well together, the software and hardware isn't all uniform and isnt guaranteed to work with your custom setup. Lastly, if you have a PC, all of your buddies will come ask you questions on how to fix it. lol


It comes down to whats important to you as a User.


For me, I need it to work 100% of the time when I turn it on. All of my Macs and phone work very well together. I will pay more for reliability every time.




I had a Mac G5 break down 4 years after my 2 year warranty expired. Took it to the Mac store, got quoted $600 to get it all fixed and back to where it was before break down.


Did not care what it costed, was editing a shit ton of stuff and was crunching video for 3 weeks straight all day all night long. I worked that thing over. I had a deadline and more footage and content that needed to get out. Didn't have time to customize and tweak another system.


3 days later I came in to pick up my machine and when it came time to pay, I didn't get charged. I was like WTF!!?? Really?? Why? I was told that what happened was not suppose to happen. And was further told that because it wasn't suppose to happen, they would fix it for free.


Cooling system pretty much blew up and fucked up everything inside except the hard drive.


That G5 still works. I don't use it anymore, but I'm about to whip it and give it to my 6 1/2 year old daughter this week.



Brand loyalty and a company that stands behind their product is what keeps me buying apple. The only failed Apple product I have had fail, got fixed for free, when I really needed it.



To PCs defense, I have heard that the newer PCs and operating systems do work better than when I made the switch. I have one PC laptop with Windows 7. It seems to work when I turn it on 4 times a year.
