There are commercial tools for windows which can do whatever you can imagine.Ofcourse if you compare default windows with default mac,i guess mac is better then.

all apple products i have still work without any problem

once i had to hard reset ipod

Tulku · 11-09-2014, 03:20 AM

Hey guys,

I'm not fan of Apple products at all ( honestly I'm opposite ), but I'm looking for ultrabook in the price range $1500-$2000 and from what I'm seeing Macbook Air is the best. I tried hard looking for Win .. I liked the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but there's problems with Wi-Fi, display yellow and such shit plus it looks cheap inside with some plastic etc. I don't want to buy something not so cheap and have problems like these. So in the end the last couple of days I decided to get the MBA (and will install Windows on it lol)

Have A Nice And Productive Day!

We're opening our 2nd shop on Saturday. We are opening our central kitchen/warehouse on Tuesday. I looked at all the options out there and it wasn't even close, considering price, power, and apps to integrate all three locations.

Ipad 3s for everyone using OneDrive (or SkyDrive, they keep changing names) and Office 365 for iPad - 5 licenses for $99 a year. I tried on Android and had serious synching issues with Excel. I tried Skydrive for Business and it was too fucking hard to explain to everyone, whereas the personal version (free) is great. On top of that, I purchased all 5 iPad 3s used in Malaysia at an average price of $250 a piece (16GB, wifi only.)

I did have my eye on the Surface Pro 3, but for our set up, not worth the price.

So I guess the answer is - whatever works for your situation.

There are si many varieties of PC, many of them are waaay cheaper than macs. No surprise that cheaper ones would be more prone to having problems.

AaronM · 11-09-2014, 07:54 AM

The HD on my MacBook Pro failed this year. I seized the opportunity to install a 750gb drive. I had the Genius Bar run some tests on it and apparently my battery is around 65% capacity to I've ordered a new one.

All in all, this is the best laptop I've ever owned.

I paid for my lenovo around 700 $ almost 3 years ago and I still love this ultrabook. light, 12'5 screen, ideal for travel (which actually I do a lot)

So I guess that for 1000 $ you can get something really nice from them these days...forget about touchscreens and windows 8, just my

the only problem that lenovo (and ibm before) has is the tape connecting motherboard with LCD. sometimes it gets broken (actually it happened in almost every lenovo that I had), but usually it happens during 2 year warranty.... if not - cost of repairing it is around 100 $...

One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't:

Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories they burn because they can't shut the fuck up about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple's marketing campaign, like "it just works." I have the following rebuttals to this argument:

1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!

Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:

2. Fuck you.

I don't know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can't do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can't even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog shit:

Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

An artist.
In a band.
Unemployed (see above).

After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community? It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole! I feel like Apple is not just selling computers, they're selling a way of life, and I'm not ready to be that heavily invested in a product. I think this parody helps illustrate Apple's unspoken message:

iTunes is the new Real Player:

In doing research for this article, I decided to reinstall iTunes, a program I hadn't used since version 4 (now on 7). Here it is, just working:

Back in the late 90s, everyone used Real Player. Then those cocks at Real Network got greedy, and tried to get their application to take over your entire PC, and people stopped using it. Same thing is happening with Quicktime now. You can't install Quicktime anymore unless you download bullshit iTunes. This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Not that I could have used it for what I wanted to anyway:

From the actual iTunes End User License Agreement.

If I want to manufacture biological weapons with my copy of iTunes, I will, fascists. Ditch this bullshit.

The shit breaks down just like anything else these days and it all comes from the same factories in China

But unfortunately for some people Apple has become a cult. They're computer pretty much would have to explode and take out their family dog before they start to consider the idea that Apple might not be as "perfect" as they've told to believe.

If you ever want a laugh then buy yourself a coffee and sit across the street from an Apple store. It'll take you 5 minutes to see the iRelgion for what it is.

Its easy for an OS to be wonderful when you only support 12 pieces of hardware you also made. Where windows has to support over a million possible combinations. Since windows xp, Ive never had a problem, no blue screens of death. And I also own a 2013 macbook pro retina which tends to run hot and really doesnt like any other browser except safari.

I just attempted to wipe and install Yosemite on a Macbook Pro. It won't install and I go to Google to see what's up.

Seems there's a problem with the installer and the fact that I upgraded the RAM without paying a 500% markup to Apple. Ton's of people pissing and moaning about it.

Third party RAM? I've done three so far. This is the only one with upgraded RAM that I purchased elsewhere.

Apple is aware and will be installing for me tomorrow at the Apple Store. Unfortunately, I don't know know where my original RAM is.

Check the post above. They know it's an issue too. And it's only certain 3rd Party memory. I'm guessing Apple doesn't have a deal with Corsair.

Oddly enough, the Hackintosh boxes were updated within 24 hours of Yosemite release without a single issue.

Both MacBook Pro and iMac were upgraded from base 4GB of RAM to their maxes of 16GB and 32GB using 3rd party RAM from Crucial.com

JustDaveXxx · 11-10-2014, 05:38 PM

This thread is funny!

I think both Mac and PC hardware both have the same life spans. But with my expirences I noticed Mac has Zero software or hard ware compatibility issues.

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.

Most of the people who have issues with Macs would probably be challenged tying their shoelaces, some people are just inherently stupid and probably shouldn't be using any kind of computer anyway.

If most of your work is writing, HTML, surfing, blogging, photoshopping, designing etc, get a Macbook Air. They are super light and portable, with batteries that a good 8 hours of real use, a beautiful bright high res screen and an SSD drive. Fantastic machine.

The Macbook Pro's are bigger and more expensive, and have faster CPU's so they are better suited for video & rendering I think. If you don't think you need this, save your money and go for the Macbook Air. I have one myself and love it.

Fun fact: Apple doesn't make hardware. It picks what it wants to put in it's devices and only supports it.

That's a downfall of Windows. It tries to support everything and it just fails.

Fun Fact:

Just set up of the new Macbook Pro I just got.

1) Turned it on.
2) Entered iCloud password.
3) It just worked.

Bookmarks, Mail Accounts, Passwords, WiFi connection, you name it, it all worked. Gone are the days of setting up all your shit when you get a new machine. I literally had to do nothing and I was right back where I left off with the Macbook Air.

I did have to download some of the third party apps I like though of course.

I disagree. I have had Air's since day 1. I'm a product guy, so I am doing all the above that you mention and the memory pings out. You need a Macbook Pro if you want to feel like you're driving a Ferrari work station at the office. I gave my Air to my GF so she can go on Facebook with it. I wouldn't want to use an Air for work ever again. They're still good machines, just not suited for web mastering duties. I would tell any traveling sales person or equivalent to get one though. Great for email and just general browsing the web, etc.

As long as it works I'm cool with that.

I did have to download some of the third party apps I like though of course.

Apple for the win!

Thats all I want! My shit to work with zero effort, so I can get to work on what makes me money.

I tried hard looking for Win .. I liked the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but there's problems with Wi-Fi, display yellow and such shit plus it looks cheap inside with some plastic etc. I don't want to buy something not so cheap and have problems like these. So in the end the last couple of days I decided to get the MBA (and will install Windows on it lol) Have A Nice And Productive Day!

RandyRandy Clips still sell! Industry Role: Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Crown Heights, Brooklyn Posts: 1,708	We're opening our 2nd shop on Saturday. We are opening our central kitchen/warehouse on Tuesday. I looked at all the options out there and it wasn't even close, considering price, power, and apps to integrate all three locations. Ipad 3s for everyone using OneDrive (or SkyDrive, they keep changing names) and Office 365 for iPad - 5 licenses for $99 a year. I tried on Android and had serious synching issues with Excel. I tried Skydrive for Business and it was too fucking hard to explain to everyone, whereas the personal version (free) is great. On top of that, I purchased all 5 iPad 3s used in Malaysia at an average price of $250 a piece (16GB, wifi only.) I did have my eye on the Surface Pro 3, but for our set up, not worth the price. So I guess the answer is - whatever works for your situation.

I seized the opportunity to install a 750gb drive. I had the Genius Bar run some tests on it and apparently my battery is around 65% capacity to I've ordered a new one. All in all, this is the best laptop I've ever owned.

Where windows has to support over a million possible combinations. Since windows xp, Ive never had a problem, no blue screens of death. And I also own a 2013 macbook pro retina which tends to run hot and really doesnt like any other browser except safari.

It won't install and I go to Google to see what's up. Seems there's a problem with the installer and the fact that I upgraded the RAM without paying a 500% markup to Apple. Ton's of people pissing and moaning about it. __________________ Spend you some brain. Email Me

JustDaveXxx I AM JUSTDAVE ! Industry Role: Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: LA Posts: 4,111	This thread is funny! I think both Mac and PC hardware both have the same life spans. But with my expirences I noticed Mac has Zero software or hard ware compatibility issues. 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. Just Dave __________________ Smut Peddler Productions.com ICQ #378-696-435 / / Skype: JustDaveXxx "We shoot custom, exclusive content your way"

Truth told, I have Windows machines that I have to run a bunch of softwares on that I need for different things. They just aren't available for Mac. Carry on. Just for giggles here is Apple the cat, hanging out with Windows the dog. Notice how tired Windows is. Poor boy. Apple is so excited and ready to take on the world. LOL.
