Mac vs. PC (PIC)

http://www.freshbite.info/fnews_1224745936_11096.htm

As a Mac user, I found this pretty funny because it's partially true - at least before the transition to Intel.

You Macheads amuse me. It's like a fucking cult with you guys. Use what you use and leave the rest of us alone we don't want to join your cult. Get a life and quit worrying what I use. I'm perfectly happy with a PC. After all I am not retarded so I do not a retard proof machine at 50% mark-up. And if I want to improve my PC it's very easy to upgrade without having to buy a brand new machine.

haha good one ... thats one of the reasons I don't use mac... they are so simple... it makes me feel.... deedeedeeeee .. lol ... I like to tweak my shit, plug things and trick things out... and a mac just won't do for that kinda user .... I mean the only thing I haven't plugged in yet is the freakin' stove or the microwave but I am close enough

The good thing with PCs is that.... if its got a hole.. u bet I WILL plug shit in it!

with a mac it's the ability to easily and legally run OS X that you're paying for, not the hardware per se - the hardware mark up is just the cost you pay to use a vastly superior OS.

So lame... Why don't they show the actual mac? Oh wait.. because he has wires plugged into it, like my wifes!

My PC absolutely kills my wifes Mac. Now after several years of having one, I'm 100% sure I would never buy one. Other than booting up and down, no part of her Mac is even, half ass, faster than my PC.

The lamest PC's at Sams Club totally smokes a Mac.

Mac's are for yuppies who like neat gay looking things.

Wow, amazing that my PC, ... the one behind me, runs Linux, both with photopshop, one with Gimp.. and it KILLS my wifes Mac. My graphics are faster, cpu, ram, everything, all round 5000% faster..... and I would never in 1000000000 years dream of reducing myself to Dreamweaver.

Whats up with the 8FPS side scroller? My macbook pro can play plenty of games.

With Windows Paralell I can play all the same games my monster PC can play.

Photoshop on Linux sucks, and don't even try to mention the gimp... and you can't beat DW for whipping up quick WYSIWYG layouts. If you want to use the juicy open source stuff on windoze you're either stuck with cygwin (which bites, since you're running it on top of a shitty platform) or virtualizing, in which case you may as well just use a mac...

Only benefit of the Mac over MC, is out of the box. I will give it up to Mac for that, I have never purchased or built a PC that in 15 minutes after opening the box, I was on the Internet.

http://thedocblog.com/ Gimp baby, (ok, some of the banners aren't) unless I'm doing "PHOTO" work, I do not need all those tools. And all plugins from PS work in Gimp. So it's damn near exactly like PS6 and it's free.....

DW is trash and always has been. It's the tool newbies and lazy people use who don't really wish to learn how things work. Yeah, maybe if you want to "learn" how to adjust it so it does all the magic you want, great.. but it's more logical just to learn how to do it yourself.

i strongly disagree. there's nothing else on the market that allows you to quickly and easily experiment with layouts like DW. i'm not talking about finished sites - obviously the code needs to be tidied up by hand - but if you're playing around with complex layouts then you need WYSIWYG and nothing else comes close. i'm no DW fan, and if there was a better solution i'd use it - but there isn't.

You seem pretty set into the notion that your PCs are better so I won't even get into it.

I have had iMacs, Macbook Pros and currently have about 7 PCs at my house. Each custom built, each cost more or less 2000$ at the time of the build.

My Macbook pro and iMac are my best purchases and least expensive in the long run.

Most people tend to think that PCs are less expensive because of the initial buying price, but people also forget that you often have to Macs come with Pre-bundled software that isn't offered when you buy a PC. Usually you'll have to pay for Windows, anti-virus program, proper html editing progs, photo managers, etc etc etc.

And alot of the times, whenever new generations of technology come around (although I admit its less frequent these days), it usually means you have to somehow upgrade your PC by buying new hardware.

Lets not forget debugging time with Windows. How much time have most people spent looking for drivers to update your stuff or surfing the web for a patch so that your shit is compatible with your build.

Time is also money.


Anyhow, I could go on. Maybe your PCs are more powerful than the Macs, its quite possible. But in the long run, I prefer my Macs and thats just my plain simple opinion.

I do not use a WYSIWYG editor, and I have built and designed, entire paysites, member areas, 1000's of free sites, blogs, social networks, everything is built by hand. And I build them faster than people using editors, with less errors, less code, and actually built them correctly. DW, does not structure complex css sites correctly.

Anyhow, I could go on. Maybe your PCs are more powerful than the Macs, its quite possible. But in the long run, I prefer my Macs and thats just my plain simple opinion.

My wife's Mac was in a car wreck.. Know what sucked? I couldn't fix it, we had to send it to a shop. I'm sure you know what happens when the PC breaks. A wire for my Mac to my Tv cost.. $25.. Know what it cost for me PC? $2 - We have had 2 cd roms go out.

If you add up my software on my pc and take out my toys, my PC is still cheaper and still faster than her mac. For sure my npower vs the mac pro, holy crap.. at least $1000 cheaper.

My PC is 2+ years without a rebuild, my laptop was 4 before the fans went out. My cdrom on the npower was $25. The mac, I think it was $200ish because they had to put it in.

That mac cost more, it's parts cost more, and to get it repaired costs more.

As a Mac user, I found this pretty funny because it's partially true - at least before the transition to Intel.
I click on "What games the Mac owners are playing" and get this:



WTF? HAHA!!!

Just like a BMW costs more to repair than a Ford!


That said, i dropped my mac book pro as the straps broke on a bag, it damaged the case and apple changed the case under warranty, they did not have to do that as it was my fault, but they did.
There is also apple care you can get extra warranty with right.

Top and bottom of it, Mac is well worth it and even if it does cos a little more.. so what.

As both a PC user and a Mac user, I have to say I think both have their place. I _really_ like my Macbook. It's amazing, small (but not too small), faster then my dell xps, asus pos, toshiba or the wifes IBM. Oh and stable, I really can't get over how few problems I've had with this thing. I bought it and ran it stock for a while. I recently bumped the ram to 4gb and threw in an OCZ ssd into the macbook (didn't buy it thru an apple retailer cuz I like to save money where I can) and just love it. Sure, there was a mild learning curve to get all the software I need on here but that was just getting familiar with what software does what.

That said I still run a quad core w/4gb ram and 2 striped wd veloci's in my home machine.

You are talking about two different classes of cars, as if the PC and MAC are in a different class. We aren't talking about SGI's vs. PC's or MAC's.

This is like Ford and Chevy, almost no difference, except Fords do cost more to build, and Chevy's are better!
