Why isn't it portable? It takes me 3 seconds to disconnect and toss it in a bag. That's not portable?

if it crashes daily on your pc then something's wrong with it or you're a moron.... I had alot of pc's in the last 10 years, no issues other then some faulty hard drives, I even have old ahtlon amd running strong 24/7 for god knows how many years.... I used my buddies brand new mac, and it felt like it's made for grandmas and girls with all this tiny/cute/curvy design, macs are for people who are clueless about computers and how to operate them imo

For security reasons I choose not to leave that particular laptop unattended anywhere, ever. Everything else in here is bolted down.

![]() I switched to mac over 2 years ago now and will never go back to pc. For me Adobe runs waaaay faster on my mac than on my pc of similar power. Just my experience, might not be the same for other people who knows... Quote:
What I like best about macs is that you can push the fuck out of them. Open more apps, then more, then more. The thing never falls over. When I try this on my pc, it slows down, more, and more, then crashes. Reboot, cry, bash desk in frustration. Etc. |

Have you visited some of the porn sites out there? All it takes is ONE website to fuck you. It has nothing to do with being stupid. A single bad malware popup or viewing one fucked up email can install that crap on your systems and bring Windows to it's knees. Don't be stupid, you already know this.

The quality of the components and the processes used to merge them. I've had top-of-the-line PCs and top-of-the-line Macs. The Macs are still running. The PCs are long gone sitting in a landfill. That means something. PCs might be a little cheaper up front, but how many do you need to buy to last as long as one Mac?

I have one MBP in the kitchen from '07 still running like new. My iMac is from '07. My studio MBP is from '09. The longest I ever had a PC run (before either complete failure or so much degraded that it was useless) was 2 years.

TBH, sounds more like a user issue or just plain bad luck. Ive been working from home for years and have had 0 problems. I don't even turn my PC off at night, I leave several threads running.

Then I must have had bad luck between 1993 and 2007 (my Windows Era), because as soon as I switched, all my computer problems went away. Every one of them.

The custom builds were the most reliable of all, ironically. It was the shelf systems that always failed gloriously. Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway, etc.... all failed. The custom builds just died a slow death from computer age.

I have another HP laptop here with Vista on it that's from '05. The battery exploded three years ago so it's permanently on the power cord, and the keyboard only half works... but I haven't turned it on in over a year, so not sure if it'll even boot.

So, then you just disproved half your argument from earlier. You just turned your argument into quality control of major PC makers vs Apple, and not PC vs Mac, nor PC hardware vs Mac hardware.

You are idiot, son. The kernels of hardware are:
1) CPU 2) Chipset 3) RAM That's all. Please stop posting bullshit and learn what computer is.

Obviously PCs have worked out for you. For me, I'll never touch another one. I think they are cheaply made and Windows is too prone to catastrophe, (all on it's own, no viruses needed). Aaaaaaaaaaannnnd....... we're back to where we started. ![]()

I'm an artist, and I've been creating art with a PC for 15 years -- and making a good living from it. There is NOTHING you can do on a Mac that you can't do on a PC creatively. The BS stereotype that is spoon fed to the public is that artists use Macs, office people use PCs. I've worked at agencies that are entirely PC driven, and they create some pretty awesome stuff. Most of the art you see in Hollywood movies are done on a PC. Almost all major 3d animation packages are geared mainly toward PCs with Mac development as an afterthought. I know this because any high end graphics software package I've ever used, there's a always a portion of the community that is crying for Mac version.

technical are those who can take things apart and put it back together and then there are those who like just using things without getting into inner workings of things like computers/os/cars/etc. if a person doesn't know much about computers and os and is asking which one to get and doesn't want to have headaches let them buy a Mac and be worry free and happy that its so shiny that they even never have to dust it off ;)

I know a lot of 3d artists, and almost all of them use PCs. That's a fact.
It's been like that for years. If you're getting into high end animation, you're smarter to go the PC route. There's just more available to you. The machines are cheaper and usually faster also.

but what I was meaning was, yeah it's a stereotype... Quote:
It's not "artists use Macs, offices use PCs" because of the stereotype... the stereotype exists because of the fact that it, for the most part, it just works out that way in nature. Hollywood uses PCs predominately? News to me. As I understood it, most new movies are being cut & scored in Final Cut. Wasn't Hurt Locker created entirely on Macs? Wasn't Microsoft's own advertising created on Macs? Just saying, the stereotype has teeth. Not across the board of course, nothing is a 100% sweep.

I just upgraded my iMac last month. Plucked the screen off, yanked the HDD, and dropped in a 1tb drive. Piece of cake.
