Serious Questions for the OP
1. What languages do you code in ? 2. Do you use Unix command line tools ? The reason I ask is that many developers these days use Macs, every developer conference I go to is mostly Mac users, it's rare to see a PC laptop amongst all the Macs. |

I use every language ever invented and none of them do anything different that would be significant. You might as well just ask me what type of latex paint I use on a wall. At the developer conference : Oh, I sooooooooo believe that because the money people they work for buy the mac for them because that's what they use. Or, who wants to show up with a "cheap" computer and not look successful. I didn't buy my mac; it was purchased for me so I would match. Note : I made this thread because I hate the iMovie app with a passion; so it's not about me being a programmer. |
Mac is style over substance.
It's also a cult. To me a computer is about efficiency and getting shit DONE - then walking the fuck away from it. Macs are about spending as much time as you can sucked into the Apple Universe. No thanks. |

I can use pretty much either machine interchangeably, they both do the same things. The big advantage with the Mac is that if you are using an iPhone or iPad you have access to your text messaging through iMessage. As well you also have a native bash shell and can do ssh natively. Video rendering can be a bit faster on the Mac at times as well. And oh yeah you don't get that weird feeling Windows is trying to spy on you and monetize your private data. That is the main thing that I dislike about Windows and Android. Anyways enjoy your computers. |

I bought an iMac few months ago and I'm selling it right now. It's complete bullshit.

Bad workman blaming his tools...

If you spend so much on a Mac get parallels. For $99 a year use parallels and run Linux, Windows, and other linux distros all at the same time. Even drag and drop. Copy and OS multiple times, trash it, delete it, make another copy. Same reason to use Vagrant (which works in tandem with virtual box) create a local virtual environment that you can run a specific kind of server. Whether it's a specific web technology or whatever. Virtualbox works ok for linux distros but they aren't nearly as smooth, plus can't drop and drag. http://i.imgur.com/bouw1Lt.jpg |

Macs run smooth as everything is tuned on their devices between the software and hardware. Same reason why a Galaxy S5 has a 4 core processor running around 2.5 GHz with 2800 mAh battery that is only a little faster than a iPhone 5s that has a 1560 mAh battery and a dual core processor humming along around 1.4 GHz. Most PCs are just slapped together, some hardware is better tuned when you buy it out of the store but I'm typing this on an iMac 2010 and it still runs great. |

It's a native UNIX machine, you can drop straight into bash and have the whole of UNIX at your fingertips. If you need extra packages you can install Homebrew and pull in any packages you want Homebrew ? The missing package manager for OS X I use Sublime Text 3 & Atom for text editors. Git command line tools and the Git GUI If you run VirtualBox and Vagrant then you don't need to leave your machine to do development, you can fire up whatever native platform you are developing web apps for right on your machine. You can test all your code locally - regardless of where your end product will go - set up a dev server on Digital Ocean or Vultr etc and quick deploy git changes to that on your dev branch for immediate remote testing and auto deploy your master branch to a production server.

The beauty of VirtualBox & Vagrant is that you can have your entire codebase local and test it as if it were on a production server. So you can have a Centos 6 Instance using CPanel and your code base on your local machine and test that your App will run properly in that environment. Or run Ubuntu, Fedora or whatever other production environment while keeping your code local. |
people defending mac overpriced shit always mention the support, you can call them, blablabla.
In my whole life i have never even thought about calling some support phoneline when i had PC issues. That's what the elderly do (85+) and chicks with an IQ of 70. |
Quote:
But none of that has to do with me hating the iMovie app bad enough to rant in this thread. The only people who brought up programming only did so because they know I'm a programmer. I never said programming was a problem. I was trying to make a video for a job application and porn kept getting stuck to it. :1orglaugh |

If you can't use a mac and within the first 10 mins realise the huge advantages, the main one efficiency, then perhaps you need to look at something more appropriate to your aptitude.

I used PC from 1992 to 2010. Now I have 3 mac computers and I can't be happier.
It just works. Never had an issue and design and quality's materials are supreme. I have a partition where I have Windows too. Can't be better. :2 cents: |

I'd slit my wrists trying to do web dev on Windows :2 cents: For example, who was the genius that decided that Control - C on Windows should be copy and not break like every other platform ? |

Can I ask you a question? Are you using one of your Macs as a monitor for your PC? Can you tell me how you did that? I currently have 3 iMacs on my desk as 1 giant extended desktop. 2 of them are connected through the firewire / video port thing, and the 3rd one uses the network for video. This works, but its slugish - I will probably swap for a proper cable soon. Anyway, I'd love to hook up my PC to this so that both computers can share all 4 monitors as an extended desktop. How did you connect your PC? |
Quote:
(Adapters might work, but I'm not 100%) Oh, and the iMac should be around 2013 model or newer for the mDP ports.. |

This. Our accounting has a Mac and is running Parallelles so Windows and OSX can operate at the same time. I was so skeptical, but now I'm amazed . It. works. perfectly. Quote:
And like you, the iMac that I am typing this on now is from 2009. It's FAST and works perfectly. Quote:

And sorry dude, but support is important. You and I don't buy computers just to play games, we rely 100% on them for our businesses. They *HAVE* to work. And if something goes wrong, we need Fast, instant, expert support. It's a necessity, period. Quote:
peace. |

All I have to do is switch inputs to go between either machine. One very cool thing is that the monitor works as a USB switch so I have a keyboard connected to the monitor and it works on both machines. |

I have no idea what the hell you have to do to a computer to be needing some support guy on the phone like some clueless airhead. Like i said, support is for the elderly and brainless chicks. |
Quote:
The USB switch is fantastic. I have the same keyboard and speakers connected to the monitor and they are available to both machines. Then a MX Master mouse connected to both as well. It makes the environment change between OSX or Windows seamless. No problems running it with Mac or PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRSeCKnmCLo |
All I know is that my new Retina display iMac is AWESOME!

In defense of apple computers, though, the hottest female in the whole country, who I have been inside of and fallen asleep with on many occasions, she does use apple computers
But they still suck And I wonder what ever happened to her because MOONHOWL |
What a drama lama. No point to add anything as toomuch nonsense was already told.

And what about that charging port. Apple never heard about wireless charging. There was zero reason not to include a USB 3.0 or at least more than one USB-C port in the Macbook. HP managed to make the Spectra even thinner and it at least includes 3 USB-C ports. But oh no why make something more usefull, instead of letting the clown Jony Ive rule the company. Apple customers are getting butt fucked, and still they make nothing but excuses to defend the company. |

for the 599$ mac mini with no monitor I can get a 6core AMD with a 24" monitor and 2 hookers...or an 8 core with 24"monitor and no hookers... now I understand if you like the look and feel of apple...but it has no advantage over my ubuntu/AMD setup...I do not even consider buying intel, simply because there is no difference in performance...windows is shit, no debate on this...but ubuntu is another story... apple to me, is like buying a $599 carrot... |
When you understand Steve Jobs, the guy still responsible for the how do you say.. "personality" of Mac products.. ", the way stuff is kind of makes more sense. As a person, he was a very interesting guy.. Good/Bad/Whatever, no matter what you think of him, he lived a very interesting life.
He really valued design, wanted each users experience to be under his control - so he could make it "as good as possible". He was a total control freak, that really shows through in the products. He considered himself like an artist, one who loved making money and obsessed over the marketing of his products - from the user experience which started with how you felt when you "opened the packaging". The commercials were a huge deal, so were product unveiling events. Heaps of ego and talk of how awesome their products are, and they make a tonne of cash (huge margin on their products).. But really at the core, you have open source operating system - tweaked considerably (mostly turning functionality off, lol), hardware designed to work specifically with that software config so they can get better performance with older tech (smart, but they use that advantage to use older tech instead of making it as fast as possible), a really nice case/pretty looking product (usually).. For what it is, I think you over-pay for what you get. Clearly the marketing side has worked very well for them. |

We are not pissed off. We actually have a lot of fun, and some even curious about what's going on inside the heads of Apple fanatics. See.. no anger, just a big laugh.. |

Mac Users
They are fat wanna be sluts...no one will fuck

I use a mac air, but really it's just for 1 essential reason - it's very light.
I'd take a laptop with windows if it was less than 3 pounds. Hated it when I just got it, but learned to make do. Now using windows feels bit weird :) |
