If a fan dies, a fan dies, Apple doesn't make better fans, they don't even make fans.

I'm thinking Mac Addicts don't really know the difference.

I dislike Microsoft because they make O/S's proprietory, but Apple does the same thing with their system.

Their tactics are sneaky, just like microsoft. Why can't I watch an .mov file without adding Quicktime and iTunes to my startup? I don't even use iTunes, but there it is, bastards.

Everything wrong with a PC is twice as wrong on a Mac.

The mice on macs are like a hoof. One button. How idiotic.

It should come with it already. I don't like going to the keyboard to use two hands when it should at my fingertips (on one hand).

It's my biggest beef with their design. One button also just looks idiotic to me.

can you use torrent on a mac?

i laughed when you said hoof, i never thought of it that way.
i dont mind the design actually...
one thing i've really noticed with my macbook compared to any of my friends PC notebooks is that its soooo lightweight and slim... amazing!

Hahaha, ok the first argument in favor of Mac I've seen on this thread.

The iPod is slim too, but more expensive and less functional than the competition.

The MacBook weighs 5 pounds and some other Laptops weigh less than 4 pounds.

i hafto appologize, i said compared to the ones my friends have.. i dont know every laptop on the market, and i don't care to research it.
but i do appreciate your ability to.

and i dont feel like i'm the first one in favour of a mac... maybe i got the wrong feeling reading the thread.

i'm a mac person

the mouse thing is easily remedied (sp?) by buying a right clicker at Wal-Mart for under 10 bucks

it takes seconds for my mac to start up as opposed to minutes waiting for the pc to do the same

as long as you have the newer macbook you'll be able to do all the fun things you do with a pc except it won't take as long and your computer won't freeze up all the time

also if something is not working right, you'll never have to worry about your computer being affected by a virus or whatever, no lengthy 'virus scans" and all that other stuff

it is very lightweight, and most of the dells that are so affordable are really bulky and heavy

so...i would definitely go for the mac if you have the money to purchase it!

that's my two cents.

buy a mac !
windows suck !
When will people finally believe that ?
Mac Os is so much better than windows.
Starting a windos-equipped PC takes 2 or 3 minutes (launching windows, launching antivirus, firewall, etc.). Starting a mac takes 20 seconds. And once it's started, it works...

To be honest, the most common computer error is an ID10T error, "eye, dee, ten, tee" as we say in the business. It's a user error, the most common one.

Perhaps it's not that the PC isn't equipped to handle your needs. Perhaps you aren't equipped to handle a PC. Owning a PC is a hobby, owning a mac is like owning a microwave.

There is a false dichotomy, which is Mac vs PCs. Microsoft does not make PCs, they make operating systems. The beauty of the Personal Computer is that I can customize it and upgrade it. They use a standard form factor known as ATX. This means that any hardware manufacturer can make hardware that suits ATX. You have a choice of Intel or AMD, ATI or NVidia, Kingston or AZN and many competitors have come and gone. I personally liked 3DFX, they said "Why make a board that is overclockable, when we can clock it right for you?"

If you look at the history of Apple computers and where they are headed. They are now using Intel processors, they are compatible with Windows and PC hardware. So what you are really getting is a PC with Mac OS X. Why can't you buy a different PC and run Mac OS X on it? The motherboard just looks like they rearranged the expansion slots and RAM. Which means that it's not ATX form factor, but does the same thing and is compatible with the same peripherals. It's kind of like Underwriters Laboratories labeling UTP cables in Levels instead of Categories. They call Category 5 UTP, Level 5.

Apple has always been good at marketing though. They will make something completely ordinary seem like an exotic vacation.
