Macs are better
Three reasons why Macs are ultimately better than a poo poo PC:
[b]1. Macs are actually cheaper in the long run[/b]
Sure, you can buy a Windows PC for fewer up-front dollars. But the true cost of ownership should be calculated based on not only the acquisition cost, but the residual value after you sell it or trade it in. It’s the difference between those two numbers that really tells you what your computer costs to own. When you calculate the cost of ownership in that way, Macs win easily. All you have to do is compare the value of a Windows PC from, say, three years ago (which is often close to zero), and compare that to what you can get for your 3-year-old Mac. It’s virtually always no contest.
[b]2. Macs are much easier to buy[/b]
I tried shopping for a PC just to compare, and after about 15 minutes my eyes glazed over. When you have so many choices, not only of manufacturers, but bells and whistles and speeds and sizes, it's almost impossible to know whether you're getting the right, or best, deal. With the Mac, it's much easier to narrow down your search quickly, PLUS, be assured you're getting a well-made and well-respected product, included being loaded with a whole bunch of great software you'd have to buy extra on a PC. On top of all that, there’s no equivalent to PowerMax in the PC world. The friendly and expert staff happily helped me through the entire process.
[b]3. Microsoft is for geeks, Apple is for people who just want to get things done[/b]
What's pretty much true is that the back-end, server-infrastructure kinds of things is well-handled by Microsoft, because it's in the [i]land of the geeks[/i], who love to dig into the machinery and tinker with all the settings and understand all the acronyms. Those kind of people like Windows on the front end as well because they understand all the crazy intricacies and complications of the computer system. Apple isn't nearly as big in the IT world, and that's okay, because its front end user interface for [i]the rest of us[/i] doesn't require us to be computer geeks to get things done.

Maybe for work... I just prefer PC cause it runs more games. That's just cause I'm a gamer though. [spoiler]Those tags though[/spoiler]

I own both, I built my pc 4 to 5 years ago, it still runs like it's brand new, my mac which was more pricy than building a pc is slowing down. Both are good computers but my pc is easily upgraded and can last alot longer.

Also, I'm not a geek but I easily understand how to get things done on PCs.

2 RepliesAgreed, macs are definitely better for people who don't know how to use computers. As for cheaper? I don't know, really depends on the type of computer you're using. A Mac engineering system is extremely expensive and doesn't hold its value very well because those guys always need top of the line. Also you need to take into consideration PCs can be upgraded to extend their life. Too many variables me thinks to make an accurate price comparison.

Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in the words of Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!

Facepalm* Your argument of saying Microsoft is for geeks invalidated any other statement you have said. The fact that that was your best thing against Microsoft... Sad

I have a mac. It's alright but to be honest I did get it because of the ease of buying one. I didn't know what kind of laptop to get so I decided to get MacBook instead. It works for everything I want it for so that's good.
