Should I get a mac or pc?

This is one of those topics that's like a turd that won't flush. Canon or Nikon? Chevy or Ford? PC or Mac?

The bottom line: A mac is more expensive, it's like not having a Manual Mode on your camera but Av and Tv modes work better, by its default settings it is more protected than a PC and there are less people trying to hack them.

It does all the same stuff a PC does, but there are somewhat less options when it comes to programs. If you haven't used one or the other it probably won't matter. If you've used a PC (or mac) all your life it's going to be an awkward switch, but you will get used to it.

So the bottom line, just like with buying a camera, find out what features you want, then go play touchy/feely with both and pick the one that works best for you.

Couldn't put it better!!!

Thanks, but there are some fanboys here that attacked me because I talked bad about their beloved mac. Even though it was the truth, they still got all butt hurt. Kind of like liberals when they get smacked in the face with facts. :lmao:

Naw we Mac folk don't care when someone talks bad about our machines. We have generally used both and made our choice due to experience. We just don't like the Micrsoft sheep bleating out things they want to believe is true.

Do Mac machines cost more than some home built machine or one of the multitude of low end windows machines. Sure.

But I just priced a Dell studio XPS 9100 with specs as close as possible to my Mac desktop. (None of the specs exceeded my machine) Price = $2277.99. That is with a 24" monitor instead of the 27" monitor mine has at $2399.00 for my system. But then mine came with a Bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse instead of the basic little wired things that most companies have as standard hardware.

As for programs. I can run any program you can since I have Windows 7 on it as well as OS X. I can actually run more programs. Since I can work in either environment or in both side by side. Just depends on how I choose to boot up.

As a typical Mac user my first post and subsequent ones suggested that the OP go and try them out cause hardware is hardware. It comes down to which OS they want to use.


I did think that I would pass this along though since I have a feeling you will need it:

I'm a liberal, what facts are you talking about? And why is this a discussion about politics?
 
Not sure about the comment that one is much cheaper. I find both to be comparable for equal features. Sure you can get an off brand PC for cheap, but you get (or don't get) what you pay for.

And no, all hardware is not the same.

I've heard Mac's have been notable for image work in the profesisonal world (movies, advertising, etc). PC's more in the business world. We use them at work.

Bottom line, PLEASE try them both out. Your choice will then become clear. If you look at Macs, try to go an Apple Store, not those morons at Best Buy. As for PC hardware, dosn't matter where you look.

Why do people use the term Liberal when they have no clue what it means? (Kinda like idiots who can't tell the difference between socialists and communists)
