Mac Switchers are unwise!!!(to say the least)

Wow, you bought a mac, and its better than your pc? I Wonder if thats because your mac is a new computer, and your PC is from 2001!!!Mac Switchers are unwise!!!(to say the least)
Actually, I use a MacBook as a laptop and its great for musical applications ranging from swaping audio clips to panning samples with Ableton Live. Gaming-wise... yes it has its problems though that doesn't necessarily means that it's crap.Mac Switchers are unwise!!!(to say the least)

i never understood why some people like macs so much it just dont make sense to me. besideds it not having as many viruses. and they seem way more expensive to me. but hey everyone has their opinion
I'm a semi-professtional video editor, soon to be pro, and moving to Hollywood. PC's don't have FCP; sure, you can get a GTX and what not, but for a Mac, gaming isn't a big deal so it doesn't matter. This post is ridiculous.I make money on my Mac, I have a huge hobby for games and building PC's. So yes, that means have a Mac Pro, Power Mac G5, Apple Cinema Displays, MacBook Pro, and an iMac for my video editing and for home use. I have a gaming PC (see sig for details) for GAMING!Yes, Apple's operating system is much more solid than Vista; Vista has crashed on me, and Mac OS X over five years of use, has not. I trust Mac OS X. They are two different platforms without two different sets of applications, and two different specialities.Yeah, please don't say Mac's suck; I wouldn't be successful without one, they are a much better for video editing.
Macs are good, but that video on youtube makes the people look like retards...



''I couldn't find the button''



''What cable do I use''



wtf..

''I couldn't find the button'' ''What cable do I use'' wtf..[/QUOTE]A percentage of Mac users are those who aren't computer savvy, and were told a Mac was simply and they needed a computer; usually one will go for it. Another percentages are those people who want a computer that just works; so they go with a Mac. Another percentage is for the people, like me for instance, who use Macs for professtional productions and so on.
The whole scheme that macs are SOOOO good for professional editing is a hoax... you can make a pc for half as much, install adobe premier/Photoshop/Reason/Whatever professional software you need and get better performance and stability. Mac users are all elitist morons. End of case.

One of the reasons I use a Mac primarily for editing is due to its robustness. That way I don't lose jack *bleep* halfway through a track edit; unlike Windows, which has a tendency to crash on occasions whenever more than 13 audio samples are compiled at the same time! That and I can actually kill the process better than wait for XP to close the damn program, even when I try killing it through task manager.[QUOTE=''amekhov'']Macs are good, but that video on youtube makes the people look like retards...

wtf..[/QUOTE]That and people have a tendency to just assume/envisions things of a Mac or not go and learn how to use a PC, thus making them the morons. And those videos are pretty much biased. You'll see that most advance users today branches off into both fields to take advantage of their benefits.
Mac excels in the laptop department, I personally am buying a Mac Book Pro for college and dual booting Vista. Mac has the better hardware right now.
Ive got to say some of the Mac ads really piss me off. I feel as though they embelish the high points of the product but at the end of the day thats what ads are for. I use a Macbook at home and for my college work and its fine. I cant say its any better than the pc i previously owned but i can say that ive had no problems, all my drawing and graphics applications work hitch-free, aswel as the music programs i run. It has a simple interface which is nicer to look at than the xp one i had previous to this.The Mac ads should be more along these lines: Mac - Great for creative work, crap for games.
I hate the Mac... They need to leave computers and continue selling iPods... I guess since Amber McArthur likes Mac, I will leave it alone, shes just so cute with her technology understandings, to bad she left...
Well, a friend of mine is now an official Mac whore, however he plays all his games on he Xbox, so yeah. In that case I think you'd actually be better of with a Mac.

Moi, however, couldn't care less the Xbox or PS3, the Wii is the only one I'm still considering buying IF there's ever a game out that suits me. Because games are the reason why I have my PC. So no Mac's.

Macs have their place in the world. They are good, reliable PCs for typing documents, browsing the internet, and doing assorted ''chores''. Imo, their only bad aspects are their inability to play games well, and their price.Also, for people proficient with computers, the ''ease of use'' that macs have can actually cause frustration, at least for me. Thats how all Mac products are from my experience.I used my mom's ipod yesterday, and (as with my other MP3, non-ipod) i simply hooked it up to my PC via USB and expected to be able to load songs on since the ipod has internal software. Nope. I had to download itunes, which in turn has about THREE background programs that run even when itunes is closed. Then I have to ''sync'' my mom's ipod which deletes all her music, then I had to make a new account, then I had to resync it. This is good if you have directions and not a clue, but if you have lots of experience with PCs and then you get your hand held by Macs because they dont trust you to do the right thing on your own, its annoying.The mac computers are the same way. I dont want to sound cruel, but the only people who should use macs are people who dont know jack. And video editors, but I think thats more due to a lack of software and whatnot than due to Macs being more capable. Just my opinion.
