Windows Vista is a goodd operating system, my mom recently got a new laptop running Vista w/ fingerprint scan login (not perfect tech. yet but it is still pretty cool) & it has the tablet display.I agree 3gb ram and 640gb hard drive is nice but when you have a shit operating system like windows vista, accompanied by a computer that is bound to break, its worth getting a mac. HP is not going to give you all that loaded stuff if they dont expect you to buy some more parts. ie. your computer is slow because you need to get a bigger power supply. They just feed you in with perks like those to try and get you to spend your money on maintanence and other stuff.
anyway thats just my thoughts to that comment.
O yeah im using a pc right now (waiting to get my new mac) and its decent dont get me wrong but when i start running photoshop, illustrator, and dreamweaver all at once it slows it down a whole lot, and i have some pretty good memory in it.
Those last two things don't really matter to the os...but i think they're pretty sweet - not something you commonly see.
Vista is a good OS though, I can't wait to get my new PC and play around with it some more.
You're expected to with a mac as well. You're not going to find a computer that isn't going to need to upgraded at some point. What's great about PCs, is you can get bigger, better parts, for a lower price than a mac. Then you're able to install these parts a lot easier...there was some one in this topic I think, bragging about how their mac uses 1 screw to open...well guess what. mine requires you to remove ZERO screws to open it. Zero screws to add/remove hardware.
It takes more than just memory to have a good running computer - you need HD space, a good processor, a good amount of memory..things like a good graphics card will help you as well. That's not just in PCs, the same goes for MACS.
The only reason I made this post, is because everyone complained about how this topic was turning into a MAC vs PC topic...and then went on to post about how great hteir mac is and that the opinions of others do not matter to them.
I can't imagine why you would want to put an apple os on your pc...it would probably do like the rest of their programs...install things to slow down your computer. Which, is personally, where my biggest quarrel with apple is and is the thing that has me 100% dead-set on never buying an apple product...the fact that they for some reason make it so that their programs slow down & crash pcs. It's either that they want to give you the sense that your pc isn't good, or that their programmers not very good...either way it makes the apple brand very unappealing.Yep, it's illegal. To get it to work on a PC, it takes a patched .iso of the OS X Install .DMG. Editing that file in such a manner as well as using it is highly illegal.
