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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

What a load of shit.. where the fuck you think 90% of the ideas for vista came from?
Mod/admin close this topic this Mac bashing is pissing me off big time.
Narrowed mind pricks around here are really putting me off yet another Mac bashing site set of members.

christ the lad is allowed an opinion isnt he! he is just giving (possibly flawed) reasoning as to why he doesnt like macs - which he is fully entitled to do.

i get fucking sick and tired of people going on about how great macs are but yet refuse to listen to a pc users reasons as to why he doesnt like them, but i dont jump down all your throats do and tell you youre full of shite, so why you feel the need to is beyond me. all it does is turn a perfectly good thread nasty.

Kiddies play nice now....this is my topic beyatches.

[knedl]

Ah yes that confirms it you can't have a normal topic with the word "mac" in it without the bashing

[Mezzo]

I have used both Macs and PCs and love both for their own reasons. Ones more expensive than the other, one has a better interface.....You'll never change people's mind by threads like this.

When I was on PC, I used just about every mac software that was offered for it. None of the programs used very much resources. They never "caused a crash". I even used the Safari Beta for a while. You've got to realize that that was A BETA, it's allowed some bugs. Now please, pray tell, what programs of apple's "slowed down" your computer and "made it crash". Just for clarification, I'm not a fanboy, I just want to know what programs caused him such grief, because I never had it. Hell, I still run windows on Parallels because they've got some great software that mac doesn't.


NOW... As for the new iMac. I watched the keynote from the apple website. He kinda blew thru the iMac thing to get to iWork and iLife '08. But I did notice how he said the iMac was made from Aluminum, and SiO² (Glass). They designed and built it with recycling in mind. Yay apple for thinking "green".

[PimpMyCom]

that looks cool, I'm going to read into this abit more I'm in the market for a new mac.

Quicktime and iTunes, you can search the web and find out more about it.

Well that should be expected from Apple, Steve Jobs was part of the hippie era. I don't think he partook in very much, because that was the time he was first getting into computers. But recyclable products is where everyone needs to take their electronics imo.

At the past few people who are apparently angry with me, why do you have a problem with me talking about computers in a topic that was started to discuss...get this - computers. The topic may have broadened, but it's still staying pretty close to the original topic. But that's beside the point, you all have a problem with people discussing their opinions on the different computers, and will sit and whine, and try to bash those people? Sorry, but that will only get YOU in trouble on just about any forum.
I will step out of this topic and let it go back to what it started as wholly. Starting with what albinoAZN said about what the new iMac is made of. I'm sure we're not the only ones to think this is a good idea and probably a smart move for any company to make.

LoL who would of thought the new imac would bring so much trouble to one forum.

Sigh, entire thread has gotten totally off topic. It has nothing to do with software only that the new iMac was announced.

[albinoAZN]

Woohoo for Aluminum and Silicon DiOxide!

I think it looks very pretty but i agree with Donna on the wrist support thing.
