I'm so sick of people telling me macs suck. Macs rule. What kind of computers do you think created halo? You think it was 100% PC??? I wouldnt doubt that, if put to a percentage, the majority of computers used by Bungie employees are mac. I'm not about to go bash pc's, because i think there is a lot of good to say about them, but enough with all the crap being dumped on macs from people who have never even worked with them! Go boot up a new G5 and I dare you to tell anyone that macs suck. I dare you.

yea man im with ur there, altough i got a pc myself, macs are ok with me. good for media -blam!- and whatnot. the fact that viruses arent made for macs is also a plus.

>KaPING<

is this thread viable? in anyevent. i must agree.

im sittin here on my new POWERBOOK G4(new meaning end of summer, when the alluminum 1ghz came out). complete desktop replacement in notebook form. man this thing owns. best computer ive ever had and used.

usually the people who diss apple dont know anything about them or their products. the red vs blue parody mentioned above.....the only thing TRUE he mentioned was an icon bouncing up and down. MACS are good, even better, for everyday use and things. not just media.

Macs are frakin awesome! I love them a lot, but i also do like PCs (hey you know PC stands for Personal Computer, so technically macs are PCs) I have a dual 2 Gig processor G5, and it eats PCs (as we know them) for breakfast. Anybody like windows? well guess what I will dis windows, because it deserves it, windows is the shantiest OS I've ever used, Apple's OS X is incomparably better than Windows, PC's just have all the games.

Macs only suck because nobody makes games for them. They're good for video editing and stuff, but so are PCs, so macs are a waste of money.

PC's are horrible for video editing, ever hear of FInal Cut Pro? Countless Box-office movies were made with it, and it's Emmy winning. and I'll have you know that Halo was originally going to be out for Macs, only until Micro$oft Bribed them to make it exclusive to Xbox for a long time.

Also the Xbox 2 will use PowerPC processors.

I don't hate PC's I hate windows and the PC users that Hate Macs for no reason, they think it's their duty to hate macs just because they like PC's and just because they don't know how to use them.

everyone is missing the point of why Macs are better than PCs, its quality over quantity.

Go boot up a new G5 and I dare you to tell anyone that macs suck. I dare you.


I have, and you are right the G5 doesnt suck. However, I build pcs as a hobby and i know for a fact that the G5 isn't the fastest or most powerful computer. In fact, the European Union and some other place is suing apple for false advertising. Frankly, although macs, in general, are better for media editing/creation, they are simply unnecessary. The world doesn't need macs because everything a mac can do a pc can as well. The software and hardware compatibility and upgradability of the pc obviously makes them more practical and useful. The top of the line PCs are still faster that macs, and even when they aren't they are always, yes always, more bang for the buck in terms of performance and compatibility ect. I'm tired of typing in this forum for apple fanboys. Maybe if apple invented an efficient method of typing faster and more accurately they wouldn't be irrelevant in the computer business. It's funny and true. Macs, except G5, suck. they suck. yeah that's right they are for ignorant people who want to believe that there is a viable and reasonable option to PCs.

im completely aware of that fact but i was talking about othe movie editors

and by the way the only reason the macs have easier to find editing software is cause all they can do is edit stuff

um did u read my post.... ur obviously just using macs cause if u look for pc editors they're good for that and if u have a good graphics card they're good for a heck of a lot more than macs(well more than the amount that they can do more than macs right away)

>KaPING<

wow. pitbull...HOLY IGNORANT.

look at the OS of mac compared to the OS of microsoft. mac equals more secure, stable and easy to deal with. look at the fact that the SAME COMPANY makes the COMPUTERS aaaand the OS. which is one reason for the higher price of macs.

like mentioned before. QUALITY. the ONLY thing PCs have UP on macs is TONS of IRRELIVENT software, all those free little crappy games and whatnot. the newer computer games are going to both MAC and PC. PC is just cheaper so its the mainstream.

everybody. go to www.apple.com right now and look at what they have available. you will find the BEST notebooks on the market, think more in terms of HOW WELL they work together, and less of the numbers, even then apple has been upgrading all their computers. i dont think youl find anything below 1ghz.
