I got close.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I am a little disappointed in the anticipated price-point for the Surface Pro(s) $899 and $999.

But I still want to get my hands on one in order to see if it really is an enterprise-capable tablet (which could suit a great many of my clients).

Linux has a bit of a learning curve, but it's the computer nerd's OS of choice for a reason.

WHO IS BETTER?

BILL GATES VS. STEVE JOBS


WHO HAS BETTER TECHNOLOGY?

PRODUCTS?

Edit: Thanks to member guy laramie fayard which has better processors?

PS: almost forgot.....THE MAIN JOB OF A COMPUTER IS TO PROCESS INFORMATION!



THE REAL QUESTION YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IS THIS!!!

Which of the two has done more good for humanity?

The answer is easily Bill Gates. Why?

The #1 reason is Bill Gates' Windows 95. It revolutionized how we live by getting us on the internet. He didn't of course invent the internet but if it wasn't for Windows 95 there would not have been one soul on this earth that could have experienced the internet. It changed everything about our society from how we live, work, play...the list just goes on and on.

#2 is his charity. He has donated BILLIONS of dollars to charity and to the poor with his own charity. The guy is pooring more money into AIDS research than anyone one else in the world.


Steve Jobs admitted in his book he wasn't good about donating to charities.

Also, what did Steve Jobs even do for humanity? Itunes? Really, if you look at what Steve Jobs did for the live, work, play etc that I mentioned Windows 95 did, the only notch he has on his belt is itunes.

What Steve Jobs did better than anyone one else was take an existing idea and make it better. The Ipod for example. Laptops, Mac OS.

Tablets were Apple's invention but the Iphone is just a rip off of Palm OS.

Bill Gates FTW.

Developed first retina display. First to dramatically decrease the size of the smartphones (namely the iPhone 4). iMac is absolutely tiny for the power and screen it has.

Retina is a filthy marketing term, higher ppi's existed before Apple's Retina display.

Unfortunately for the "thin" iphone 4, it never came close to the specs of other flagship phones. Other manufacturer could have easily pulled off the "thinnest" of the iphone, but they were more focused on actually significantly improving the performance of their devices.

The new iMac is nothing but an non-portable ultra book. All-in-ones are no innovation. Taking ultrabook parts and putting them in a different casing isn't hard.

Has no idea how optimization works and has minimal knowledge about technology.
I love when you guys bring up optimization.

Still has no idea what optimization is.

When it comes down to tablets and the i phone apple has something really good there.

However when it comes down to computers obviously MS dosent make the hardware but computers just roflstomp MACS in terms of spec and pricing.

I have the utmost respect for Apple and their i phone but when it comes to computers most MAC users I know just got brought in by the flashy design. If your given an equal amount of money to spend on either one the chances are the PC is going to have spec that trashes the MAC.

So it gets me to think, what am I actually paying for in a MAC that makes it cost so much more?

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

Apple release better quality, and the most upmarket products. Ignoring the prices, Apple is definitely the best.

Apple has better computers, technology and mobile devices, better OS's. MS better gaming products.

MAC

Don't judge mac computers until you used one. After I switched from a windows laptop to a macbook air (good price too), I gotta say it was a way better experience.

I do use one, frequently to edit film using final cut pro X. Don't assume that just because someone criticises MACs it means that they have never used one.

What is a "good price", better than the spec you would have gotten on a laptop? I doubt it

Your just comparing mac to mac not laptop to mac which is probably why you think you got a good deal. Your paying extra mainly for the label

I've seen these type of thread way to many times. I mainly don't care. Both have their positives and negatives.

Then please, demonstrate to me how iOS is more optimized than Android.

Not saying I agree, but just for the sake of argument: iOS is tailored for specific hardware (iPhone, iPad), whereas Android is used on a plethora of makes and models of phones/tablets. Now this isn't such a big deal because it's open source, which allows independent developers to create custom kernels and ROMs. Stock Android, however, on most devices, isn't going to run as well as iOS.

Good man. I was doing the same until I got my Nexus 4. I'm downloading Paranoid Android for it as we speak.

This is what I think, I even quite like the ipad. I do see a need in the market for all these things.

But when it comes to the mac I just don't see any clear advantages it has over the PC warranting them to have such high price tags. They are mainly used in the fashion and design industries and to edit film but even still a PC can do all these things just as well. Probably even better given all the extra processing power and ram you will get with the PC

mac fans can argue all day and night about why they think macs are worth it but in the end, a PC with the same price tag as a decent mac is going to demolish that mac in spec

Nice, how are you liking the Nexus 4? Is Paranoidandroid the ROM that runs in both tablet and phone mode? I remember reading about it, but haven't given it a test yet.
