I find Mac kind of good looking but not that great support for it. PC is still the more practical choice for me.

This is the kind of thread that shouldn't be created.

And anyway the answer is Linux. ;)

There is always gonna be the PC fanboys, and the Mac fanboys. Deal with it, and respect eachother's opinion instead of saying some shitty comment about things that make mac/pc better than said mac/pc.

PC

What kind of question is this?

Well if you arent kidding, PC.

Its cheaper and more versatile in every way.

Only reason i see to get mac is for Mac exclusive software like final cut pro and other editing software.

Trust Valve!

Facebook machine vs. pc, I prefer the pc.

PC with Apple monitor. Those things own when it comes to precision.

Depends on the use.

I happen to work on Mac Pro in Graphics Design and Photography industry and there's no comparison with the PC. OS X, is so much more powerful and reliable even on the same specs as Windows machine is, that I never could work on PC anymore.

On the other hand PC is way beyond Mac OS X in terms of calculations based work, and thus for programs needing calculations and for gaming there is no comparison as Winows will always be better.

Mac/OS X = reliable, smooth work for artists

PC/Win = powerful gaming, calculations work platform

If you put form before function, buy a mac.
If you're really desperate to drop a load of cash on a brand name, buy an Alienware. They're overpriced as hell, but the hardware is usually up-to-date, and the alienware logo is even bigger than the apple one.

Actually, i just looked at the apple store. I can't believe they charge as much as they do, for such old hardware. Looks like they're charging full retail + about 30%. crazy!

PC because this is a gaming thread and I want to play the maximum number of games.

Also, PC became the name of IBM computers after they had major success with their computers and Microsoft got tied in with IBM and... well you have Google, it's too much to explain in this thread.

to choose between mac and pc, PLEASE make the correct value equation. do not just compare ram, hd, cpu specs.

put it all into the equation: the materials (case, screen, keyboard), the support, and above all your time.

if you do that, and you actually give your time a price, the winner is easily the mac, alone or with windows on it for the games if you want them (but then shame on you anyway;).

if you do that and you are on the cheap and with loads of spare time, than the winner is the windows/linux/hackintosh pc.

i have many macs and pcs (and have owned/used many computers that are neither macs nor pcs). i don't enjoy the pcs at all, i'm just compelled to use them by my company.

PC OFC LOL

Ahaha. Mac = operation system or notebook or.. what?!
Anyway buy PC. And install windows. And go play.

Windows PC - same hardware, but much cheaper

http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2009/09/02/why-are-there-no-mac-viruses/

the OS who better fits YOUR needs... in my case pc is far way better, if you use your brain you'll never get a virus (i only get a virus on my pc one time: it was in DOS times, 92 i think)...

Just pointing out that mac is the only UNIX system you can use without being a complete wizz at computers

PCs you'll get more bang for your buck hardware wise.

windows... --> games on steam over 4000 (I think)
games on mac on steam --> 359
steam : RTW gold edition --> $10
gamersgate the mac edition of rtw --> $20

and you can still upgrade your windows computer
other hardware like GPU and processors
i don't know if it's the same for mac
but eh what looks nicer these things http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/attachments/general-hardware-discussion/22339d1211446175-acer-aspire-predator-gaming-pc-acerpredatorlarge.jpg

and the alienware computers

or your light mac that seriously overpriced?
good luck with buying a new computer

why do people make these posts... its stupid when you think about it seriously... its up to the person's preference, not which is supposed "better". i use both as they both have their individual benefits and its up to YOUR OWN perspective as to what is "better"
(and i am using the term "better" very loosely) so it is a pointless question rendered mute by the fanboys of either side who obviously are going to trash the other... Mac is hands down better for editing software (as all MS based editing software which is half-decent has been ported to a mac version as well as their own specific programs) and PC is better for gaming/everyday normal person's browsing and use (while some will argue that mac is just as good, but when you think about a newcomer to a computer which has access to both, which would they find easier... PC as more people know how to use it so more can teach them)

Edit: for those wondering some of the ported it would be adobe photoshop, illustrator, etc...

PC for gaming. Mac for photo / film editing / graphic design.

The O.S. : Mac >> Win7 imo. And no, I don't own a mac so not biased.

PC cos when It Crashes I dont have to Buy a new one I can just repair it at home for fking cheap !

PC if you are gamer.
Mac if you need it for producing music etc.

PC, it's cheaper, customizable and it's gamers haven. Nuff said.
