    if you spend 2,500 on both and see what you get. It is not comparison

    Once again, you act as if every PC does not come with virus protection, good warranty plans etc..

    You are comparing one company (Apple) to several that make PCs. Windows PCs is a open platform that many companies can license and use- some offer good products, others do not. Much like android it is up to the user to do his or her research and spend appropriately.

    If you spend equal money on both, you can get more out of a PC- better processors, ram, graphics card, software add ons etc.. but of course since you grew up using your moms PC from Sam's Club it cant be true

    Cool, where are your FACTS?

    And Lol at saying PC has better processors, ram, GRAPHICS CARDS (that's like what a Mac was built for), sotftware... You truly couldn't be more wrong.

    I still see no facts, just you spewing BS you know absolutely nothing about. Keep it coming.

    The frick do you think I do for a living?

    Nope, people like you compare a 2,500 mac to a $600 office max PC. Spend equal money on both and the PC trumps it every time.

    Apple fanboys claim to be informed but are really the most ignorant

    On pure performance, I 100% agree with you.

    But...

    What is the value of each one after 5 years? Because the Macbook Pro will still be running and will have a much higher resale value...fact.

    And the form factor for Apple and the nearest competitor isn't even close. Apple products are top notch. The macbook pro is thin, not plastic, and very very light for its performance capabilities.

    In today's society.. You get what you pay for.

    I promise the people that bash Macs have NEVER owned one.

    Trust me, I was a PC fanboy hardcore until I got my Mac that hasn't messed up once in 2 years.

    The fact that you keep saying "PC" like that's a single thing shows that you don't know what you're talking about.

    An introductory $1000 Macbook is going to beat a $400 generic storebrand PC laptop every time. WHen you compare a $1000 Macbook to a $1000 PC laptop, you are getting more bang for your buck in terms of specs and performance with the PC every time.

    Do some homework.

    PC is easier than saying Windows.. Do you see your link "PCmag.com"

    Also if you pay $1000 for each, you still have to pay and keep paying for virus crap on a PC which makes it cost more money.

    Is it I don't know what I'm talking about or is it you disagree? Because I promise I know what I'm talking about.

    Buy a $1000 pc and a $1000 Mac.. Come back in 2 years.. Your PC is worth $100 while the Mac is still worth around $700

    The best part about guys like him is that you and probably felt the same before we got a chance to actually use macs on a regular basis.

    Bro probably gets sick FPS on counter strike though.

    I do web design, IT work and click ads for multiple companies and I get 15 PCs for every 1 Mac.

    That registry file that Windows works off of is so easy to manipulate and is pretty much programmed with bugs.. They do this do you have to BUY virus protection.

    I could go on and on.. And yes, I was just like this guy and anti Mac until I bought a Mac

  • Yeah people that hate on mac only hate to make themselves feel better

    You can do internet research and find anything to support either side

    All i care about is my own opinion and mac's are so much better for me, im not worried about convincing anybody else

    No one can build anything close to a Macbook Pro or Ipad. Apple isn't exactly trying to compete in the desktop market, so that is an irrelevant argument from the pc/windows supporters.

    Custom PC's will always be better for high-end gaming and graphics, but Apple isn't in that market.

    I prefer desktops. I could probably build a laptop for right around the same $$ that would dominate a Mac.

    People need to understand... Apple makes a killing by overpricing their products, and people eat it right up.

    People also need to understand that buying a PC from a store is going to make you have an average PC that won't last you 5-6 years.

    You couldn't build something that even resembles a Macbook Pro. Not all "laptops" are in the same class (size, weight, style). I have an 15", 8lb lappy that would blow the new Macbooks out of the water, but Apple isn't trying to compete with it. It requires a laptop cooler, has terrible battery life and is a pain in the ass to carry around.

    People need to understand... Apple makes a killing by overpricing their products, and people eat it right up.

    Sort of. Apple products have a really strong used market and retain much of their value. There is also a price for reliability (which I am beginning to favor instead of pure power as I get older).

    People also need to understand that buying a PC from a store is going to make you have an average PC that won't last you 5-6 years.

    Agreed. I preferred to build many of my own desktops. I would still enjoy doing it if I had more time and still played games.

    People need to understand that 100% of Mac users in this thread used to build our own PCs. It's not a special talent that you have.

    And again, any PC you build runs windows, which is a dumpster fire of an OS. So how exactly would it "dominate" a mac? Run hypothetical benchmarks faster?

    You act like I don't like Mac as well. I love Mac. I'm just smart enough to know that they are overpriced, and I can build a superior PC that runs Windows for cheaper.

    If you want to continue your "Mac is greater than all" ignorance, so be it.

  • I'm a laptop dude.. My PC building days are over.

    That's the thing.. You have to BUILD a PC to make it better instead of it being beast mode straight out of the box.

    Anyways, I'm done arguing about this because some will not agree... Plus, did you guys read the thread title, it says "Apple FANBOYS please post".. Well, the fanboys came and you shouldn't expect anything less than some good, old fashioned flaming of stone aged computer users.

    I used to run that, let it tell me all is clear, and then run Spybot and it would find a hundred or so things MSE missed. Not impressed. Like Les says, better to just sidestep the whole problem.

    Probably just cookies. No problems here although I use an adblocker. I look at a ton of pron as well. Apples are for people that don't know their ass from their elbow.

    Why? because it works perfectly straight out the box without having to add one single add on or update?

    Anyways, I'm out this thread.. No one will ever agree.
