Mac's are equipped with Mac OSX, an opertaing system that isn't NEARLY as resource heavy as Windows.

There are still PC's out there that have PROBLEMS running Windows.

It makes you wonder why a company like GOOGLE is now making Mac or Linux computers MANDATORY for employees.

Oh yeah, and Apple just surpassed Microsoft in market cap! lololololololol So hilarious to see Apple worth more money than Microsoft..

Every now and then with no programs running it will spin up and sound like its going to blast off. It has pretty decent specs so I'm not sure what is wrong with it.

Automatik;377562 wrote:Yeah, I found that hard to believe at first. I went from Tiger straight to Snow Leopard and timed my reboots.....significantly faster.

I feel that most people that get on Macs or Mac users have never really used one. Just like the "Mac nutswingers"...they jump on the anti-Mac bandwagon when they actually don't know shit about them except that they cost more. I know....I was one of them. If OSU didn't office the Apple discount, I'd probably be typing this on another shitty Dell right now.

Speaking of new laptops....my dad has been looking for one. He basically just wants it for web browsing and managing his iPod. I was thinking going the netbook route, but I'm not sure on the HD space and how they run with iTunes. Hes also a fan of Skype and video conferencing.

Coming from someone who builds their own computers and does multiple things that most computer users don't do, Macs just flat out suck. I never felt more insulted using that stupid OS X. It's like a user friendly version of Linux with a giant price tag. They try to make it so "retard friendly" that its hard for people like me who are actually trying to use them for more than email and word processing.

I empirically proved PC's > MAC's that was the entire point of this thread.

Thanks for playing.
