MAC or PC

[Sheogorath]

Do you prefer MAC or PC and why?

[Moros]

I prefer PCs. Mainly because i have always had issues with macs freezing and dying. Our team uses PCs for everything from programing to business.

Could a moderator please close this thread? There are enough of these already!

Thankfully this is a place of calm people who don't obsess over their preferred OS. I, as one who knows when the narwhal bacons, have seen many flame wars start due to this topic.

I agree with the previous post, however, this thread should be closed. Beating a dead horse is never fun.


PC by the way. Don't like Mac's layout and their proprietary ways.

PC because you get more bang for your buck

Honestly, I see each of Mac, Linux, and Windows having their own uses. If I was doing graphical work, I'd use a Mac. If I was banging out code or running a server, I would (and do) run Linux. For general use (and gaming), I use Windows.

Said like a pro. I use Linux for programming and screwing around with code. I use windows for Gaming and more screwing around. Mac is meh.

i stick with Linux when ever i can, it runs a lot smoother and faster than (duh)windows, or, to a lesser extent, macs

Macs are overpriced.
Bad OS.
Same hardware in general
They failed
Yet they are the leading computer?
WTF
No Comment -_-

Macs are pretty, but for the computer itself PC's win. Plus macs are more expensice so it makes even less sense to get one. :/

I have a Windows 7 computer for most of my stuff, and a Linux machine for simpler stuff like Perl programming and homework. I like Linux because it's free but then there are so many problems with compatibility and gaming and stuff like that.

Macs are by far not the leading computer. Apple is a larger company than Microsoft, which is largely due to the success of iPods and iPads, but Windows is more popular then Mac.


Also: I dislike Linux, mostly because of compatibility issues, and because I'm too lazy to deal with it. I don't like Macs because I don't like the hardware and think they're too expensive. I don't like Windows because viruses.

If I had to pick one, it would have to be Windows, because I dislike it least of the three.

This what I say: You pay for what you get. My Macbook pro, while pretty expensive, has run far better than any of the cheaper PCs I've ever used, and I've used a lot of PCs.

For those who don't like Mac's layout, let me ask you this: How much time have you spent on Macs vs. time on PCs? If you actually know how to use a Mac, they are very powerful tools. They just take time to learn, like everything else.

I have nothing against PCs and Linux, and think both have their uses: PCs for gaming, and Linux for coding. IMO, I only use Mac and Linux, but that's how I do it.

But no matter the computer, we can all agree on something: Technology is awesome!

True

Anyway, I prefer Windows, simply because that is what I have learned. On a powerful computer, it runs great and plays awesome games... like CAD
(and yes, I know that there are CAD programs for Mac and linux)

Linux is amazing because it is free, I use it on my backup server and various other computers around the house. It is my parallel operating system on my netbook (because windows gets a little slow sometimes).

Mac.... well... tough cookie. I like the layout, design, and overall cababilities of these machines, however, I don't like the Apple "sealed ecosystem" that comes with them. They are also overpriced, (though you get what you pay for in customer service).

Just a little shout-out as you post. Think before you post and be respectful. Don't need to start a flame war.
