Uhh, there's about no contest when you say that PC > Mac. It just really depends on if you're a normal computer user or a power user seeing as the MAC machines are marketed as simpler machines to use. (Power users FTW)

I currently have a PC. Mac is much more stable and does not crash.

Macx graphicx can not get as good as PC yet. and there Specs are not as high.

So it depends on what your useing it for. If u have a bussness with tons of important files.. def. go with mac.

What kind of retarded question is this? PC > Mac. There is NOTHING a mac can do that a PC can. PCs are more stable. Macs ridiculously overpriced. There is nothing good about Macs. Apple generates false hype to make sales, this works well, don't believe it.

Macs are completely praised by tech geeks from what I've seen :/
But all my life I've been dependent on regular old computers. This one from 2004 is old and nearly obsolete but it hasn't failed me just yet :p I think I'll stick with mah PC. I will say that people who have issues with PC or simply want something different can go to Mac anytime though :confused:

Everybody says Macs are better.

They say there's no viruses. I think they stupid. As I have a Windows XP with a virus protection and a firewall that takes little space! No viruses for me! Those people who switched to a Mac because of the "No Virus BS" should of saved 1000-2000$ of there money and just download a 10MB virus protection like AVG.

It's only good for art and designing, that's one positive.

I like PCs more because they're more flexible.

Sadly even PCs excel in graphics. Any graphics program that works on a mac also works on a PC, or has a better variant.

Idiot, that's because a Mac is an over expensive PC. Just get all the mac components for a huge fraction of the price and install your shitty OS on it. Ever heard of http://www.psystar.com/? Now you do.

i say pc just because mac is a bit over prised and because pc in my opion alot more reliable and faster but mac is cooler in the sense of its format

I would say mac even though i use PC. I guess Pc are more sustainable because it is far less easy to crash... Though my computers crashed before...
But if your a person who likes graphics, and is really into modern day thing the Mac would be the best even though it costs so much.

It can't run certain games.

You right for the most part.

What ever games a Mac cannot run there is a PC version.

But sense the deficiency is already implanted in the Mac OS the Windows on the Mac cannot run the game either.

Also I would like to point out one more flaw.

Almost every thing is made for the PC first.

I'm guessing this is the computer your talking about.

Impressive, it's running two quad core processors.

I don't know if you can build anything that can handle 2 dual cores yet but I'm sure if someone had enough money they could.

Anyways the PS3's cell processor is clocked at the same speed.

Also the 800 mhz ram sucks.

32 gb's of ram? Thats complete overkill.

32GB RAM FTW! :)

I went to the Apple store. Zomfg. This computer is like fast as hell. I opened up safari 20 times and it loaded in like less than 4 secs..

True. But every computer isn't perfect. Mac has some disadvantages, I will agree on that [lots of bugs]. So does Windows.

But here's a little fact. You can get your computer with Windows infected much faster than you can get a mac infected. o_O

Windows can be destroyed in less than 3 min..
Mac: Much Longer.

It is possible to build a PC at about the same speed, for much less than that.
