i have both a mac and pc, my pc is more powerful, yet my least reliable. i prefer mac. that's the reality.
Just about to buy an iMac. Gotta be done really, will hardly give you jip over a shitty Microsoft operating system anyday.
they confused the hell outta me cos im used to ms windows, but in all fairness they are actually reliable unlike windows..
ive been running the same pc for close on 4 years, dont rly have problems, the macs in school where the latest ones while i was there, always crashing and breaking.
i gotta proper PC (as in built not bought) 7 years ago... no probelms, runs fast and fine still. end of the day, cheap shitty lap tops that seem to be en vogue at the moment are giving PC's a bad name as the components have high spec numbers but shoddy quality so cause the problems that mac users love to highlight... but now apple are doing so well, thee production quality has gone down but the prices remain the same... thing i don't like about macs is apple and mac users are massivly snobby about how great there macs are!
i don't know shit about computers really but i got a sony vaio 3 years ago and apart from the time i had to reinstall windows and lost 10 gb of amazing european porn/20gb of samples loops/2 years worth of fruity looping....... i've had no trouble. in all fairness it was full of virus' and as i know shit about lookin after them i had let it mess itself up. i reinstalled windows, got a full version of avg running, keep everything tidy on it now and its fast and so far reliable. runs like a new Mercedes.
Windows fucks up more often but when it does it's easier to troubleshoot and fix. Macs fuck up less often but when they do I usually have absolutely no clue how to fix it. Also I prefer the freedom of windows.. so many more programs compatible. Ideally i'd like a mac aswell as my windows laptop to do editing tasks on and dabble in music production!
Yh man, thats what ive been planning on doing. nice big screeen. doesnt even need a computer box thing cus its built into the screen. just looks awesome. but the reason i made this thread is cus my mate on msn is saying stuff like "naaa what is the point spending that much money on it. they really aint what there worth." and that i should just get a good pc. i really wanna use logic, cus im comftable with its basics and have learnt quite a bit of tricks and things via youtube vids. so i told him that, and now hes like "you might aswell jus get cubase. its just as good if not better." but i feel comftable with logic. ive looked forward to buying one quite some time, but ive always felt bad about the cost of a imac. and now its like drowning on me that i shouldnt buy one. so thats my problems. is a mac worth it? is it REALLY better with music and creative production? hmmmmm
i am a big fan of hating apple. overpriced wank. if you arnt a complete fucktard windows is fine, its just that about 95% of the computer market share is windows so there are plenty of fucktards in that group to fuck it up and make it look bad. also did anyone see that thing about snow leopard deleting everyones stuff? nice work apple, thoroughly testing for glitches before releasing a new OS
my mate at the start of the summer bought a new macbook, and one of those big flat screens. within about a month of having it delivered he had the screen replaced 3 times, because they don't even make that shit properly. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8304229.stm this brings me great happiness, as i am gonna get windows 7 (because vista is shit, i will give you that) going as soon as i can, and i won't be having these problems!!
been on windows 7 for a just over a week and it's massively better, this laptop used to take ages to boot up with vista, 7 has tripled it's speed
thats genius. he is right tho. the best thing about apple is their spin machine, its like the iphone. biggest piece shit this decade. hyped up to change the way we use mobile phones when infact it didn't do half the things that most mobiles on the market already did. the only reason people got the iphone is because apple made you think they were so good, i had one in my hand a good few weeks before they were released and swore i'd never sell my sole to those fuckers.
pc fan for sure... but vista is wank, it was basicly made to try to keep up with mac OS flashy image and spends a lot of the processors power doinf fancy window effects... windows 7 is what vista should have been!
