Dude you know how many other companies do the same thing. At least Apple hires support staff in the US to help you rather than having to call Dell Support based out of India. RIGHT ON BROTHA
I love this post. The last apple computer I used was an apple 2C in 1984. LOL It cost $3,300 back then. Haven't touched one since. Did play with an i pad the other day. Its just like my kindle fire HD IMHO.
I cant believe we made it to page two without a linux fanboy jumping in. I keep a windows pc for work, because great as they may be macs have issues in many work environments. For personal use, droids phones and tablets do everything I need without the hassles and cost of windows and ios.
Got a Mac a couple months ago. It is super fast and flawless, no matter how much porn I watch hah. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
i think mac and all of apples computers are wayy overrated, and over priced, unless you need it for its admittedly far superior editing software or something similar, you are paying for a lot of stuff youll never use. the average college kid will only type papers, watch videos, maybe skype, listen to music,etc. nothing you need a mac book for. besides i use my pc for gaming so owning a mac would mean i couldnt even enjoy my favorite pass time since you know, you cant game at all on macs.
Not enough to make it a respected computer in the gaming world, not nearly enough. Go look on steam and see what's Mac friendly Edit: I just checked my steam library to see what you could play on Mac. basically nothing. No Skyrim, chivalry, Don't Starve, Fallout, assassins creed, civ 5, fable, the list goes on and on man. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I got a kindle fire HD tablet thing and I don't think there's any real difference between the ipods and iphones or tablets and stuff that apple makes. They literally are almost identical except for the software that runs on it, even then very similar.
Eh Apple OS for computers, phones and tablets I feel is a more stable OS than those on Droid or Kindle Fire. So I believe there is a little bit of a difference.
Im Not a computer expert by any means, but I've had both PC and apple, like them for different reasons. Apple (to me) gave me little issues other than game availability and high cost, and the occasional freeze. PC has everything and easily moddable. However I always get issues with PCs software or hardware. I currently have an Asus laptop for gaming and I've had it 2 weeks and got 4 blue screens. Wondering if I should return.
Macs are overpriced pieces of shit. You're not buying quality, you're buying the brand. For the price of a macbook, you could build a solid rig or laptop with specs that far exceed what Apple gives you for $2,000.
This is kind of poignant for me currently as am typing this on my 3 day old MB Air. I've always just used my work laptop PC for everything but it couldn't cope with my go pro vid-blog editing so moved to Mac. Have edited my first blog video and it's so refreshing to have something that 'just works'.
Pc mostly. I have a 2008 Macbook ($250, used) and a 2013 Msi gaming laptop ($400, refurbished and on sale. the ram died a year later so +$160 for that) I also had a Linux computer. Never felt comfortable using it over the few month I had it I think macs are ok but I can't imagine only having a mac to use, even if it were a newer model. I'd probably install bootcamp on it or vmare and I'd probably only get refurbished/used.
Nice man. I love how they are so fast all the time. I use a 2010 MacBook Pro. Replaced HD to 500GB, Maxed Ram at 8Gb and it runs like the first day I got it. Even before I put in new parts it ran fine. I love how it boots up in like 7 seconds Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Got rid of my Toshiba 4 years ago and got a Mac book Air...never regretted it for all the reasons you state. I open it, put in my password, and I'm online....5 to 7 seconds....never have bullshit software issues like windows. I don't game, only use it to access the web.... It is more expensive, but doing what I want it to do when I want it to, without pissing me off, is worth it...
It's worth noting that some Linux distributions are much more user or feature-friendly than the others. For a large sum of the distributions, I would say if you don't know code, or don't have an interest, Linux will simply eat you alive. That's the major drawback of any decentralized project really- it simply isn't at a level where it's user-friendly for those who arent technologists. Many spend a lot of their careers just searching for the answers as to how you can solve said problem cost-effectively, and without involving major third parties who would just want to centralize and shit on it.
I've always been a PC kinda guy, although I do enjoy messing around with Apple products. and....Steve Jobs was a fucking genius.
