Mac or PC
 

So I'm curious as to what you all think and prefer when it comes to computers.

Are you a Mac or a PC? And why did you choose whichever of the two you chose?



I'm a Mac and just love using my Macbook Pro cause I find it's a lot more user-friendly, faster, and aestetically pleasing. :3
I also love the way graphics look on it, and just how it works overall. (:



Now, what about you?

PC please. ^^ It's much simpler and has much fewer compatibility issues.

I prefer a Mac, simply because it is easy to use and fairly sturdy and reliable on the whole.

I have used PCs most of my life though and my next big leap is going to be getting a Macbook Pro in a few weeks. Having said that, PCs are getting fairly more reliable in terms of ease of access, being user-friendly, etc.

Since I use my computer mostly for games I basically have to pick Windows over Mac. Since most companies make the games only for Windows.

Yeah, I think that's another reason a lot of people choose to get a PC because it's cheaper. But Macs are also having less compatibility issues as well as video game companies are starting to realize that a lot of people use Macs as well as PCs. :3

I have a Mac and personally love it. If you want to do gaming you can split the hard drive and get a dual operating system but i personally have no problems with using OS Lion.

I'm a PC and it's mostly because if my PC blue screens, I can fix it easy (or one of my friends can), if a Mac dies, it dies (for the most part) and then you've got to send it off to get it fixed.

Yeah, but as long as you treat all computers you use well, Macs live longer better lives. >_>;

Also: So excited! Going to finally upgrade my Mac to at eh OS X Lion today or in one of the upcoming days! <3

I have to say
I have a mac
and I absolutely hate the damned thing
i don't know what to do when it screws up
i can't open certain programs at the same time
I'm used to a PC
but I think it varies from person to person, how it would work
i used to love working with Macs so I was like "LET ME GET ONE"
bad idea.

PC; Rinni needs her right-click, dang it. XD

Once I switched to Mac, I never switched back.
My PC was constantly inundated by viruses and keeping my software updated was a pain.

I find Macs easier to navigate. My Mac has also lasted me without an issue for the last five years.
My PC died within two.

I have an asus g73 right now and this thing is the epicness itself. It looks cool and has less or more the same specifics than a macbook pro. I have classmates who have a mac, and they paid 400 to 600 euros more than me. plus i have a very good cooling (max temperature I got was 52 degrees after gaming for about an hour).

The only major downside of this thing is that it's barely portable and weights a ton.It also takes some time to start up and shut down.


(about macs who don't crash: the first computer to crash in our class was a mac(only 2 months old). It wasn't anything serious, luckily, but I think the girl lost her progress)

I love my PC, I built this computer and the one before it and they both lasted me 10 years (or close to it). It's sturdy and forgiving. :)

PC because you can do so much MORE.

PC just because I know how to build my stuff from scratch cheap and great for gaming.:D

Yeah, PC is good for building, but I like the Mac for its reliability and versatility....also its easy user interface.

meh... i tried to use a mac... it made me think... =(

I love my mac, i've dropped it a few times, with no damage 0-0 but i also like that it is a lot more user friendly than pc's (at least for me) and it is a lot more reliable. my old pc, i would try to rip a CD, and the whole thing would start rattling. It got to a point where i had to hold it on the desk or else it would rattle itself off! And about the compatibility thing, i got microsoft office for mac (it's pricey but worth it!) and that's what i do my online school work on so my teachers can access it. it's kinda bad though, b/c it's gotten to the point to where I hardly know how to use a PC anymore... :\

I love my PC from HP

love my HP laptop... desktop i own a Acer that i severely upgraded to my specifications... what can i say im a hardcore gamer and i love tinkering my pc

PC all the way

my big thing with all this is that if you use a Mac you can go straight to a PC and understand it (for the most part). If you use a PC however, it takes a bit to get used to the Mac. And the mice do "right click", but not quite the way you think it is. Have to use two fingers...at least on the touchpad for the MacBooks.

I tried to use a Mac once and i got confused... sorry im way to used to a windows pc to try to use a Mac...

I used to think that, but it's actually lot easier to get used to than you think. After the initial "shock of it", it is easy to switch between the two.

I myself am a PC. I use my PC for gaming and video editing mostly, beside web browsing and other small tasks like that. I also love to be able to customise and tinker with my PC. building, upgrading and even repairing is a hobby to me. While Macs are arguably better for Video/photo editing, they're not ideal for gaming, or tinkering

If you just want something that works, looks good, is simple to understand, and don't mind extra cost for that I would recommend a Mac. I definitely don't have anything against Macs, they just don't suit me

The gaming community is slowly starting to include Mac, I know Blizzard has a Mac platform.

I wouldn't go out and say macs are bad for gaming, like a lot of people like to say. They simply don't have a game library that can compare to that of the PC. Though, as you have said, that is changing.

I think I'd still be a PC if the Mac did share all game releases, as a PC is far simpler to upgrade yourself to keep up with the demands of modern games

I would say that that doesn't quite apply in all circumstances. In fact, Macs are becoming easier to upgrade. The only difference being that most of the work has to be done by someone at an Apple Store due to the fact that they are a bit secretive and unforgiving to those who dare to attempt the upgrade themselves.
