Re: NO!! Tell me it isn't so... 1.) I can build an equivalent spec PC system for about 1/4 less of the price.
2.) I dont care about mac os. I dont need it, end of story. If your expecting me to buy a mac so I can bootcamp it to run PC games, your nuts. I would rather spend nearly $500 less on a PC, and not even have to deal with the mac.
3.) Good luck upgrading that thing. My PC that uses nearly the same hardware and cost $500 less will last more then a year.
If you reply with something along the lines with - 'But your PC cant run macos lawl!' refer to point #2. |

And sure that sucks. But as for RAM, HD, CPU, Optical what ever, ill get all of it on new egg. And also, i would love to know why people hate Mac so much? What exactly do you dislike about it?

The problem is the marketing which has caused it's users to form an irrational emotional attachment to the platform. Any anger I have regarding it is largely a result of constant belittling of other platforms "inferiority" by mac users while each new mac iteration becomes increasingly more PC like (the 20% markup and years of crap about the Power architectures superiority don't help).
At this point it is an IBM compatible with some DRM-like mechanism that allows it to run OSX.

| Please please folks! Enough with the My PC is better than your mac, or My mac is better than any PC or I can build this cheaper than that. A computer is a tool. (deep breath. hold. exhale. relax)
With regards to Combat Chuck, I agree! It is the marketing and zealots that I dislike about the mac. (I've been support to mac users for over 13 years and I KNOW about macs and their users).
It is almost elitist how mac users favour themselves. And its also immature how PC users taunt them. And the irony, which is still killing (sic amusing) me, is that Macs were considered toys and gaming machines, where PCs were tools of trade. Hmmm, macs are in the greater percentile for designers and science, where a game (quake) is what a PC is spec'd against. Would I have thought Apple to adopt intel? Rather I would have thought Apple to adopt AMD.
(insert rant about how the OS has gotten more slick and bloated...lacks self-healing features, is wide open to exploit and is still slow for the amount of memory you throw at it...and I am talking about BOTH Vista and 10.4/10.5)
If it works, if it does what you want it do, and repeatedly without problems, then so be it. If it is too much, then why buy it? |
