Ok, I just need to know, What is the big deal about Apple Computers? I mean everyone I know own one now,

Does anyone own one here? How do you like it?

In my opinion I like a regular PC better, It has interchangeble parts and stuff that Mac's dont have.

Well, alot of my friends own Macs for Video purposes or just surfing the internet...But if you want to play games AND surf the internet...Its best to get a PC or something...

MACs to me are retarded...they have one mouse button...the entire mouse itself!!

I say, get both.

So..I did. XD

The Macs are good for editing music,video, etc..stuff like that. They're not so good for games and downloads.

IT could be this... New mac laptop

A lot of people get the idea that mac's are immune to viruses, spyware, and all of that. I don't think someone could be more lulled into a false sense of security than mac users...

I'm sure you could probably find some pretty good apps that work on PC's for editing video, music, etc. I've found tons.

Macs don't do so well if gaming, but now that you can put an intel processor in them you can run windows and play games and all that stuff.

I don't see whats so great about macs from my point of view (Heavy Gamer).

Yea, the Macbook looks pretty interesting, but I still dont like mac's very much, Im going to have to start learning how to fix them and stuff considering im probobly going to get people comeing in with them,

Other than that I think there going to come out with a new mac for the gaming savvy people, from what I here they have a pretty good gaming mac out there somewhere.

Too Late...

On Tech TV theyre coming out with a Mac Fragbox...Retail price staring out at 800$. Comes with 2 AMD Athalon dual processors, 1.11GB of RAM, A 512 Dual Nivida Graphics cards, and a motherboard that can slap your momma...

Fragboxes are great...but running on a mac probially isnt a bad idea...its cheaper as well

Fragboxes and Alienware compys are too overated...so are Dell's :: Shivers ::

You should go with a coustom fragbox...just buy yourself a fragbox tower with all the compoments listed for fragbox motherboards...not only is it cheaper if you build it yourself, but its alot more worthwhile...I dunno, I just feel more accomplished if I build my PC's myself

I know what you mean by feeling accomplished about building your own PC, I felt great when I finally turned on my custom built machine for the first time.

I should just get an old I-Mac or something just to try it out, lol

All the computers at my school are Macs. The idea is to get you too be really familiar with them so you buy one when you get older, but I still don't get it. I mean almost everything as far as businesses is PC.

The newer Mac's that run Mac OS X are a unix based computer so most people who do verious types of programing languages use the command line in it, most people who need to do movie quality such as lord of the rings seeing most of those movies are done on iMac's which are a minimum of 2k each you use Mac's. I'm a programmer so in my house I have 3 PC's that I use to make sure my PHP/MySQL programming is working on both platforms. I then have 2 Mac's and about to get a new Mac Laptop.. So yea.. Mac's in my opinion are awesome.

Let me tell you why people get Macs. In Computer and Gamer fashions.

You see, Drizzt, the Mac to a computer person is basically like an Atari to a Gamer.
You know it's a peice of shit, outdated to the extreme, but it's just amuzing to play.

I currently own 3 now

I see what you mean....but every time I play Battle for middle earth on it, it closes for apparently no reason...It runs great for about an hour...but then just *BBLLEEEEEEPPPP* Fucks up in a matter of ALWAYS 3 hours of playing....

Macs to me are better used in editing software and buisness....Windows for gaming, and Lynux ( Did I spell that right...?) for all those 'perfect programmers' who can figure out problems by looking at a random 1 and tell "Oh shit...thats a bug..."

But thats just me....Im running on Windows ME on my compy now...its bug city...
