Mac is better because they don't crash, fewer if no viruses and better for those in design, music or arts fields.

It isn't. Especially now that Mac's use intel processors. It is all a matter of preference however one could argue PC is infinitely better because of the larger amount of software available for PC.

I work on computers. Contrary to what people say Macs break just like PCs do. I have a bunch of PCs and a Mac. I felt ripped off when I bought the Mac. There is no reason why a Mac should cost so much more than a PC. I am a hardcore gamer and, to me, A Mac is NOT better than a PC. Limited to what games you can run. Sure you can run Windows on a Mac that has an Intel cpu but, get a clue--when you do that youre using a PC. They use the same hardware only with a difference in the firmware some hardware runs. To pay 50% more for a Mac then pay $100s more to get software like Parallel and a Microsoft operating system so someone can turn their Mac into a PC isn't the brightest idea I've ever heard of. What computer someone gets depends on what they plan to do with it and what software they want to run. Just like you dont use a Corvette to haul dirt and a dump truck to do 140mph you dont use a Mac for gaming but may be the better choice for graphics work. Both PCs and Macs are good. This "Macs are better than PCs" is childish like "Ford is better than a Chevy" Notice how, in those Mac commercials the Mac guy never tells the PC guy that hes gonna go play Crysis on his Mac. Personally I find my Mac overpriced, slow and boring and I see nothing that makes it superior to a PC. If someone else does thats cool, doesn't matter to me what they use. This baloney that Macs never have issues thou, is total BS. Only reason I bought a MAC is to be versed with them so I can work on them and I work on Macs all the time.

LOL Ericson---great pic. Right on the money too.

in 3 years I have NEVER had to fix anything on my macs.

18 months ago my hubby's dell XP fried the motherboard for no reason at all. Replacing the motherboard was easy enough though costly.

My macs play 700 games, but I only play a couple of favorites.

My windows machines are always taking $$$$$ out of my pocket.

My macs, like my car, just keeps working working working etc.

It is superior as a paperweight. Or a doorstop. Or a tool that you can use to shop online for a PC.

Macs have a much higher level of security, and there are virtually no viruses for them. Macs do not "bog down" over time. Installed programs can be completely removed. They are more sleek looking, they out perform most equally valued PC's and they are the choice of professionals.

Most viruses are written for windows since the majority uses Windows and not MAC

I love the guy that said they out perform PC's that are priced equally.  Do you have any idea how much of a powerhouse PC you could build for the 2 or 3 grand you pay for a Mac?  It would leave any Mac in the f-ing dust.

The reason why you shouldn't buy a Mac?  Because everyone who posted here for Mac listed "because its cooler" or "because its sleeker" as a reason.  They have been overwhelmed by hippy marketing.

Macs are also not any better than a PC for "art" or "design" as there are more programs for this designed for PC's then Macs.

And as far as Viruses and Security go, "Security through obscurity is no security at all."

Wow, this board is littered with stupidity.  Your husband's operating system fried a motherboard?  Really?  Even though that is physically impossible?  That is amazing.  The other day, my couch raped my dog.

Hi there

You asked a fair question.

Some would say that a computer is a computer... A rose by any other name... But the difference is in the details.

Apple designs all the Macs to work with their operating system (Mac OS X) and all other hardware and software.

They're easier and safer to use.

Rather than me blathering about it, read for youself why switching is a good idea. See the links below.

Hope this helps.
