  1. I think you mean Mac or Pc. I suggest pc if you like games but you can dual boot so you can have a mac and play pc games


  2. If you want to play games, definitely go with dell. Be sure to get an ATI or nVidia graphics card with at least 2 GB of RAM in the dell machine. You should be able to play video games with that set up.

    EDIT: What Peter said is complete bogus. A five year old dell is obviously not going to run well... you're not buying a five year old dell so it's pointless to bring that up. And of course Macs can play runescape; runescape is a very low graphic-intensive game. If you want to play any new 3D shooters for example, you'll need a dell with an ATI or nVidia card.

  3. If you want to be fancy and not really want to do much with the program and other stuff - go for mac. PC have better compatibility and cheaper.

    What game do you like? If you thinkin..tic tac toe solitaire - go ahead and get mac. If you're thinking Crysis and other top games out there - Pc can be your best friend.

    Oh by the way. Alienware is better than Mac and most other laptop but if you cant afford that go for HP. My brother own a Dell and I own HP, his laptop crashed like 6 times in the last 2 years but nothign ever happened to mine.

    Hope that help.  

  4. I myself have a Macbook and I love it so much more than the Dell that I've had before.  When you are buying Macs what you are really buying is the customer support and OSX.  I know that my Mac can run games fine but since that was not a major thing I was looking for I didn't have to compare it to another machine (It can also run Windows).

    If games is a major thing you are wanting, get the Dell XPS laptop, it'll be cheaper and run games better.

    So in the end get the Dell for gaming or get the Mac if you plan to do a lot of other stuff and occasional gaming.

    Always upgrade RAM and Hard Drives with from third party websites like Crucial.com.  Apple and Dell will charge these for so much more where you can get it from places like Crucial for half the price and it's easily installed.

    Hope I helped!  

  5. Have you ever seen the Justin Long commercial?

    "Hello I'm a mac."

    "And I'm a Pc..."

    Go with dell.

  6. Get a Mac or Mac Pro. They can hold more RAM, hard drives, basically anything, than five dells combined could. And if you wan't to play video games, simple use Boot Camp, a tool that comes with every Mac that runs your Mac in Windows XP or Vista. Macs have been able to run Windows since the early 90s for christ's sake.

    You have have up to 32gb of RAM on a Mac Pro, the most I've seen on a PC was four, sometimes eight if you want to spend 600 dollars on a supported motherboard.

    Mac Pro is the way to go.

  7. Mac by far. Most people say it's not as good for gaming, but it's fine! I know a ton of people on RuneScape that play the new high detail version on Macs! My old (5 year old) Dell lags a ton on the new High Detail. Plus, I've had horrible customer support with Dells. I hate them so much. Go with Mac though. You will be impressed.
