No. Mac PCs are a piece of shit. When it comes to price/performance, the Macs fail worse than an illiterate redneck in an advanced Literature course.

Macs are for people who don't have the capacity to learn basics of computing, i.e. older people and children, and that's about it.

I once spend about a week and a half exclusively on a Mac. THe whole "it just works" schtick is so absolutely false. It also has annoying defaults, like the jumping dock icons, that need to be fixed. It also had no less problems than when I was using Windows. All in all, you are pissing away your money for a product that's crap compared to Windows. Since everything is basically the same it falls down to functionality and nothing beats Windows and the amount of software it handles.

See? This is what I'm talking about. Please give us some evidence that Macs cater to old people and children (wealthy children apparently?)

Macs are great computers. I don't say they are better than Windows but they are surely not worse. This comment was just crap. You really think everyone who likes Macs likes "pieces of shit"? Apple is one of the biggest manufacturers of notebooks - are all those people just silly? Have they all been fooled by "evil Apple"? Are they not able to determine quality?

 

@Illegal Paladin: It was meant in a sense of "fast enough". And I never said specs don't matter. They do. But there are other things that matter, too.

 

@alekth: Apple's market share is quite high for notebooks. Besides that most people still favour those values, if they buy Apple or not. There are also Windows PC's and notebooks that sell on values beyond performance.
