Forums - PC Discussion - Are macs really better then pc's?

When you do a price/performance comparison how well does the mac fair? I use both and to be honest i dont notice that much a difference between the two and both have their problems. Both were about the same price, same age, both are actually basically new. So do you think it is worth it?

Yes Mac's are better.

What the hell is this thread.

A mac is just a pre-made selection of hardware together with a frame and an operating system.

If you're talking about the build quality, Mac's are tied for first place with Lenovo Think pads.

Operating system is a personal flavor, you cant say either is better than the other.

Price versus performance Macs are dead last.

There you go.



Macs are very chique.



Tease.

Not in the slightest, Apple products are always severely overpriced for the performance they deliver.

there is something about macs that just makes people want to buy them.



PC are hands down better than MACs.

Most people only buy MAC or other Apple products cause they are the 'COOL' thing of today and having it is a style statement.Showing off.No wonder iPHONE sold so well even though it had nothing



If bang for your buck is the goal, Mac is a no I think. PC's have better price/performance ratios.

The iPhone is still one of the best smartphones out there, even with all the ones that followed its release. I have no interest in getting one, but I'm not going to deny it's an excellent device.

 

As for Mac vs PC? I honestly don't know what to say. PC laptops sort of suck ass, to be honest, but Macbooks are all built to be incredibly efficient despite lacking the power of their PC laptop counterparts. I honestly look at Macs like Nintendo systems; they're built extremely well, a bit overpriced considering their components, but they'll treat you well and last a long time. I look at PC's like Sony/MS systems; they're not that well built and they won't last that long, but they'll throw as much power as they can at you in comparison to what you'll pay for them.

 

That's not to say all Macs are well-built, you're still going to have problems on occasion, but on the whole they perform nicely.
