Ignorance...

What a pc makes better than a mac???

mac runs windows as well..... so what exactly more i can do with the PC? i don't get it..

If someone has the bucks is better to go with a mac it's simple.

better battery (for laptops) better design runs both apple and microsoft os.. and most of of all ULTRA SILENT (for me this is priceless)

The difference is that all that comes with an extra cost..

For general use and games and such, I'd prefer the feel of the Windows OS as opposed to OS X. Now I certainly don't mind Macs, but as one who would rather spend the money to pick out the parts and put them together myself, Mac doesn't have much appeal to me. Outside of Final Cut and Compressor on campus, I don't think I'd need a Mac since the other programs I use are from the Adobe suite and they work on both (including Premiere and Encore to make up for the lack of Final Cut Pro and DVD studio pro).

For the other forum viewers that are reading that post, note that is how you express your opinion without sounding like an unreasonable Mac or Windows fanboy.  Thank you IllegalPaladin.  Btw, what is illegal about your Paladin?  I can't help but wonder.

PC for gaming. Mac for everything else. :)

The fact that you don't have to spend three times as much for a comparable product?

I could buy an entry level Macbook, for example, with a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo, integrated graphics, 250 GB HDD and 2 GB memory for 1100$.

Or, say, this ASUS for the same amount of money: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220566  Faster CPU, more memory, descrete graphics, more HDD space, bigger screen, and so on.

Or, for the same entry-level type of specs, probably around 650$.

Or, for the price of an entry-level iMac with Core 2 Duo and integrated graphics, I could build something with more HDD space, a quad-core CPU, and a powerful video card... and probably costing less as well.

Macs are so overpriced.  There's no use taking it up the pooper from Apple just to use baby's first OS, lol.

Also, fun fact:  Macs are PCs, they just aren't marketed as such.

so on means battery? so on means built quality? why do you compare an entry level cheap product..
macs are smth elegant.. you should compare the prices of a Sony Vaio instead or smth in the same class (if it exists)..
and of course in 1 year try to sell the macbook and your Asus and let's compare the prices.. lol

"so on means built quality?"
Why don't you provide some stats that Macbooks are "superior built" to other laptops.

There isn't, contrary to popular belief, any difference between the parts a Mac uses and any other PC - it's the same memory, HDDs, CPUs, video cards, and so on that any other PC uses.

"why do you compare an entry level cheap product.."
Because that's what Apple does - they take yesterday's entry-level products, slap it together in shiny white plastic, and charge twice as much as anyone else would for it.

"macs are smth elegant.. you should compare the prices of a Sony Vaio instead or smth in the same class (if it exists).."
Elegant is subjective - I think Macs look disgusting.

But, if you insist: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834117966 Sony Vaio laptop with same CPU, more memory (and probably faster memory, too), more HDD space and discrete graphics for 250$ less than the 1 000$ Macbook.

"and of course in 1 year try to sell the macbook and your Asus and let's compare the prices.. lol"
The Macbook would probably be worth more... by the fact that Apple has a monopoly over its market, so it's able to gouge prices for last week's technology. It would be representative of Apple's monopolist policies, and how much they overcharge for their products, and nothing to do with a product's quality.

They're also put together in the same Far Eastern factories. Although Jobs does sprinkle some magic fairy dust on each component, I believe.

Mm.

Well, mine would be put together by my own two hands.  Buying pre-assembled is generally a shitty idea too, lol.

This costs the same as the cheapest Macbook.

lol@anyone trying to argue that Apple products aren't overpriced
