I agree with Vinny for the most part, the great thing about a mac is you don't have all of the virus problems you get with p.c.'s. Most of them are designed to attack p.c.'s not mac.

I have had both. My last one I bought is a Mac do not think I want to go back to PC, but that is my opinion. I love my Mac.

Once you go Mac, you never go back.

My first computer job was programming whirlwind 2 in the early 1950. The job required small hands and as a child plugging in patch cords to program a block of memory required about twenty minuets. Then when I was seven I worked with Dough and Nancy Berringer on data compression which I adapted from writing code used in spy novels...where a book page and word number set described a word of translated code. The compression method is in use extensively in computers today. After years of struggling with PCs, Microsoft and a heap of IC studies, I retired to the Shangra-la Bliss of Mac notebooks. I feel like a kid again...and it runs on Linux like OSX which vaguely reminds me of UNIX also left behind. Everything before Mac required lots of work to keep it going.

I'm a Mac guy, I got the first Mac a 128k computer that still works. I have had several sense have never had a virus and other than a couple hard drives not much else to go wrong. I know if your a gamer you might want a PC, or if you have to bring homework home from work that use PC's. Although new Mac's can run windows also, so why would you want a PC, cost but you get what you pay for.

Well this is a can o' worms..

I use PC but I use a PC because I like to work on them, its a side hobby for me. I also like PC because there's much more software and hardware available for them. Technically speaking, probably the MAC is better but I remember years ago when betamax and VHS was the war of the times, Betamax was clearly better but VHS won the battle because more manufacturers we building them (there's more to it than that)

I also believe there's a certain status that rides with owning a mac and having that little glowing apple showing at starbucks. The Yuppie Syndrome.. I put Mac in the same class as Prius and Global Warming. Not all bad but not my style.. I hear Macs are the best for graphics but that was some time ago..

Many years ago I got a Mac because I'd heard they were so easy to use that even elementary school kids could use them.
I kinda learned how to work it and never went back. I've never had a virus and I do think the graphics are better. Years ago I liked the little apple. It wasn't a status thing - it was just cute. In those days the apple was striped with colors. Oh, why did they change that little guy? itsmee

I bought my laptop at Fry's Electronics when I was attending college in Costa Mesa. I bought a nice pc, but kept having a problem with it. I brought it in a few times and different employees told me to this or that, but eventually the problem got worse. So by the time I brought it back it was past the 90 day warranty. But the manager checked it out and found out the hard drive was faulty. He replaced it with a better computer than I had before, I was impressed with their customer service. They really stand behind what their products.

MAC is awesome, forget about PC , it has so many great programs that a PC doesnt, so much advantages. not going to list :]

I have a Mac, but use PC programs on it. Is there any advantage to actually buying a PC?
