Discussions

I just wanted to start a new discussion not to hijack the other thread that OP had started regarding laptop feedback!  
 
FullMealDeal made a post that are just plain false!  
 
FullMealDeal said All apple laptops still run 3 year old Intel Core 2 Duo processors. YES even the "New" Mac book air. Considering intel has i3,i5,i7 processors for PC based laptops is reason enough for me not to spend over $1300 for 3 year old processor technology Apple labeled as new! The processors are dated and show their age. Only trick apple is doing is trying to dump some work to the graphics chipset to make it appear faster..  
 
(b)Are you kidding me!(/b)Apple uses Intel's Core i5 and i7 processors to the 15-inch and 17-inch models, while the 13-inch model continues to use Intel's Core 2 Duo processor.  
 
Yes the 13 inch uses Core 2 Duo but come on when is the last time you researched or actually used a mac! Been awhile from how your post reads! If you do not believe me just go to apple.com (the apple store) click on shop for mac and click on any mac laptop other than the 13 inch.  
 
Your review of a mac seems like it is 5+ years old. You may want to freshen up on them.  
 
Are you a PC or a Mac - I am a Mac and obviously FullMealDeal is a PC. We are both entitled to our opinions but I just could not have your misleading Mac post laying out there.  
 
I just like the everyday usability and ease of MACS. Yesterday I was at Hockey with my son - added ad new contact of someone on my Iphone - the minute I walked into my home network my IPAD and MacBookPro instantly changed to reflect the new contact, email, cell numbers that I added while at the rink. As well as any emails I had sent while I was out were instantly updated. Can you do this on a PC laptop? Who knows maybe but not right out the box you can't. This is just one example of why I like Macs. See below some good points on both:  
 
 
Why Macs are Better  
 
 
 
- Macs give you the ability to run OS X and Windows both (legally).  
 
- Macs work great with other Apple components such as the iPhone, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle,IPad, etc...  
 
- Macs are very simple to use.  
 
- Macs are less prown to computer viruses, although they can get viruses.  
 
- Purchasing a Mac gives you Apple Store support.  
 
- Apple uses quality parts to manufacture Macs.  
 
- Macs are trendsetting, designed well, and visually appealing.  
 
- Macs come with better software, out of the box (iLife).  
 
- Macs give you out of the box access to the iTunes Store, if you are an iPod or iPhone user.  
 
- Out of the box, Macs are not loaded with trials and additional software.  
 
- Apple has top of the line phone support.  
 
Why PCs are Better  
 
- You can build a PC from the ground up, picking each individual component. PCs give you maximum customizability.  
 
- PCs are generally cheaper in price. You can get the same processor, amount of RAM, and hard drive capacity for much cheaper with a PC.  
 
- Branded PCs are a wide market. You have many options when it comes to choosing a PC: Dell, HP, Gateway, etc... There are really only 6 types of Mac computer: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, iMac, and Mac Pro.  
 
- PCs have better software compatibility. You can find practically any software for PC. Macs are more limited in selection.  
 
- PCs generally have better backwards compatibility. You can run Windows 7 on a 5 year old PC. You cannot run Snow Leopard on a Power Mac G5.  
 
- More people use PCs. Thus, PCs have a larger support community behind them.  
 
- The majority of businesses use PCs.  
 
- PCs are better for gaming.  
 
- PCs have more compatible accessories than Macs.  
 
- PCs are more upgradable.  
 
- PCs are open source.  
 
Conclusion  
 
To compare Mac and PC... Which one is better? It's all personal preference. I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the best answer. Posted above, you can see that both of them have some great advantages. Some people like Macs better, some people like PCs better. Thus, some people absolutely hate Macs, and some people absolutely hate PCs.  
 
It's all an opinion, a preference.  
 
I will however, give you my opinion. As for myself, I'm a Mac. That's just what I prefer. I like Macs because I believe that they are simpler to use, and I like the designs that Apple comes up with. I would rather use OS X than Windows. That may change in the future. But as of now, my opinion is that OS X is a better operating system than Windows.  
 
I will say, I would not want to give up Windows though either. I use Windows with VMware Fusion just as much, if not more, than OS X. Windows 7 is a great OS.
