pretty self exlanitory topic. I'd go with PC any day but I'm curious what you all think.

Face it, the Mac is a better machine. LOL

I'm a PC guy but in my line of work everyone seems to use Mac so I'm good with both.. Mac seem more people freindly.. but I still like PC

I agree with StarTrekFanatic Macs are very people friendly, yet they have a history of breaking down on people. I thinking of buying the Inspirion laptop.  Its a gaming pc

eh, gaming with a laptop can be risky, its not the best choice. plus, u need room for a usb mouse, and that kinda defeats the purpose of the laptop.

With gaming aside the Mac rocks. User friendly, secure, and great apps.

Macs are the superior unit, but PC's are my favorite because there is more to do on them, for example games and music, etc. A lot of programs don't work on mac, and that ia apples problem.

90% of the time I'm gaming on this computer.

'nuff said. :P

I use a PC basically.  It's a couple years old now but still does what I need.  I might try a Mac someday.

Actually only about 7% of computer users own apple.

In 1984 Apple had a 6% share of the small personal computer market (about 1 million computers in the US). Today Microsoft has over 90% of a large market (about 1 billion computers in the World) below. It appears Apple never got it. Gates did. "It is the operating system stupid"

Most of the limited use of Macs has been the software available.  Many games and other software have been PC only.  With Intel chips now in Macs that should start to change some.

idk, someone got the great idea to tell people that macs are better for music and photoshop, but they arent. i have this friend that has a apple laptop and it keeps crapping out on him. sometimes harddrive issues, sometime..... i dont even pay attention anymore. he has some new issue with either his lap top or his ipod every month. i keep telling him to get a windows based laptop but he doesnt want to cause he says garage band is better and there isnt a version out for windows. hes really into music so he wont listen to me. I dont think that intel chip is going to change anything.

Compare a top of the line windows comp to a top of the line mac with intel. the windows can play more file types and costs less. the mac can do less and costs more. the choice is clear....

i dont know if what i just said makes sense. i think im rambling. im sorta just typing what pops into my head.

HANG ON NOW PICARD, I said macs were superior, not better. Macs have better system, the way it is set up, but for everyday use, and gaming (which is everthing) pc's are better.
