PC vs. Mac

[paulabn101]

PC vs. Mac ? So what's your choice? Personally I'd prefer pc, Mac are expensive, with the same price of a mac, I can get a very nice pc.

This is a warning to everyone to keep this mature and civil. The second I smell smoke this thread is gone.

Seeing how eGO is a gaming Community and games are not supported by mac the vast majority run on PC.

tiddy I totaly agree

PC fo' sho'

PC for gaming MAC for creative things, that's what they were made for.

I'm still using Coleco's Adam Computer. You'd be surprised just how versatile basic really is.

If mac would drop the computer hardware (keep the ipods and iphones, etc), support gaming like it's a religion and work with more vendors for drivers then I'd be all over the Mac OS.

 

[Frazar]

both work fine now... it all matters on what i need to do. Game= PC and Art= Mac... simple as that.

Exactly.

Also... A lot of the wires on that PC could be removed via wireless mouse, keyboard, built in webcam, etc.

I would go with a pc if your into gaming like myself or you could be like my brother just useing the mac for like art someone said, since that's some of the stuff he does.

As said before it depends on what you are trying to do, and overall macs are not better than PCs their hardware is pretty much all the same. I do a lot of gaming so i personally prefer PCs

Honestly, I have to say that the whole "macs are good for art" is a rather large amount of crap. It is well documented that a 500-750$ windows based dell gives the same, if not better performance common programs such as photoshop.

I wouldn't have as many problems with mac's and apple in general if they didn't try to insult my intelligence constantly, and didn't have such annoying fanboys

 

[BlackJoker]

PC.

Because I can customize the living hell out of it. lol

 

[TahoE]

IF you are more about gaming and that kind of stuff stick with PC. School/Work and Creative stuff then i would hit up the MAC. I have both... Mac for college, and PC for home gaming and AutoCAD projects.

 

[e MpTy]

This has been done to death world wide and everyone has responded to it at least one, no need for another useless tophic leading into a never ending debate/conversation about pc vs mac.

Its about the same as "Do you like Pepperoni Pizza or Pinapple Pizza" everyone has different taste and some like both Pepperoni and Pinapple.

The Mac OS is so sexy... like someone said before if they added more support for games I would be gone from Windowsdom forever and ever.
But until then, Vista is fine.
Is it just me, or do Macs handle multitasking better? I feel bogged down if I have 7 or 8 programs up in Vista but can have the same on a Mac without any hangs, but then the Macs I've used were Art lab computers so they were top of the line.

 

[malalla]

the reason i dont buy mac because not every thing is compitable with mac

 

[Jimmeh]

Macs are not as good for gaming. End of story. PC is better, because Computer's were made for gaming. The creation of the micro processor was so that the computer could play Chess, without having a building the size of a hospital to do so. End of story, computers were developed for games, they are what drove the advancement. And to make a computer that is no good for gaming? It's like a crime against humanity.

It's like making a playstation that doesn't play...

Mac ftw

With a mac you can run crossover and you can run pretty much any pc game, I have CS:S the sims 2 and tf2 installed and they work fine, you can also install windows via bootcamp or Vmware or something of that nature, also macs do run multiple programs better, because when it is not being actively used mac put the applications in a sleep mode of sort, unlike windows.
