I definitely agree, apple computers are overpriced and not upgradable. There are so many things you can do with PC as supposed to Macs. There are for idiots that don’t want to think outside the box, just use it the way Apple sent it. I just hate the way they control people with their products. Their genius tech support sucks and the hardware is same as PC but it is put together by Apple that way so when it comes to performing any changes it just makes our live harder. Another thing is that there is this kind of “cool thinking” when you using a Mac – why because it is a Mac so you have to be cool. It is just more like a trend now. People just want a little apple logo on their laptops. Security, Macs are not even close to Vista security and now Windows 7 has Vista’s security level and killer performance for instance Windows 7 64-bit with 8GM RAM, Mac is not even close. Now if I need some shell power I just fire up my Linux (on my Windows) and Mr. Mac is hacked within minutes!!!!!

Why Apple sucks BIG TIME:

1.) Apple lies! Apple is not immune to viruses!
2.) Overpriced bullshit! Hell I can do 3d animations easily on my PC!
3.) There’s too much HYPE!
4.) Hardware isn’t upgradable!

and I’d rather use Windows or linux!

Obviously the comments made by both nefan65 and notapc shows who the real 40-year-old virgins are.

Get a life. Stop borrowing money from your moms to make overpriced Mac purchases. Stop borrowing money from your moms to make overpriced Mac purchases in hopeless attempts to look ‘hip’.

Get a life. Stop constantly posting ridiculous and useless comments to justify the borrowing of your parent’s money in an attempt to look hip and justify your stupid pointless spunking of money.

@nefan65 – and you need to do all of that on a $1500 laptop? Geez, my Windows Mobile phone can do the same – connect to windows network, play music, rip CD’s/DVD’s, watch movies, run Office

Let’s talk about real stuff – development (environments, databases, servers), real productivity – financial apps, real software – graphics does run faster on PC. Mac is a good choice if you confined to occasional Word document, some browsing and some monkeying with pictures – like a bored teenager or a housewife. For real work Mac is not very usable.

Quick run down for the gamer nerds: pc 1500 bills not including monitor (alienware, firebird) spyware adware 150 repairs bout 200 (cause they still will get a virus) hd monitor (for gaming nerds) 300. Seems a lot more then a mac too me.

“On Mar 18, 2009 @ 1:23 pm, michaelct Said:

nothing is compatible with a mac. and if you want it to be you have to pay more money on top of the money you already paid that is obviously – on the average – higher than most win/pc-nb’s. whats the point? it will never be a mac world. hippies.”

LOL..Spoken like a true moron. What exactly isn’t compatible? I connect to a Windblows network, play music, rip CD’s/DVD’s, watch movies, run Office for Mac and share files with staff. Never had a compatibility issue.

Unless you know what you’re talking about, you should go back to your Mom/Dad’s basement, and continue to pirate your games and such, and leave real computing to professionals…

Perhaps this will be a mild slap in the face fpr Apple and they’ll lower their prices (wishful thinking?)
Seriously though, if Apple would sell their computers for, say, 900 bucks then they would surely monopolize the computer market again.

Get with it Apple!

What are you talking about? It’s the same exact hardware. You just got Oontzed by Apple

last time i checked pc’s and mac’s were the same hardware. clearly it is cheaper to buy a non-apple computer (”pc”) and then buy the apple OSX software and load it on that computer, which would be signficantly cheaper than buying from apple. LOL this is why apple is tied up in a lawsuit right now…. if they lose, all hell will break loose as companies such as dell, hp, etc. will kill them in sales with their own operating system. that would be the kicker of all times!!!!

LOL…What a riot. PC’s sales are up, because you need to buy a new one every couple of years; they’re a POS. Mac’s last, PC’s don’t.

Don’t get me wrong though. Thank God there are PC’s and Windows…if there weren’t, I’d be out of a job LMAO….

Obviously most of u guys are nerds cause u use ur PC’s for gaming, so u don’t know what a MAC can do. I’ve gone through 3 PC’s before I found out MAC is better. So some of u haters need to actually use a MAC before you knock it.

For a side note MAC’s make better commercials then PC.

good point. Perhaps … too good. I know I held off on getting an iMac last holiday season for that exact reason.

You forgot that the one mac for $1500 that’s three times the cost of the average PC can only use 10% of the hardware and software of the PC.

@Perspective, you are also evidently not as sharp as many others here, given the silly assumptions you’ve made. Simple thoughts from a simple mind.

I think there’s something that most everyone is overlooking. Most Mac sales continue to be to individuals and media centric people, where the PC still has the majority of the business/corporate market. The economy has had a more profound effect on individuals and some businesses are still purchasing IT.

Shut the f**k up, stop buying expensive, overrated and underperforming crap, and join the hardworking, unexpensive, reliable PC’s.

Guys we forgive you, and we welcome you back to PCLand!

Let’s just wait and see the March numbers. . .something tells me that new hardware will work wonders for hardware sales, especially since many were delaying purchases until after the refresh.

Personally, I bought a Vista desktop and a MBP last month. Of course, I’m not as price sensitive as most of you tools that live in your mom’s basement and work at VZW.

I am PC.

I am faster than Mac, can be better looking than Mac, can do everything that Mac can and a lot more that Mac can’t, have all features of Mac and some more, more reliable and have a superior OS. Oh, did I tell you that I cost 1/2 of Mac?

Yes, I am PC.

I have a Window laptop and a macbook. There are things that I like about both of them and things that I do not like about both of them. We all have to buy the pc or mac that meets our needs. What’s important to me is not important to someone else. Today after using pcs for years, I like the mac more. In the future who knows…I like what I am seeing with windows 7. I really like the netbooks, I can see adding that to the stable at some point.

In a tight economy it would be hard to put down the money for a macbook vs a pc if cost was the only criteria. If you have other criteria that drives your purchase besides price then your buying decision might change.

completely agree: due to dollars and cents==> same reason why more people would get their groceries at walmart, rather than whole foods during a recession. osx is better product (in my opinion), and whole foods offers healthier food choices (my opinion), but people get frugal.

Doesn’t matter how much they made…they still have to account for all the unsold shit sitting in the warehouses Eric and that offsets whatever profits they made by selling their 2 MACs lol…This is what MS has been championing and illustrating for a while and looks to be coming true.
