PC or Mac ?
« Reply #30 on: November 20, 2006, 08:23:01 PM »
Can someone explain what a Mac can do that a PC can't do better/cheaper?

A PC can dual boot ( been that way for many, many years)

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a PC can do anything that a Mac can do, it's less expensive, has more options for software and hardware, can be customized to an extreme degree by any fool with half a brain,

There really is not one good reason to get a Mac over a PC. There are reasons, but they are not good reasons.

I know people who tried mac and fell in love with it. Any windows stuff that you need can be done through reasonable quick emulation.

I wouldn't buy one as I don't need professional graphics editing etc. but if you're serious about photography, Mac has real nice programs for raw image editing etc.

What is it that limits a PC from having professional graphics and editing?

A PC can run windows and also Unix type systems.

The thought of being able to build a $2600 PC.. That would be a monster machine.

I bet it would have frickin laser beams all over it.

Yes, there is.  Buying a Mac makes you a metrosexual.

And of course we all know that being a metrosexual is a gateway to other things.

Toronto, I bought an iMac 24.  Cost 3K.  Yes, could build 2 very nice PC's for that.  I'm so happy I didn't.  iMac roars in Aces High.  I love the interface because I use Windows only for AH.  Can't say enough good about it.  I got mine with the big nVidia card and 2gigs of memory.  Also, no more tower.  No more noise.  No more bulk.  I'm glad I bought it.

Regards,

hap
