| 396926 | 2005-10-17 21:16:00 | I have seen some of my photoshop files opened on a kick-arse mac in a print shop, I created the files in photoshop on a PC, they opened them up in the same version of photoshop but on a mac, not only did my PC open the 100+Mb files faster but rendering another background on my PC takes around 30seconds to 2+minutes on the mac. And if you are just a general user you will get better value for money out of a PC. As Metla has suggested if you add NOD32 you will have no security issues either. Unless you can quote the spec's of each machine, that is pretty mush useless imformation. It's like saying a ford is faster then a holden only to find out the holden is a base model and the ford is there top model |

| 396928 | 2005-10-17 21:50:00 | Better off compareing the price rather then the specs. Both Saf and I don't agree and if your argument only runs to LMFAO,then I think our argument is won. |

Apple quoted customer fluff pieces are a joke,worthless and weak, Not worthy of anything more then mockery. To say that most users tasks are so lightweight that you should spend double on an under-powered Mac is madness. And Mac specs and workrates will always be less then a PC, so to compare specs is reduntant, See what you get for your money and then hit them up side by side. $2000 PC VS $2000 MAC, hell, lets swing it to Apples favour, $2000 PC VS $4000 Mac, The PC will still crush it,Kill it, and deficate on it. |

| 396931 | 2005-10-17 23:51:00 | Symiggy's just gotta face the facts, that Macs are only for pretty boys and those other users that simply don't know better. Eg, just because Macs are purportedly a little less susceptible to virus and hacking damage, does that mean you never go out onto the harbour unless you're in a bloody navy frigate? |

| 396932 | 2005-10-18 00:01:00 | I have owned both platforms. Macs are nice as they are a complete package, all the hardware and software just works out of the box. I would recommend one for my mother who just wants a computer to do her work on. PCs have so many damn things that can be configured. If they were cars the Mac would be a Rolls, the PC would be some tacky boy racer car that goes 'pish' when they change gear, and a dash with engine management gadgets all over it. The fact is however that I gave away the Mac to a loving home and only use PCs now. Guess it's because my frankenstein PC is super fast and I deep down like tweaking the thing constantly.... so don't go thinking I'm a Mac fanboy, I just can see the appeal of Macs to some people. |

| 396933 | 2005-10-18 00:07:00 | Bloody hell, Greg . :groan: I am absolutely certain that a lot of "pretty boys and those other users that simply don't know better" use PCs, too . The difference between Apple Mac computers and IBM PCs is that they are different . That's it . That's all there is to it . WHY DO PEOPLE PERSIST IN THESE STUPID SLANGING MATCHES? What people use first will usually be their preference . It's the one they can use most naturally and easily, (or "least" unnaturally) . Symmigy: Your relatives like the Mac . They're used to it . If you are used to the PC, you are not obliged to change . Agree to differ . ;) |

When there is over a thousand (or 2) dollars difference i think its safe to say there is more to it then they are just different, If you got the same capabilities for the same price then thats all it would come down to,whatever floats your boat . What sort of person would recomend you spend more and recieve less? Probally the sort of person that quotes marketing fluff as a rebuttel . . . . . . |
