Well, I never had a mac, so difficult to say why my Samsung Notebook is better, the only thing is that Samsung is Greener than Apple according to Greenpeace

Why PCs are better than Macs … ’cause a geek (who respects himself) can’t express himself with a mac !! MACs ARE NOT SOME GEEK STUFF!!! That’s all folks !!

1) Better recognition of devices
2) Apps provided are well integrated (iLife, iWork)
3) Less targeted by viruses and hackers
4) File management is much easier, since media files are automatically handled by iLife
5) Better memory management
6) The OS is nicer to look at and use, is more innovative and is updated more often than Windows
7) HD files are handled more easily by MacOS than Windows
Mac computers are more stylish. There’s a cool factor to the Macs.
9) You can make really nice things with iLife

Well Only reason I’m using PC is because of compatibility and softwares.And also it is fun to use new operating systems and applications with some cool features(even though they don’t useally work properly)and I think that is the reason why I use it cause it doen’t really make difference for me to use mac or pc if they share same softwares.But obiously they do not and it makes a lot of difference for users who wants more out of there PC then regular users. I’ve used mac and there is nothing wrong with it except for the lack of fixes for the operating system which crashes so often.

We only PCs in our office, so it’s better for me to use one so my boss will pay me every 2 weeks.

Get this, OSX 10.5 is Windows Vista 2.0 M$ still playing catchup after all these years. Mac rules…

Apple’s MacBook: currently ~$1200 Canadian.
Better performing PC laptop I just bought: ~$700 Canadian.

Apple’s software: reasonably technically sound, hundreds of dollars in additional cost over the system purchase price.
Open Source OS distribution such as Nexenta: technically superior (dtrace, zfs, zones, Xen, Xorg + AIGLX, etc), and comparable user interface experience, superior performance on the same hardware, free as in beer and as in speech.

Apple’s tradeoff of ease of use versus power and utility favours an older, less technically savvy generation. Recommended for aunts, uncles, and grandparents, but not to my peers. Of course, anything is massively better than Windows on a PC, which has the unique ability to hamstring any hardware it runs on and screw up the most basic underlying functionality (see: NTFS automatically re-fragmenting the hard drive for no reason).

Mac are nice, and I even grew up in a Mac household. But…

It’s the GAMES, stupid!

I remember being a young lad lamenting the fact that I had a PC, and couldn’t play Half-Life when it came out. Just this past summer I got a PC desktop with enough horsepower to run Half-Life 2, and I played through Half-Life 1 and then 2 back to back. Suffice to say, it was a great couple of weeks. Can’t do that on the Mac OS, making it a deal breaker.

Yes I know about the Intel Macs, but I’d rather not be dual booting and paying for x2 the operating system. ^_^

Windoze has spyware, malware, viruses (virii?), and the blue screen of death! Macs don’t have any of those…Windoze clearly has more *stuff* than Macs!

From California, USA:
I will be taking on the stand that PCs are better then a Mac.

There are many reasons as to why I believe that a PC is better then a Mac. I grew up using a PC so this may be biased, but I had great distaste with the one button mouse and compatability issues to some of my favorite programs. Secondly almost no one owned a mac until recently making it seem like you were practically a loner when trying to share certain files with other people. I can continue this, but I’ll make it simple by saying this.

Owning a Mac is like owning a Mercedes. It looks and feels nice, BUT its expensive to buy, expensive to take care of, only takes premium gas, and finally no one knows how to fix it except a certified mechanic.

Owning a PC is like owning a Honda. It looks nice and feels nice, AND its NOT expensive to buy, NOT as expensive to take care of, takes whatever gas you want it to, and finally your local mechanic, NOT located 45 miles away, can fix it.

Ho ho ho ho, i can tell you WHY i would go MAC now, i mean they had something going on with their designs and cool looks before, but that was it, they only sold Photoshop on the go, now that they really got the GUTS to sell computers i would consider buying a MAC ^-^. i mean, as a practical reference who wouldnt wish the ps3 looked as cool as a wii =P. Fenomenal Cosmic Powers, in a cool pakage. (intel inside) (Windows Vista Ready) ^-^ …

Owning a Macintosh is exactly like the giant robot resin-figures above, a tasteful and graceful machine that is operated with just two levers and three buttons. whether that is the best way to control a powerful and complicated machine depends on the opinion and taste of the user.

this is my third attempt at a post. the first was made from a PC.WinXPpro.Explorer 7. . . when i tried to submit – yeah, it crashed. the second attempt was from Win2k3 SBS….but the security settings were so high that i wasnt able to browse to akihabara. this is the third attempt, lets see if it works. MacG5.OSX/VirtualPC/Win2k/Explorer6 . . . my theory is simple – windows is more stable running in emulation in OSX then on its own. MacOS simplifies a complex experience and allows the user to enjoy using the tool, instead of having to become intimate with it. Both OS’s offer lots of customization and tweaking. With Mac, you can chose not to modify and it will work just fine. Windows doesn’t really have that choice – it needs to be massaged and maintained – constantly. thats just my two cents, happy holidays

I worki n IT supporting Windows PCs all day. I don’t feel like coming home every night and facing yet another round of anti-virus update and supposedly “critical” updates that solely consist of a web browser. I support my coworkers all day, but I’d rather not have to provide tech support my family every evening.
Supporting PCs pays for my life, enjoying things “just working” on my Macs allows me to LIVE my life.

Hi from the netherlands! I preffer windows machines, i use both mac and pc at school. I use macs for about 7 years now, and i just can’t get used to the stupid machines.
The mouse is horrible, its like the mouse has a delay or something because of the acceleration speed that just can’t be turned off.
Its a pain in the **s when it comes to networks, files won’t appear until you specifficely search for it with ctrl+f.
Apple creates extra files with file info (theise are not visible on the mac, but they are on a pc) so if you have an ext. hdd that you use for multiple platforms its just one big mess.
I preffer my trusty old pc, worked with windows for years, and all my favourite games and programs run on it.
But i hope apple grows fast, so microsoft has drop their prices to stay in the market, and that’s the only thing apple’s are good for
greets Sven

[CONTINUED] You’ll see why they say it look so cuuuuuuuuute~! Mine is the Indigo Clamshell iBook on Google Images btw XD

Also, how many computers that run on Windows do you know that you would spend the time for picking out a name?! And what Windows PC’s are hugg-able! (I have seen people hug their iMacs before). And yes my Mac is called PockyMac. (Instead of PowerMac) muahahah

Okay and FINALLY here is one last reason why Macs are better!:

hehehe

Pockfully yours,

Pocky

i’ve not used many macs, mainly pcs. and the reason that pcs are better is simply because they are everywhere you go. the compatibility factor. i’ve never been to an internet cafe or a library and seen macs. always pcs, they have become ubiquitous and for that reason and none other you can’t live without a pc. otherwise, macs are better, bit like vhs/beta.

Used both platforms for over a year.I like PC better, it’s more flexible, customizable and user friendlier. Macs mice should have two buttons like the PCs, it’s faster and easier to copy and paste. What it really anoys me about mac is it’s redundancy. Whenever I use a USB flash drive on a mac, change or delete my files, whenever I plug that USB back to a PC my deleted files are still there plus additional mac files, wasting space.

From our country PC is almost everywhere. I haven’t seen a Internet Cafe wherein you can use MAC. You can see MAC’s in Rich people’s house. That’s why most of us here prefer PC and knows nothing in using MAC. So I prefer the People’s Computer.

I like the Apple’s design, don’t have to worry about spyware and viruses. PC for work, Mac for play.

I’m a PC user and all I can say is that the last time I’ve used a Mac I was really bummed that they didn’t have a right click.

on a side note, love your posts, I read it all the time great stuff.

I live in India. Both has its own + & -. I like the look & feel of mac. But its some times very confusing. Hence I will say PC from the view point of customising it, both Hard ware & software

Actually, I don’t think there’s a reason left to buy a Mac… Style is good but Sony is doing a great job too. Hardware is the same and soft…. Too good that you can install Windows on a Mac now! If Apple doesn’t low prices they will die soon.

I use both Macs and PC’s both for work and personal, I have used a mac since OS 7.5 to OSX, and if I were to choose which of the two I will take with me on a desert island, it most definately would be a mac. Just like a great girlfriend, Macs are easy to get on with far more reliable, fun and better designed then there PC counterparts. On top of which Macs pioneered a lot of stuff that people who only use Commercial/home PC would eventually get years later e.g. Widgets, Gigabit Networking, Wireless Networking, Desktop Print, easy customisation. But its not just the hard ware and looks that make the Mac what it is, after all its whats in the inside that counts, and I much preferr the stability of the Mac OS as well as a lot of the cool software and games available, yeah they are not as many as the PC but Quality is better then quantity, look at the likes of Marathon, Escape Velocity, Myth, Sketch Fighter. to name a few.

A Mac is better than a WindowsPC because
- you can run both Mac and Windows software on the Mac, but not the other way round.
- the Mac hardware is of a more uniform specification than the huge variety of WindowsPC boxes around, giving much better compatibility and stability
- Mac OSX is more secure by far than Windows, is easier to use, is more stable, performs better, and runs on unix which gives power users their fix
- Apple are genuinely innovative, Microsoft are copiers/cloners and just buy technology (and then ruin it, look at Visio, or even Word)
- Apple seem to care about their customers, Microsoft are happy to sell shoddy insecure beta-quality goods to people

Macs are huggable…..blablabla…..Macs come in lovely colors…..blablabla…..they shine !…..blablabla…..they are cute…..blablabla…..Macs are easy to use…..blablabla…..you never have to open the box…..blablabla…..one-button mouse…..blablabla…..no viruses…..blablabla…..round and soft design……..blablabla…..
It’s obvious : Mac is gay (oooops, I broke my nail again against that nasty little apple key…) … PC is geek ;-P

Well, I used a PC and a Mac, and for me, PCs are better than Macs, but Macs are more beautiful and quiet than PCs. I can install on both Linux, so really I don’t care about their operating systems.

Hi from Spain!! I am absolutly fan from PC , the Mac is only designers and publishers focused system. I usually preffer PC for games and Mac is worst in this area.

MAC = Mac Ain’t a Computer
PC = Probably Computer
so…why use a MAC when I can do probability computing?

PC (laptop) won’t burn your lap, chances are they won’t blow up or catch fire (less manufacturers of PC affected by battery recall vs. all for Mac), not stuck with only one or two colors, supported by more software vendors, don’t have a smug, smarmy spokesperson, games and more games, choices and more choices (hardware and software), people don’t complain their “purdy” laptop is getting dirty, doesn’t lull you into a false sense of security (keeps on your toes and sharp), and PC user base can smoosh Mac user base in a heartbeat. I could go on and on, but it’s getting boring.
