That Mac thread!

[Jadi]

Hea AmyNeudaiz, Macs *are* better. You'll have to just face it. The system design (mostly due to Darwin/Mach/FreeBSD) is superior. The UI implementation is superior.

Saying they are more expensive is like saying Cobalt is better than Dark Light because it's cheaper.

Off the subject of your analogy, I'd take appropriate triple IV melds on +1 Cobalt over Darklight anyday. People just like to say Darklight is better because of the social status attached to it. Also, Darklight is cheaper because it's free.

Anyways back to the subject, I was more arguing the cost effectiveness of the 2. For what you would pay for in a Mac PC you can get better in a non-Mac PC and be able to make the same upgrades far cheaper. This is only one point. If you feel inclined to throw your money away so you can have an icon on your computer monitor shaped like a bitten apple, feel free.

You know that 7 is Vista re branded and touched up, right? Same core system.

7 is Vista fixed. The reason Vista is horrible is not present in 7. This is coming from someone who doesn't like Windows OS. Let me say it again for extra clearity. I hate Windows, it's crap.

Lol, how easily Mac fanboys get upset over a small mistake is funny. I'll actually try to make a point this time. But aside from that small mistake, which I apologize for, you are the one coming up here saying Mac is better and you are not really making any real points except for personal preference arguments.
EDIT: And to be clear, I mean any arguments that are actually valid.

What you are arguing is all subjective points of view and no facts. From what I understand, take to mind I am no expert on the topic, is that Mac has a more "modern" OS with more streamlined functions and that's all that can be said about it. There's no "magic component(s)" that make it run better or anything of the sort. On the flip side Macs are made so that you have to buy upgrades through Apple unless you're very tech savy (and most people are not) which makes it an obsolite system as a whole. Non-Apple PC's are user friendly hardware wise and inexpensive compared to Mac and they get better parts sooner on the market than non-Apple PC's and they are typically more powerful than Macs from this fact alone, not to mention the fact that you have so much freedom to do whatever you want that they are chosen over Mac.

Modern OS > more affordable, powerful and customizable system as a whole? I think not. Oh and before you go on saying Mac is affordable, if I can find it later I'll link it here but there was someone who made a video proving how over priced Apple products are by going through and clicking all the extra options available to add on to a regular new model Mac lap top and it was over $10,000. I don't even have a big point behind that, just the fact that you can customize a $10,000 lap top that would become obsolite in 2 years.

No you can not build a $10,000 laptop; go to the Apple store and check yourself, secondly as i said before one of the main price point is the Monitor which for the iMacs the equivalent would be $1000 and the macbooks have no equivalent laptop monitor out there. How hard is it for you to understand that the OS does make it run faster that is the key. The average computer user does not upgrade for 5 years buying a Mac is only obsolete for people who upgrade every component every year.
