I think I've figured out the Apple haters (srs)(GTFIH apple haters)(PICS)

[realtimeidle]

That competes with the MB Air, not the iPad. The Surface RT competes with the iPad.

Maybe if you taped a iPad on to the back of the Macbook Air

[Mustang1019]

lol at people that hate on macs being on that poverty time.
Macs are just ****ty. Not only are they over priced but they are ****ty.
u wot m8?

apple invented the phone

btw i have 15" 2012 rMBP as well as custom gaming tower lulz best of both worlds

[Defiled]

never really like the OS or the support it gets from certain programs and I use to be against the hardware (not always the best quality and certainly extremely over priced).

But recently they have been making some cool advances, mainly in the new Mac Pro (not the laptop) with what they can fit into that tiny cylinder. Also moving to PCI based ssds in the their laptops.

[dunnie]

iphone operating system sucks and is way overpriced

their computers are expensive as fck and they suck compared to the same price custom made pc

im happy that youre a retard op, because it makes my life easier

[SubXero]

Don't give a fuk about computers...
One word... nexus
Brb nexus 10: way better resolution than the ****ty retina display and fastest tablet on the market
Brb nexus 7: trumps the iPad mini in every way
Brb nexus 4: best price to performance phone, better almost as good as the HTC one and S4 for half the price
Brb getting nexus 5 when it comes out, and just like nexus 4, it'll b the best phone of its time

You retarded? Look at the price, specs, and OS and tell me the Surface Pro doesn't match up agains the MBA.

[J1n]

You're paying for Brand name and Software. That's it. The hardware is the same as PCs.

[Ronnie87]

I have an iPhone, but you're dumb as **** if you think a mac is better than a windows laptop

[g152013zicam]

master race checking in

[Tabris]

Would take a Windows laptop over this chit any day of the week. The sooner a non-chitty Haswell laptop with Windows come out, the better.

Will say that the iPhone is better than any other phone on the market though. Tried using a friend's HTC with Android and is sucked near-unlimited amounts of dick.

brb, can't even log out of Android marketplace because you have to link your phone with a single android account
brb, factory reset if you change your email address

I like to post this pic everytime there is a thread pc vs mac

Mirin the gen too, opensuse and fedora logos. Respect

[Curlzbrah]

lol. you just made the guy's point for him. good job.

apple isn't for ppl on dat dere poverty time. it's for people who want the best.

lmao strong falling for marketing strategies.

Get on dat dere marketing time brah, and maybe you'll understand that apple doesn't have high prices because of their quality...
But because people like the OP buy it.


Do not currently use and Apple device, but had an Iphone and will probably go back when the new one is published. Will never buy an Apple computer though, I am too used to the windows OS and it worked out for me pretty fuking well until this point.

Strongly mirin Apple's brand equity though.

You retarded? Look at the price, specs, and OS and tell me the Surface Pro doesn't match up agains the MBA.

Ok, iPad $799, 128gb, has touchscreen , must buy adapter to plug anything into it, weight 1.44lbs, retina display
Surface Pro $999, 128gb, has touchscreen, weight 1.9lbs, wacom tablet, biggest app store in the world (via Desktop mode), USB 3.0 inputs, display port,microSDXC card reader, brb $20 64gb space upgrade, 1920x1080
Macbook air $999, 128gb, weight 2.44 lbs, no wacom tablet, no touchscreen, 1366 x 768, USB 3.0 inputs, thunderbolt port (lol), SDXC card reader (no micro)


everything else arguably the same
Not to mention there are even better offerings from 3rd party vendors..

LOL at anyone not noticing that laptops with touchscreens are the way of the future.

[outfoxxed]

Ok then have fun spending $500 every year because your PC laptop breaks down every other month.

Bought a macbook pro for college in 2010 for exactly $1400 and its still going strong. Not a single virus, slowdown, hiccup was seen that day. The build quality is like no other. They're great laptops, yes there are pricy, but you end up with a laptop that will last you a long time.

This just in. Buy a 500 dollar laptop 3 times. Same specs. New laptop every 2 years. Laptop to last you for 6 years

it was pretty amazing using an iphone then switching to the nexus 4....

[BoltzmannEq]

I can understand why people go for the Iphone or Ipod touch, like srs, you need to get on dat game grind while in the chitter.

I don't understand why people go for the Macbooks though... uses the same hardware of PC, but at double the price. Would be special if Apple still made their own CPU and stuff, but it's just the software you're paying for.

Have had and used apple in the past. I prefer Android and Windows. I'm also a professional graphic artist and still prefer Windows.

Never have any problems with my PC. Never had a virus, no registry errors, etc. As long as you know what you are doing, Windows can run flawlessly. As far as cost goes, everyone knows how much more power you can get for your buck if you buy a Windows-based PC (build my own computer master race). The hardware is the same and is the most important part. You are paying for the OS, the brand name, and the aesthetics of the machine with Apple (which aren't always better).

However, Apple IS superior in making a product that everyone can use, that is much harder to screw up. That is a premium that you have to pay out the angus for. I don't hate Apple products, I just prefer Windows. I recommend Apple to my friends all the time based on their knowledge of computers.

jakes on you guys you're all fukn gay for caring what kind of computer other people use

iPad: 16-128gb, 10 hour+ battery life, mobile ARM processor, 1 GB RAM - $599
Surface RT: 32-64gb, mobile NVIDIA processor, 2GB Ram - $499

Surface Pro: 64-128GB, i5 processor, 4gb ram - $999
MBA: 128-512gb, i5 processor, 4gb ram - $999

I included the prices for models with comparable storage space. What matches up more closely to the Surface Pro, the Air or the iPad?

RT is actually only $349 now.

You picked the base models prices and are comparing to the upper models, I actually picked the ones with the same amount of space with their reflected prices.

However you slice it, you still get tablet functionality and desktop functionality with surface pro. Don't get that unless you buy iPad and MBA, maybe throw some uggs in for good measure

[Zerafian]

apple computers have great longevity...if you say they dont its because youv never had one...At least the 2007+ mac pros. They are a little over priced but you get a lot protection when it comes to hardware.

The hate mainly comes from the fact we are on the misc...so many sheep on here follow people with reps and say apple sux to get reps. In reality they dont know why they are bad...just that others dont like apple.


I can honestly say apple has the best monitors on the market for picture but they arent worth the price. Also theres no reason in the world to buy a mac laptop unless you use software exclusive to mac, a lot of video and audio editing software.

[jason_bh]

Used to own an iPhone. Went to Android. Will never go back to iPhone again




Used to own a PC. Went to Macbook. Will never go back to PC again.





best of both worlds, come at me *******s.


srs though, Apple makes laptops so much better than MSoft it's not even funny. i've used PCs for like 11 years before switching to a Mac, and it's crazy how much smoother the experience is

Funny... I don't recall Microsoft making laptops. They create operating systems and software.

[BrotatoChip]

The thing that bothers me the most about Apple is their lack of trust and respect for their programmers and customers.

The other day I wanted to turn a simple computer game I made into an app. I have an ipad so I tried apple first. I had to make an account, that's fine. Then I had to 'petition' to become a temporary developer which was another stupid step but pretty quick. Then when I was all ready to download the tools I was brought to a page telling me the ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST plan was $100 for a year membership.

That incredible plan offered me all the following benefits: test and maintain none of the rights for a single personal use app. I couldn't put it on the app store, I couldn't test it on any other device except the one I registered it to, and I had to frequently update them on my plans/intentions along with all code used. Are you fukking kidding me? I pay THEM $100 to even test a single app on one device that can never be distributed or sold, + lose all my rights to the code.





Then I tried Android and without signing up for anything I was instantly pointed to a full developer toolkit free to download. It had everything I needed and even had built in tutorials and extras for app networking help for both mobile and tablets.

Edit - not to mention apple doesn't allow their developers to access anything inside the OS. You are only allowed to use preselected functions on top of their code. Android and Microsoft both allow full control of everything except the copyrighted core.

Let's say I sell you a drill. It costs $100 and it's a decent drill. Now I take this same drill and give it a comfy grip that's contoured and chit. I sell you it for $200. Is the 2nd one better? Yes. Is it worth paying and extra $100 for? No. That is why people hate macs. They're disproportionately expensive. Here is my $600 computer:

i7 2600
8 GB ram
radeon 6850
2 TB HD
+
22'' monitor with built in speakers that I got 6 years ago for ~$150

Let's look at the equivalent mac:
$1700 so far for an inferior processor, graphics card, and HD.
