Windows sucks balls btw. YES macs do have more reliable systems. I could go on for ages as to why but i wont.. do your own research. Im not an apple fan boy, and i still ocassionaly use windows. Apple products however are very good. Not because they're "cool" but they're reliable, great software, etc. If you like listening to the radio, get an mp3 player with a radio.. simple.. The whole idea of an mp3 player is to play mp3s. Thats the priority..

anyway calm down a bit, and give some apple products a try. There are pleanty of other stuff out there which are more "fan boy" based. I can assure you Apple is not one of them. Many people choose Apple for its quality, and yes it expensive, but if you can afford it, then its a great piece of kit to have.

dude....

about the money issue im not gonna be pretend to be some ceo alex baller status. but i can assure you when i buy a component i only buy it based on features or something that gives you the best price/performance.

see the bit in the bold proves my point i have tested apple products and they dont suit my needs. just like how an imac wont run most games thats why i didnt buy it.

Worse specs (ram, harddrive, graphics card) and a higher price tag. There's just no way you can get equal and/or better specs on a mac than a pc without paying a much larger amount of money. The funny thing is, if you spent such money on a pc, you could be the proud owner of one of the most powerful machines known to man. However, the particular software they provide seems to be better for media "projects" (so I've heard).

Why should I? I can simply check the specs and see a powerful $1,000 pc built via components from newegg would cost $2,000+ for the EXACT SAME SPECS! How is this hard to understand? I also like knowing all major software is compatible with my system. If you want to blow a bunch of cash on a computer, why not just get an alienware?

**Shadow666** · 09-20-2008, 08:34 PM

i would nerver buy an apple computer cause i like games and love the windows interface.

only apple product i am considering at the moment is the itouch.

My point is made.

Own three iPods, but I will always use a PC over a Mac, mainly for gaming purpose O_O.

Mac's never crash? They just work? No errors?

I've seen a few Kernal Panics in my time....

**kelso** · 09-21-2008, 06:13 AM

I'll jump in on this thrad.. Macbook Pro + iPhone here as well.

**Buster McFats** · 09-21-2008, 06:15 AM

Macbook and Ipod, but my Ipod honestly blows. Kinda want a new Zune, but I don't think they work with Mac OS X.

**JuanDenver** · 09-21-2008, 06:18 AM

Macs are for tree hugging liberals

**tdub27** · 09-21-2008, 06:21 AM

why the hell do people argue about Macs vs. PC's? It's not like you fuking invented it or something. damn you guys are so defensive about both of them

Great so weve established that macs are expensive, and that you know nothing about them. Weve made a lot of progress today.

How do you know I didnt invent it?

Yo ive actually got a question

Ive got an Imac (the latest one) and im looking to connect a bigger speaker system to it. The imac sound output is great but i want surround sound..

I know i gotta get an external card like griffin firewave? Will that work well with my mac or should go for something different?

That would probably work. I dont know how high quality it is. I like creative's stuff, but I dont think they have mac drivers.

**Niveks** · 09-21-2008, 02:15 PM

MacBook + iPhone here. I had PC's for years and will never go back to one. On paper Macs seem the same as a lower priced pc but they run so much better and OSX ****s on windows, imo.

Yeh i looked at some creative soundcards, but they're all only for windows.

Griffin Firewave seems to be the only one out there for macs... (maybe im unaware?)

I read that the quality is very good overall.

The $20 alarms me. Thats too cheap.

Techincally you have an optical out jack. That mean you can connect it to any source with an optical in jack. This includes stereo/surround sound recievers.

The creative devices use USB, which is why the driver is needed. No driver is needed with an optical jack.

**L.D.N** · 09-21-2008, 02:26 PM

MacBook & iPod Classic. Probably getting an iPhone in the coming months. If I want to play games, I'll use my 360 kthx.

I was looking at something like this

http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/343709...t/Product.html

But theres more than 1 cable there.. hence why id need the extrenal card thing..

You think i can just get regular set of speakers (not pc specific) and hook them up?

Yeah if you want to spend the money on a reciever + surround sound speakers, it will work. It will end up being a lot more money though.

**M12** · 09-21-2008, 02:46 PM

Damn dunno what to go for then..

Firewave seems like the only external soundcard available for a mac..

**M12** · 09-21-2008, 03:01 PM

Just found some good mac compatible speakers

thanks for your help mate

**Jebby** · 09-21-2008, 04:55 PM

Is the os for mac less demanding than vista? Because from what I have been told for vista you should have at least 2gb or ram and 3 - 4 is recommended.

**MDizzle11** · 09-21-2008, 04:57 PM

Macbook and iPod Video (80GB)

**Fred87nc** · 09-21-2008, 04:57 PM

Macbook and iPhone, best investments I made. If i wanted to game, I'll play on my ps3.

my next laptop might be a mac. my friend has one, he can boot in windows or the mac os. which is great for me cuz that will mean i'll be able to game a little in windows xp. and enjoy the reliability of the mac os

**Paris.** · 09-21-2008, 10:57 PM

Just to be fair, I DO have Windows installed on my Mac, however, I don't use it much.

**Lucky_ROA** · 09-22-2008, 09:40 AM

I am sick and tired of my Acer laptop. Guys please reccomend me an Apple notebook. And I hope thet paint on the MAC's dont wear off within 3 months.
