I used to think like this at one time. Until I started using a macbook.

Significantly better than the PCs I used. Admittedly, I've never used a PC in the price range of a MAc so that can factor into things. But Macs hold their value well. A 700 PC, you're replacing in 3 years. A refurbishedmac might cost you 1000-1200 [maybe even less] and 3 years you won't need to replace it and if you did want to upgrade, you could resell easily for 600-700

I hear this shyt all the time. What is it about PCs that you guys think they need to be replaced at such a rate?

I had a 2005 HP DV9000T that was going strong well into 2012 when my brother lost it. If you don't take care of your shyt, of course it's not gonna last.

Its about the individual. I keep my shyt with me at all times and I do alot of moving around. From my house, to my friends houses, school, etc. My PCs would get dinged up and parts would start falling off. Mac, not an issue. And the battery life>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well he asked so I assume he cares. Cause, ya know, he asked...



Yea, I don't know what any of this means. I haven't had to manually download drivers since Windows 98. Hell, plug and play is part of the BIOS nowadays. You're living in Windows 3.1 times, breh. Maybe you were doing it wrong? I dunno, but things like drivers aren't a problem for me. :manny:

As far as build quality, :laugh:. Dudes in here acting like Windows laptops just falling apart at the seams, keys popping off, and shyt. The only thing on here that's not premium is the trackpad. The trackpad is gaaaaaaaarrrrrbaaaaaggggeeeee :sadcam: but I use a mouse anyway so it's irrelevant to me.



:huh:

It's just the internet, breh. Who lies about computer specs? The whole point of this debate is that yes, I can get a more powerful computer than you and pay significantly less for it.

Playing dumb? He asked about a completely different set of specs. And my specs still > your specs. This image is self-ether at it's finest. :laugh:

Just say you prefer OSX and it's worth it to you to pay extra for it. It's pretty easy. You don't have to get all homotional like this is a religion thread.

Edit: I don't have SCSI on mine though which is pretty cool. I don't think I'd use it anyway tho.

Or buy the machine that runs the OS you prefer. Windows is a piece of shyt and now they made it worse with windows 8.
macbooks :heh:

overpay for a laptop so people think you're cool

Sounds like your more savy with virus protection, and keeping your system running clean than most. I'll admit that my piracy and porn habits would destroy my windows os in 6 months requiring new installs semi annually.

On my 2006 MacBook, I just surf and nothing happens, I don't maintain shyt, this isn't apple kool aid, these are real experiences.

Before it was running Windows 7, it had XP on there which did require a clean install every other year. But Win 7 changed the game, imo.

Windows 8 was :scusthov:.

Windows 8.1 is a better version of Windows 7. They fixed the search.

And yea, the file organization is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than it needs to be. That's a real :rolleyes: thing. Like jesus christ I don't need Favorites and Libraries and This PC and Network and Onedrive... Sometimes shyt is overcomplicated but :manny:.

The Truth
So let me get this straight. You know you don't have malicious software on your macbook because you haven't scanned it? How do you think viruses work? Once its installed it sends you an email that says FYI, you have a virus :pachaha:
I know I don't because my Mac hasn't been acting up for shyt :mjpls:


And I used to scan it as much as I did my windows computers... Until I realized I was wasting my time... Then I slowly stopped scanning less and less. I don't even think I got a schedule for it:youngsabo:


And everything important is backed up on the external. It's amazing not having to worry about PC bullshyt everyday

That's exactly what pushed me over the edge. It was hard for me to spend a G on a computer but 8 years later my shyt is still on point, all I had to do was replace the battery and that was cheep
