Macs are overpriced.    

Seriously, there is nothing my PC can't do that a mac can.    
Video editing? I use Sony VEGAS.    
Obviously, Photoshop CS4 for photo editing.    

The only thing i'm remotely jealous of is Garage Band, but i'm sure i can find something like it if i put an effort into it.    

So PCs are way better and cheaper.


 

Overpriced? Not even if you keep in mind the programs, and the lack of annoyance. Oh yeah, lets all remember that it won't cost you $400 to upgrade, compared to a measly $130.  

You'll never have to upgrade your computer to be able to upgrade within the decade you bought the computer in if you have a Mac. Period.    

CS4 WAS DESIGNED ON MACS. Enough said.  
The same shit you get on PCs for editing period is either better or compatible with/on macs.  

& Garageband is shit btw

If you are mentally ill, Macs are perfect. They do everything for you, no customization, everything is locked down.
 

Customization, we've got plenty. Download Onyx.


Congrats on proving my point. You need to download something EXTRA in order to do anything.

The only thing that Macs has in general is iLife. Which, doesn't even come with the OS.

Macs don't play games. Unless you use crossover [slows performance of your games] or Boot Camp, which means you have to use windows anyway.

You don't buy a Mac to play games, even stupid people know this.

And your shitty Vista box had better come with some customization shit if it costs $200+. iLife comes with the computer, not the OS. Either way you end up with it in the end.

Depends. Do you want a laptop or desktop computer. and do you want the fast yet confusing Macs or the slightly slower and efficient windows.

Windows Vista actually costs $600, my bad.

CS4 is more efficient on Macs, Adobe creates Photoshop and their entire suite on Macs. Nothing more than that.

I'M TALKING ABOUT A REAL VERSION OF VISTA NOT THAT STUPID WATERED DOWN HOME PREMIUM SHIT.

I hate macs. I'm sorry but they annoy me so much when I have to use them. PCs for the win.

Macs do desktops and laptops, both excelling over windows
Mac, confusing? How the hell can you say that, after using windows for 10-11 years of my life the switch to mac was the easiest thing I've ever done
Windows is the confusing one, takes about 10 minutes to search for anything on our computer, Mac, type it in spotlight, BAM, its there.

Also, Mac's are still pretty good for gaming, the new macbooks have integrated nVidia graphics chipsets, they've even updated the white macbook to have the same chipset, making the graphics much better.
The desktops (i'm pretty sure) have changeable graphics cards so that's good in itself
etc etc etc

Mac, type it in spotlight, BAM, its there.

And I love how people with Windows were all like "OMG INSTANT SEARCH IS AMAZIN!" and their faulty UAC system. It provides me with the lulz.  

Dashboard too, it's a win. It takes MS years to catch up, consistently.

And how about this, spell check is in every app and text box, okay? That alone is a win.

Mhm. And yet, with that $600 version there, it is just makes the cut for what 7/8 of Leopard does.

He's right.
It really depends what you want to use the computer for.
