UM WELL,
you can't buy a mac for under 1500.
so probably windows.

Mac seems god. But I haven't tried it a lot. I'd say don't take the risk and buy a Microsoft one!

Show me a brand new Macbook for 500-600 and I agree not to call you an idiot.

They are used.  Used isn't the same.


-- Posted by Sheebobee at 1:57 pm on June 29, 2008

Yeah

-- Posted by ultima171 at 8:58 pm on July 15, 2008

mac is the way to go, better safer, and more durable and long lasting. jsut looky here, the best research is that you do for yourself...

p.s. thats the laptop i have...i loooove it


-- Posted by mysticgohan at 7:47 am on July 17, 2008

Windows, as long as you're not an idiot viruses and durability shouldn't come into play. They're cheaper which is the main plus.

Macs much more user friendly and they work right out of the box not needing any updates lol. and they last a hell of alot longer than PC's. And are just better

Yes, there are no updates... oh, wait, explain why i just ran system updater?

Why are they more user friendly? What makes them better... don't just say they are, say why.

I have a PC from seven years ago that still runs fine. It's a little slow but that's mostly from current apps being to much for it to handle memory wise. As long as you're not a dipshit a PC and a Mac will last a long time.
