[nthfinity]

[ferrarif1fan89]

i'm actually thinking about upgrading from my macbook pro, and i didn't want to spend too much money. refurbished models, anyone?

[nthfinity]

i've been using macs for over 20 years.......the 5 years i had a PC for were by far the WORST 5 years of computer use in my life......

OSX is simply brilliant....there is no better operating system.

my girl just recently sacked her nasty Sony Vaio for a fresh 15" Macbook pro....

viao... ive got no love of them.

I grew up on CPM, Dos, mac's from various years... 1985-86, 94-99, and never again... it was by far my worst computing years of my life ;)

there is just so much more i can do on a winblow's machine :)

[TNT]

another PC vs MAC. when will they learn that MACs are just as good if not better then PCs; as PCs are better then MACs in areas.

[RC45]

sort of like PS3 vs XBox360... :P

[SFDMALEX]

sort of like Macs are fucking shit and PCs are King.

[r2r]

@RC45 So which one is the PS3 and which one the 360? :)

Yeah Apple Online Store is offering some great deals on refurbs. You get the same 1 year warranty and it still qualifies for AppleCare as well.

I think 15" MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.0GHz is down to about $1300 or so. Last time I checked.

If you go to the Apple Store Online, and on the lower right hand side, you will see a Red Tag "Looking For A Great Deal".

Simple.. PC is PS3 and Mac is XBox360... one is over hyped, under powered and offers no useful tools or supported upgrade path :P

The other simply works as intended from day 1.

Well u can also look at it the other way...

PS3 - overpriced, not much better in terms of graphical power (at least as of the current games) [Mac]

XBox 360 - more affordable and more software. [PC]

Depends which period did you used PC for 5 years. Plus, you might say the opposite if you used PC for 20 years then switch to Mac. It's about the getting used to factor too u know.

Your girl might be following the trend rather than it's function. Commercial sells, peer pressure sells, packaging sells ....

Except I can upgrade my PC... and my PS3... yet buying a Mac or XBox360 seems to have locked me into a deadend ;) :P

But not to worry, M$ will have an "improved" XBox360 on sale in a little while.. much the same way you "buy" your way to the next level with a Mac ;)

^^ I guess this is not my place to argue since I don't own ither! :)

No argument really... I just wish I had of guessed the XBox360 would be so closed-end before I bought it ;)

[Max Power]

^^
so will this stop u from buying the next xbox (720 or whatever)...i doubt it

Actually it will.

I gave Micro$haft a chance with the 360, after the failure that was the XBox - it was one of the first poorly designed and supported M$ projects out there.

Up until the XBox, you could count on "clone" style portability and peripheral support from M$ stuff.

But then the liberals and euros got all pissed at the money Gates made and decided to sue M$ and force them to change their way of doing things.

The result is what we have now - XBox360 no upgrade path, closed and proprietary... Vista appearing to be a rather frustrating compromise compared to XP, NT and Windows from the past.

I figured that the 360 would at least have true USB support and support plugin drivers and 3rd party development.

Sadly this is not the case - and this is even borne out by the fact that the few peripheral developers out there are unable to port their PC stuff to XBox360.

Well - the world wished for a "new M$" and thats what they got - but at a huge cost to consumers, no more "cheap stuff that just works"...

So far the PS3 has behaved more like a M$ WIndows PC than the XBox360 has when introduced to addons :P ;)

What an irony...

I used to have one. But it doesn't work anymore. It was reasonably good. At least the keybpard didn't break, unlike the Dell.

To be honest, I quite liked DOS. It did everything I wanted it to do (not much), and it was so simple.

[Mattk]

if mac was so good they wouldnt make thier pcs windows bootable!!

Good point. It is obvious that MacOS cannot do everything. Windows is clearly capable of performing a broader range of tasks.
