In a RC sorta way that makes sense... i think 8)
It's like when the Pope was presented with the iPod it was big news among Catholic iPod users.
Recently Bono gave Dubya an iPod. Guess Bono didnt know Dubya already had one. Maybe Bono gave him the U2 edition.
Over here everyone's selling iPod shuffle & nano knock offs. As in really bad knock offs that claim it is the iPod.

Personally, I only like to deal with "good business." And honestly, I don't think apple thinks of their customers as anything else but $$$$$$$$$$. I dont like Micro$haft at all but then again, I dont give money to them either..

Ok, Im shopping for a new comptuer.
WTF would I want to switch to Mac?
Tell me reasons.
And I never get viruses, so you can take that off your small list of reasons.

I used a PC most of my life, bought an Apple laptop 2 years ago and then sold it fairly quickly, don't get me wrong, they are fantastic, but I wasn't using it. One thing to note is the really high re-sale value
They look waaaaay better, they don't really crash, blah blah blah but to be honest I think you need to test drive one and decide for yourself.
If you're a designer / have an eye for excellence, they fit right in, the OS is beautiful to look at now as well as the hardware.
If I was getting a Mac now (which i will be doing in the future) I will still have my PC too

LOL - I'm currently looking for a laptop.
After using a desktop/laptop running windows since i was like 8, i need a new portable machine.
Looking at a Macbook/Pro
I have a pretty lareg budget, so price ins't really an issue.
I want either a 13 inch macbook or PC (or a 15.4" macbook pro). What should i get? My use of computers is pretty standard - word processing, photo editing, media (watching), music listnening etc.
All of these things i think should be easy out work out on a mac, so there's nothing to reall stop me from migrating.
Why should/shouldn't i migrate??

If you play games, you shouldn't migrate!!! there virtually are none!
Now Apple can run windows too you can get windows games working, although not with high in game settings usually.

Linux-based notebooks or pirated Windows?

Find me a mac that is better then my ibm.
1 inch thick. Weighs nothing.
Those mac laptops are the uglliest things on the planet.
IBMs are sleek, elegant and cool.
The macs look like something for a school boy or a yuppie who wants to flash around.
here is my ibm

You shouldn't buy a Mac if you're a lovechild of SFDMALEX & RC45. Guess who's the bitch?
You should buy a Mac because it runs Windows faster than PC notebooks.

Isn't this the point why people put up with Windows? For the games isnt it?
I'd go for a video gaming console for games. Less time tweeking & more time playing.

I think number1's looking for a brand new notebook & not a used one.
IBM doesnt make notebooks anymore. They sold that business to Lenovo.
I'd rather go with an Alienware if I was looking for a serious gaming notebook. Spec'd better for people who arent used to wearing a suite & tie.

Rugby's better.
Anyway I take everything back. Buy an Alienware instead for your computer needs & any non-iPod MP3 player.
