mac/pc

whats the difference between a pc and a mac?

macs seem alot more expensive compared, but whats the main difference?

ive heard macs are hyped more towards design...that true?

need a new pc you see, so im toying with the idea of gettin a mac.

thanks in advance...

this is going to bring alot or lets say heated disscusion , hmmm that is if ppl can b bothered, lol

try searching the forum for pc vs. mac threads..

that should do it..

I'd say the main differences are 1) the processor on the macs are kinda different from pc ones, but the big thing is 2) the operating system.

thanks, read the old thread.

forgot all about searching actually heh.

macs looking favorite at mo it reckon...

Well myself being a pc person, but getting tired of Microsoft's bs, I would buy a Mac based on the G5 and the new OSx if I had the cash right now.

you'll find a range of opinions and no clear answer on what's "best", it usually does come down to a preference on the OS and people liking or not caring about mac freebie software (iMovie, iPhoto, etc.). most design firms and a lot of places doing editing/post production work do use macs so if that's the direction you want to head a mac might not be a bad idea.

macs cost more and r slow as crap, well compared to my 2 year old pc that is. macs r just popular in the design field because coputer design really began on a mac years and years back.

funny, they compete with my two-year old pc just fine, and the new g5's rival some pretty quick pc's in speed. besides, as i've said before, speed isn't everything.
