New Computer- Mac v PC?
Eldirial:
--- Quote from: Duchess Tapioca ---You should get pc with an AMD Turion 64 processor, because it makes things better for cheaper. There are three real reasons to get a mac:
1. You have lots of extra cash laying around. You want to show your friends that every time you puke, up comes silver dollars.
2. You hate right clicking.
3. You cannot live without a rotating desktop background.
Also, if you are use to having a pc and using ctrl+c and ctrl+v and ctrl+whatevertheeff, you will get very mad. This may lead to defenistration of your sleek and stylish, unsuprisingly aerodynamic computer.
If you would like a mac for any valid reason, including the ones listed above, please get a mac, because it really doesn't matter that much.

See, thats the kind of responce I get from many of my friends- no real reasons, just some bull- opinions are nice, but they arn't very good reasons to stay away from things.
And, to update- I may be able to get my computer today, we shall see- I shall report on how it goes when I am online later.
Se7en:
Actually, all comparisons of security and reliablity, are null and void. Good maintainance and administration means both platforms are identical from that point of view.
Personally, i find the mac interface utterly horrible, and the entire design concept insulting to my intelligence.
Ultimately, a PC is more flexible, cheaper, and more powerful. It just demands slightly more expertise to get the most out of it.

What are you, crazy? Asking this on the Internet?! Holy shit, the howling wolves are coming... RUN!!!
--- Quote from: Inanimate Object ---If you'll have a PC to do things like convert Word documents

Okay, I've heard a bunch of "things PCs can do that Macs can't" that aren't actually true (eg. the right-click thing mentioned above,) but this is a new one. Why do you need to convert Word documents, and why do you need a PC to do it?
--- Quote from: salada ---something else to consider though, is the motorola-to-intel switch that apple recently announced.
--- End quote ---
Don't you mean IBM-to-Intel switch? My sister's boyfriend works for IBM. He told me that his supervisor held a scary meeting to convey the bad news. Then like a week later there was another meeting where his supervisor was all "Fuck Apple, we don't need them! We got XBOX!"

Can anyone recommend a PC without taking a jab at the Mac?
Can Eldirial use his or her own aesthetic sensibilities to make a decision, since s/he already said s/he gets plenty of bullshit opinions from his or her friends?
