Hello, I have 33 years old and I started “playing” with PCs about 2 decades ago with a Sinclair xxx88 or something I cant really remember now.
Since then, I have been using pcs, and I did had a lot of different ones. I still work with a PC at my office, but I now own 2 macs. A laptop and a new 27″ iMac.

Since early, i used my computers for graphic design, arquitecture, 3D modeling, photography, etc. I also played a lot of games too.

What I can tell is, I had a lot of problems on my pcs. The worse was this Targa 2000 video editing card that costed me BIG money. And, 1 year after, I had to put it aside, just because there were no drivers for XP.
After hundred of hardware problems, drivers failing, errors, viroses and trojans, I finally decided to get a Mac and try it. I always was one of those guys who just try to flame mac users, and mac computers. But I changed. A lot.

I dont see my macs as normal pcs. They are part of my quality of life. I do like them. No major flaws, all works good, its fast, it looks great, it works 100%, 99% of the time. So, why do I need a PC?

I use my notebook for almost 4 years now, probably more than 12 hours a day. Its always on, running high on everything.

And, I still play games. Ofc not all games work on a mac. I could even install windows and run those games, but why?

Its not Apple’s fault that most of the game companies never do Mac versions. On the other hand, there are some great game companies that actually do it, like Blizzard.

I have been playing their games for years and its enough for me. I have a Wii at home that I can use to play other stuff, and I even have a older pc at home for my car games (since I bough a well that costed lots of cash and its has drivers for PCs only).

I switched, and I’m happy. The worse is, mac haters. “They” hate us just because they are jealous and most of the times, they dont know it. It sucks to have a pc when it is just a problem maker, while those happy-looking ppl use macs…

I dont care. Im happy, and i dont really fell like having a pc again. I am now a converted mac user.

And no, I dont get any money from Apple aswell. I just like them, because they seem to like me too. And if you ask me, we dont need a lot of more pc lovers joining our “world”. We are already quite happy as we are.

Do some research before you type! macs are very upgradable for smart, and stupid people. Only a idiot would post mac bashing on a mac board!

“NO FLOPPY DRIVE” are you kidding me. They haven’t made floppy drives for a long time.

Someone once told me something very cool: “the way you judge is the way you are” so you must suck balls, probably a lot.

You are an idiot and Mac’s are far superior to the PC crap, especially WinDOZE Vista which is a total failure, even Lord Ballmer said so.

If Mac’s suck then why is everyone running from there Vista PCs as fast as they can to Mac’s.

Now go suck Brian’s balls and he will probably reciprocate.

You have obviously NEVER owned a Mac or used one for more than a few minutes. I made the mistake of wasting my money on a WinDOZE Vista POS and what a mistake.

Get some experience on something before expressing your stupid opinion.

So how long have you been a moron or are you a MS employee trying to spread MS propaganda?

I had been a Mac user for a long time and went to PC because of my wife.

About 16 months ago I bought her a very expensive Sony Vaio running WinDOZE Vista. What a HUGE mistake. This thing is such a piece of crap that it is unusable. I did not buy her a Mac because of the extra cost.

I got absolutely no help from Microshaft or Sony.

I wanted to load XP and Sony said it can’t be done, I found out it can be done but very difficult because of how Sony configured it and I would have to spend a bunch more money on a copy of XP and lots of time or pay a shop $140 for the conversion, that is $250 to downgrade to XP.

I did spend money and time upgrading RAM and doing a clean install of Vista and downloaded latest drivers with no help.

Sony now says it can’t be upgraded to Windows 7 but Windows 7 upgrade adviser said it could be, I guess Sony just does not want to spend the money to support this. As if I would spend a $120 more to fix their (MS) mess.

If they let me downgrade or upgrade for a minimal amount I might not be so pissed off but these greedy aholes want to extract every cent from their customers/victims as if they don’t have enough money. What a bunch of crap.

I loaded Ubuntu (Linux) on her laptop and it is very fast so I will use it as a Linux machine and buy her a Mac. No more MS crap for me.

Mac’s are great and Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) is free, blazing fast, secure, very stable, compatible, comes with a free Office suite that is MS Office compatible, and did I mention FREE. This is a no brainer, why would anyone ever pay M$ for their inferior crap ever again.

I know IT people that have switched to Macs at home because they were spending so much time and money maintaining their crappy PCs.

this is funny…

it’s like mac users do not need friends… since they are in love with their machines.

If all macs are tweaked to perfection (meaning all are the same), it doesn’t seem made for each user specifically.. how lame.

There seems to be alot of myths about the PC by those who left PCs to

Macs… it’s like someone brilliant said:

Macs and PCs are like automatic and standard cars. Once you got that standard going you unleash alot of power ;-) but not everyone can drive standard cars.

I think its a personal choice between MAC and PC and I couldn’t care less if there are people who don’t like or even hate Macs…. I’m happy as a pig in mud with my Mac and who care what others think, like or dislike …. it makes no difference in my happy Mac life ;-)

Well, regardless of how you feel about your boyfriend, or how many games you play, or how people you try to dissprove in an obnoxiously long comment, we can agree that mac is different. and sure its a ‘major corperation’ but unlike so many other corperations they sell something that it so worth it, something that someone can feel secure owning. the guy down the street at bestbuy could maybe care less about that laptop he sold you last week. That same laptop that takes 10 min to start up, 5 min to open anything,and crashes after a week of owning it, bringing way to many hours wasted just sitting and waiting. these boring, souless computers have no place in so many peoples lives already. So why do you care if we’re happy about something that has always let us down?
From what I’ve experienced and read about countless other people experienced; vista should have never been made. it just sucks up more space and its cleverly modeled like a spin off of a mac. you can’t deny that. Its still useless, and frustrating, but now they just look despirate. Imagine every single time you are frustrated with your PC’s preformance. every time. sadly its so dissapointing that if your computer were to freeze, it would just be another ‘whatever’ mistake. what about when it takes forever to load anything? every single frustration is completely eliminated with a mac. no more waiting, programs you will accually use, no need for that pesky and expensive vrius protection that never works anyway. Its hard to imagine if you’ve only owned PC. its unthinkable, but its true. When you come home and groan because you need to spend two hours at that huge, loud mess of cords that is a PC, you need to understand that that is a problem. And it can be fixed.

regardless, ive been a mac user for a few years now and it has honestly made me a better person

i currently used 2 laptop, a dell inspiron(win.) & a new macbook. I’m still studying. I used software occasionally wamp, vb, premiere, photoshop, flash, fl studio. Due to that i left my macbook to dust at home. It seems very hard for me to adapt to mac.

i just use my mac for browsing internet, listen music, thats all. Y ppl love it?idk, yea it gd looking but its troublesome(for me). I dont even have a game in my macbook.

I’ve installed parallel os(win) on my macbook. When i run win on it, its sooo slow. I cant even play/install a mini game such as reflexive arcade’s. I also installed office in mac, and its, yes SLOW(compared to other laptop w/ same spec).

kinda regret buying a macbook. I could buy 2 laptop rather than 1 macbook. Or i could buy 1 laptop and 1 large monitor. T.T But after studying maybe i’ll be using my macbook again just for photoshop i think. If i can remember where i put it.

To all mac lovers, please help me how could i enjoy my macbook?
do u play any games on ur mac?
oh please!
