athalon012 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 does anyone here have a particular preference? i'm in the market for a new laptop, and seeing as macs can now run windows xp, http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/publicbeta.html, i might get a mac. i have used a mac only a few times though, and i'll have to try one out before making my choice.Ā has anyone tried the bootcamp thing? if so, does it work well?

Black Rose Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 If budget isn't an issue, get a Mac.Ā Although they are a bit more expensive than a typical windows computer, they are a lot better. The computer I use at work is a Mac and it's so quick and easy to use and find all the files you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Uhh.... Windows just for simplistic reasons.Ā Ā I'd use Linux before I used Mac. Apple sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best u Can Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 my problem with linux is that I have a lot of microsoft hardware attached to my computer and as far as I know, none of it is compatible with Linux. At least I don't think so. I was going to partition my drive to use both Windows and Linux on this computer, but my drive is too small...Ā The biggest problem I have with Linux is that I'm not sure I could install a wireless network with it. I probably couldn't even get the drivers to work. I use a Buffalo G Network Adapter (cheapest one I could find) and I don't think it would work with Linux either. Or would it? Am I just retarded?Ā I don't think it would be compatible with my all-in-one 4.5 year-old HP printer either. Or would it? I have a lot of custom hardware on my computer... And I'm too lazy to go download 50 different programs and drivers from the Linux site just to work these things. Therefore I like my WinXP.Ā Also, even though mine freezes a lot :rolleyes: I love the interface on Windows Live Messenger. And I could only use aMSN on Linux (if I had my computer working on the internet)Ā I'm sure Macs are probably great. The only thing is you have to buy THEIR hardware only. You can't buy a Dell-Apple. That's my main problem with Apple, because they're so expensive... and some of the Macs are ugly. Although I wouldn't mind a mac mini...Ā That is why I say XP is the best for me. It has given me many problems. But I don't see what all the Linux fuss is about. It doesn't work for all my custom hardware. (or I am too retarded to try it) And the Mac hardware is so expensive... I saw a comparison of a Mac for $6,000 USD and a PC for $6,000 USD and the PC was twice as fast. I'm sorry, but I'd much rather use a slightly problematic OS that is compatible with pretty much any hardware you can buy AND twice as fast.

mysongislove1915 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ^^Me too. =) I bought a MacBook about 5 months ago and I love it. The good thing is that I have two other PCs in my house just in case (they're both my dad's) but I really only need it to update my BlackBerry, really. It's so easy to use and setting it up took like, no time at all. I'm never going back! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
