Mac VS PC

I've gone through 2 Dells (laptop and desktop) in the past 4 years. The desktop died out last week and I just bought a macbook on monday. I'm really digging the mac. I was just wondering what everyone else preferred.

PC for Desktops
MAC for Laptops

I hate dells.. but I have the only dell right now that I would ever make an exception for. Dell Inspiron.
Best running top rated laptop of my life.

Dell desktops are.. well.. not the best.. neither are other types of laptops.

Anyhow, this is more a question about software? Mac is more of a competitor with Windows PC soo.. I prefer Windows because thats what I'm used to. I love Macs, but I think they are more useful in a studio where movies, pictures, and animations need to be created and edited. I like windows because it's more friendly for families and casual internet surfing/ computer using.

I HATE Windows Vista. I will only get XP. EVER.

Pc hands down...

Thats what I've always heard but i feel like the mac I just got is so much easier to use than the PC's I've had. Everything just makes a lot more sense to me.

MAC For th win!!!!!

I have used both but after i converted to using macs my first year in college i will never go back to a pc... Cuz my Mac runs OSX and XP :D

between the two, there really isn't a whole lot of difference between what the software can/ can't do, and for the most part the hardware is pretty comparable. If you do ANY gaming, go with pc, especially if you play newer games. for general computing, i'll say pc only because that what i'm used to and my actual first choice (linux :salute:) isn't on the list. my roommate got me hooked on it and its the only OS that's going on my laptop when i eventually format it.

Oh boy this could be technical here.

I LOVE MAC for photoshopping, editing, and creating different types of videos and pictures.

I LOVE PC for their user friendly OS's, and you don't have to send it in every time to get it fixed. PC's have the majority of their problems taken care of by going to the a Entertainment store (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.) and they have easy interfaces.

So, I like them both. But I get payed more to fix a PC than a Mac because I don't have to send it in.....lol.;)

I just went out and bought a new laptop the other day. I looked at MACS and honest to god they're kind of a ripoff. A mac with an 80 gig harddrive and 2gigs of RAM is like 1100.00. I bought a Toshiba Satellite A505 or something Special Edition and it came with 4gigs of RAM and a 320 gig harddrive for 1,000 with a 2 year extended warranty and this thing is perfect! PC all the way.

I use a new iMac at work and I have a custom built PC at home that costed me half as much.

My overall thoughts:
I'd trash my PC in a heart beat and buy another iMac.

If you want a quality, durable machine, go with Mac. Don't forget, Mac's can run Windows.

If you're on a super tight budget, go with a PC. Both have their pros and cons. It depends on how it's used. I completely agree that if you're a gamer, PC is what you need.
