ramses niblik 3 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Is there any mac users out there willing to be a contestant in a battle that they cant win? (I got a PC if you haven't guessed already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmac Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Proudly biased statement: Anyone with a Mac should die now. For several reasons: (1) The things are just hideous(2) The mouse has only one button(3) The interface is horrible(4) The fashions (iFruit or whatever) are disgustingly unattractive There is no defense, save suspension of good judgement, to buy a Mac.

wesaynothin Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Well, no one makes viruses for macs, but that is one, ONE, good thing. Most games are uncompatible with macs The mouse has one friggin button Things come out for windows usually, and if the mac people are lucky they'll get a port. Hah! Windows beat you macses!!! (do not take this statement as a sign of me liking micosoft. I hate the company and Bill Gates. Goodbye.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanateros Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I'm sensing that this is going to be nothing more than a mac bashing thread, so before it's locked I'm gonna jump on the band wagon. Foremost is the cost. They are way overpriced and if anything breaks and it isn't under warranty well you can kiss some well earned money out the window. You could build your own PC that could outdo their best model for much less. Yes the mouse sucks, but they do make two button mouses for macs so that isn't so much of an issue anymore. PC's = worldwide staple of computer use by pretty much anyone, especially since it costs a lot less for software companies to make programs for Windows since they are appealing to a much greater user base. Games games games...Mac's just don't do games...period The commercials. PC users would never see their product in a commercial that was made to look like a VW bug ripoff. I needn't say more on that subject. So if you value your technological well being you'll go with a PC Though I too think Windows sucks the big one, if time travel were possible, Bill would be first on my list. ...oh wait i forgot Diablo II can be run on a Mac forget everything I said...I mean why buy a PC when I can pay twice as much to kill hordes upon hordes of demons in the hope that one will drop that Buriza i've been itching for!!

Peregrine Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 1) The cost. For the cost of a mac, I can buy a gaming pc and at least one pc just to do rendering (if not 2 or 3!). That's pure insanity. A pc can do everything I want to do for much less cost, so why would I buy a mac? 2) Limited software. This is simple fact, macs have very limited software options. It's true for games, it's true for everything else. And a lot of what they do get is poor or delayed ports of pc titles. 3) Performance is less than impressive. For their cost, macs should produce amazing performance. But they don't. Especially with 3d rendering, which is even worse than other areas.... they simply lag far behind pcs in that area. 4) The ugly expensive cases. It's just stupid. Not only do they look ugly, but adds to the cost. Give me a plain gray box and a few hundred $$$ extra in my bank account. 5) No hardware option. Buy mac or buy nothing. Compared to pc with tons of competing manufacturers, so you have everything you could want at a lower price. 6) Limited upgrade options. Getting behinds with a mac? Buy the next one. Getting behind with a pc? Go to the local hardware store and buy an upgrade or two. Reuse all the parts that don't need upgrading. 7) Infinite compatability problems. Want to use the same files/software on pc and mac? Has hell frozen over yet? ============================================== Now let's look at the good side.... uh.... 1) Something about better performance with photoshop.

ramses niblik 3 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 i was kinda hoping that there would be a mac user out there to argue with, but you all still seem to be paying macs out pretty good so i'm happy, i salute you. this is the first ever debate i've been in where everyone agrees oh yeah, wesaynothing at our school there is a whole heap of macs with viruses on them, looks like the one good thing about macs in this debate just went down the toilet. oh yeah, peregrine, maybe I shouldn't double post. thank you for being a kind generous moderator and not banning me for my betrayal of the forum.

Shakkara Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Uhh how much is true for the statement that Mac's do not crash? Bah, all the PC needs is a good, functional, cheap/free OS. And right now there aren't any. No matter what you do to linux, it still can't run all games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
