This thread is a DISCUSSION. SO DISCUSS. I don't want to see any comments saying, "macs r gay lololol" READ this post and then answer it.
So anyway, me being a hipster douche bag and all, I use a mac. It's not the newest model, second newest, but it works fine. And so I was watching those hilarious "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" and it got me thinking. At this point in our modern era, it does not matter. Sure, 10 years ago it would be a HUGE difference in choosing between the two, but now, both sides are losing their definitive aspects. Any smart PC user won't get (m)any viruses, they'll use a decent graphics card, and they know how to do everything simply. Macs are introducing video games with Steam and whatnots, the awesome applications like imovie aren't free anymore and they're getting more compatible with programs. The discussion has been redundant. Regarding hardware, with macs, you'll be paying for quality, but any smart computer user will tell you that it's overpriced and it's purely for the aesthetics, but it's not considerably more powerful. The hardware with PC's can range from excellent to terrible, so it's really much more flexible. Comparing the two operating systems, they've gotten even more similar since snow leopard and windows 7, with nothing that's ever really bugged me from either side. Now don't get me wrong, these are two different computers, but all the arguments and debate over which is better has long passed the point of it mattering. Now a mature person will tell you that it never mattered, but shut up; my thread!
So, the question is: Which one do you use and how does it affect your usage of the computer? Could you do everything you normally do on your current computer on the other? Are there any myths that you would like to explain that aren't true?
P.S. I know nothing about Linux so that's why it wasn't discussed here but feel free to talk about it.
I know it's a bit late but I'll add another question for discussion. Would you think that a mac is a better choice if it was cheaper? It seems like a stupid question but think about it.
