I'm rather biased against Mac's because I only use Mac's at school. And they are the shitty kind that are slow and crash frequently. I just looked it up on google, and Mac's are apparently reliable. Must be a different type than what I commonly see and use. Oh well, as far as my knowledge goes, you can't customize a Mac the same way you can customize a PC.

EDIT: Lol, move this to the Computers section plz :P

the macs at school are an exception...they just suck...... other apple computers are really nice inside and out. I use pc at home, I'm just more used to it....so I vote PC...unfairly.

Mac.
Well, I have OSX, a great version, never crashed.
The PC that we have is my graphics computer. It is slow as hell. (And needs an antivirus system)
It crashed, so I am graphic-less for a while.

Most macs that are used in schools have OS 9 on them. And yes, OS9 sucks. However, an OS X 10.4 or higher is sleek and well thought out.

OffTheChain

all computers in school suck these days. especially their crappy wireless internet xD
I dont know how macs usually run, but yeh i heard they're quite reliable.

It depends what you want to do. Any kind of picture or video editing should be done on a Mac. Any type of business work or gaming should be done on a PC.

I also like how PCs are completely customizable and constantly upgradeable. Macs aren't.

I sort of feel that Macs are like consoles. For a set price, you get a set machine, so there's no jealousy of other Mac users, you get a set standard of hardware for a set standard of software, and little risk of crashing.
I only prefer PCs because I can use them.

THe mac's production cycle is longer and their OS is developed to cooperate with the long spanding hardware life.

Personally I've stripped a few macs and found them to be near identical to PCs just by looking at the cicuitry. Macs are good, but the only thing that I want from them is that new sexy Macbook :P

pc hardware has always been known to be alot more hardcore....thats why mac went to intel to get their new processors....and mac used to have like NO support but now they strive in a marketing ploy to do things like bootcamp and allow full support between pc/mac....which is good....but i like how microsoft is answering by saying....we dont need to do that to get customers....

So true.

Correction: APPLE went to Intel because IBM refused to give them more cpus and instead put the PowerPC CPU concentration in the XBOX 360. That is why they had to switch.

Microsux doesn't need that to get customers because they dont make computers. They make the software and maybe the XBOX Hardware.

Its the OS that needs to be altered to allow a pc to run Mac not the hardware...at least now, since mac stuff works on intel....thats why there are ways for people with PC's to install Mac OS X on their comp....

And i kinda agree with microsoft stealing stuff...lol....
but stop being so indie newb =D and saying i'm so cool w/ my mac and just look at the facts..... its a matter of opinion.... for each person mac or pc is better....there cant be a declared winner

First of all if you are willing to be my first ban in a month, leave "noob" in that. Otherwise change it to "newb" (according to Shino's deffinition of flamming.

Next. I don't own or use macs right now. I have atleast 5 pcs running at any given time. On top of that matter get YOUR facts right. You stated that Apple was using the Intel fad as a new marketing ploy WRONG. IBM stopped making chips for Apple thus they switch out of neccesity. Bootcamp is a market ploy becuase they need more business and the fact that they released a copy of their OS that DOES work on intel chipsets even though its not labled for PC. It only makes sense to have a counter.

Most importantly don't fucking call me a indie noob. I've been a experienced nerd since 1993 which is before any of you got outta of diapers as well as worked as implementor/"solution designer"/technician to PC and Mac networks and systems for the last 5 years in my former school district and now Texas A&M University Energy System Lab.

Im also A+, N+, Security+, and almost MCSE certified.
