    PC. It's cheaper, it rarely fails me (alright, it fails sometimes, but at least I can fix it), it has a great price to performance ratio, and it plays games. Most of my favourite applications work on a PC as well.

    I'd buy a Mac... if the price for one was anywhere near sane.

    Since it's not and likely never will be sane, it's PC for me.

    Default AW: Mac or PC

    PC, more games.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    For games, definitely PC. But sadly we have a Mac now, so I've come to rely on Bootcamp.

    An and apple isn't that expensive, got a macbook for 1000 euro with 4 hours of heavy use and 5 a 6 hour battery if I treat it gently. It's fast as can be it does 2d imaging at blinding speed, A good laptop this powerful with that much batterylife is only slightly cheaper then that, and not nearly as cool. It's also a delight to use, feel of the keyboard is fantastic, and shutting it down or booting it up, swoosh&bang. Going to stick with this.

    I say both, but it has to be PC for me. Break it, start from scratch, nothing happens.
    Macs are amazing work platforms though.

    The new MacBook costs AUS$2,100 here, (approx €1100) and apart from the battery it has worse hardware than the new Studio 15 my dad bought (which cost him AUS$1300). The new Dells are very chic, not a sleek as Macs, but getting there. For me as a lowly Uni student AUS$2000 is a lot of money, and if I were going to spend that kind of cash I'd buy a nice beast of a PC.

    At my Uni it seems to be about 20%. But I think if people buy a Mac they're more inclined to buy a laptop.
