Mac or PC

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

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.

haha, i am completely divided:

I like to do general computing in opensuse linux
I am a gamer so i have vista 64 on my main PC
I adore the hardware design of the new macbook

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.

PC, more games.

[Ignoramus]

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.

You know whats really wierd, mac has less than 10% of the computer market, but I seem to see easily a quater to a third of laptops on college campuses be macs

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.
