Mac or PC

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.

PC for me. Apple's ads positively annoy the heck out of me, plus the expensive-ness factor. I mean, have you seen their most recent ones that blast windows for advertising?

PC, but am atempting to try dual booting Ubuntu, but having problems.

Mac? What's Mac? Never seen one before. And no, I'm not that ignorant.

Hello Caius,

http://www.apple.com/

Apple Macintosh.

I guess you've seen some icons. The apple with a bite out of it at the right. It used to be layered from top to bottom: green, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue ( http://telcontar.net/Artwork/icons/ ), but you see black and also white logos. The Mac Classic became a computer icon: a tiny all in one box. This one gives a good idea: http://www.flickr.com/photos/satta/2037359516/
