You shouldn't

because you are looking for reasons to do so

ya got me

Do you like automatic, debilitating , forced software updates at the worst possible time? Do you like shitty preview options, and horrible sound controls right out of the box?
Do you like viruses? Are you poor? Do you have no class? Are you a gamer bitch with no life? Are you a child or developmentally disabled?

If you answered yes to any of the above, congratulations, get a pc.


Otherwise the adults will have a mac.

You like paying 3x the price for the equal amount of shit? Buy mac

Do you want to text with your keyboard?
Do you want to work with... any kind of media?
Do you want simple clean, ad free, torrent programs?
Do you hate ads on skype?

Do you want your devices to just work with each other?
Ccongratulations, get a mac.

straight up. i use a macbook for work and business purposes, but for everything else use windows. there's no reason for a mac unless you're too lazy to protect your pc correctly.

I've just woken up, is this 2001?

he makes a good point about skype, everything else windows does equally at this point

Windows > for normies
Mac > for people with more money than sense
Linux > for IT pros

fun fact - when the mac pro 2013 came out, hardware wise it was on the bleeding edge, and priced crazy low. through deals with amd and other manufactures, they had crazy low prices for the power $9k+ for about $6k.
their lower teir stuff, the macbooks, imacs and such, they're shit. but the mac pro was the goddamn beast.

hardware wise it's not true anymore that the mac pro is superior. not since gtx titan x came out.

good (fast simple intuitive) sound and spacebar preview - the two best features of mac imo are missing entierly from windows. they can be found in 3rd party software. if you know where to look, still a hassle.

also the texting thing, not even joking - so much easier to text people from my computer than my phone if i'm already at the keyboard. - under apperciated feature.

it's a tiny bit better and more expensive (this is enough reason)

These days with automatic updates on and stock anti-virus it would genuinely surprise me if someone managed to get any sort of virus or malware on their PC unless they installed it themselves, there's not much out there that can get in with out dumb ass users helping it.

Mac has more porn

that and WoW is being updated to metal.

seriously, metal is the shit.

given equal hardware games run up to 60% better on metal than directx12.

with mac pro's 12gig vcards... that is beast!

so you're willing to deal with forced updates, usually at the most inconvenient time?

Can i log into more than one account at the same time on Mac easily? on windows i use shortcuts with /secondary added but half the time it doesn't work on the first go

well i mean, of course there's a dumber ass... if you are on windows... there'll always be a dumber ass.

usually have my phone near me, and im not too lazy to pick it up and use a touch screen for 2 seconds. but i totally understand the convenience, it just never hooked me as a reason to own one. it was more the ease of use for photoshop, email and porn... mainly porn... acutally, just porn. macs are great for porn

coming from someone who owns an IT business you would be very surprised

true dat.

no you cant, thats why its literally for work and mostly porn at late night. no GOOD reasons for a mac in all honesty, swore by em for years... i regret that decision so much now

so porn.
media.
running games (with metal)
general safety from viruses
also cleaner snappier navigation in general.
these are the things mac does better.
if that's worth it to you - buy a mac.

porn alone is worth it. the rest is just a bonus!

Because you're a faggot.

You shouldn't unless you really want an overpriced retard-friendly machine that limits you to the Apple sandbox world.

Anything after Windows 7 is also a bad choice, why not learn how to use a real computer, Linux can sometimes be tough but you will learn so much more
join us

Are you mentally challenged? Are you too lazy to actually research and understand PC's in order to get the most out of your purchase? Are you a hipster? Do you like cock up your asshole? Would you rather a $1600 facebook machine over a $1600 beastly PC? Are you actually that retarded, ignorant and fucking degenerate?

>If you answered yes to these jump off a cliff after you buy your shitty mac.


If you like iPhone, iPad or whatever I dont care thats 90% preference but there's like no reason at all to choose a Mac over building your own rig. Other than being a retarded hipster faggot.

windows is shit you can break easy, linux is shit you can fix. mac is polished shit that you can't break easy.

it's all the same shit anyway.

Because I own both, and my macbook air shits over everything else I've had in terms of build quality, OS stability, and even aesthetics (boring but nice, like a porsche).

If you don't use your PC all the time though there is no point, as nice as a mac is, unless you can afford to waste money needlessly.

I used to like windows 10, but my windows laptop is now full of bugs after updating, which is enormously slack on microsoft's part.

are you an asshat yelling on the internet to stangers about their personal choices... congratuations you're using windows...


oh wait - fuck, those have nothing to do with each other.

maybe actually pay attention to prices when they matter (they don't right now) septemper they will.

and go ahead, look at the new super high end apple computer and compare what it would actually cost to build a windows equal...

cause if it was anything like the mac pro in 2013 - you are going to be rather surprised.

macs can break easily, but they're great for porn... huge difference dawg. if you have attempted to use a mac the same way a standard Sup Forums user uses windows... good fucking luck!

you shoulldnt

Can i install mac os on my regular windows pc?

Buy a Mac if you have to much money and don't know what to do with them

>shoulldnt

yeah a Mac is average spec hardware at a massively inflated price and is essentially built on Linux kernal... it's like a starter version of a computer, that's why it rarely breaks and computer illiterate grannies and toddlers love them so much
Once you learn how to use a real PC you would never consider buying a mac

there's literally no reason to buy a mac when you can install mac os in a pc

anecdotal story time.
bought a macbook pro in 2006.
still working.
friend bought a sony laptop in 2013 - paid about a grand for it. decent laptop.

cut to: 2015.
sony laptop now slower and buggy as shit, screen is broken - hard drive stutters, (fixed) and gennerally slow as shit.

meanwhile - the macbook pro from 2006 is chuggling along just fine. faster internet, photoshop etc than his sony.

moral of the story.

people who shit on macs, obviously never used a mac.
whereas, statisticlly - people who shit on windows probably used windows...

mac people shitting on windows know what they are talking about. windows people shitting on macs don't. plain and simple.

I doubt it will run as smoothly.

My computer auto updates while I'm at work and reboots when i get home. Whats inconvenient about that?

you mean the macbook pro that had the ati x1600 that cooked itself?

buy nice or buy twice.
1 mac laptop lasts about 3 normal ones. based on exp.

linux installed on a mac mini is best computer.I don't know what mini pcs are available

just as smoothly as any other mac I've tried, you just gotta get compatible hardware

or just use Mac OS in Virtual Box if you love it so much, it's easy to setup as long as your PC can handle it

ran wow from BC to cata with no problem. easily 6 - ten hours a day on high setting. no problem.
rendered a shit ton of video.
zero problems.

Macs aren't good value for your money. The only real argument going for macs is that it looks nice and it's arguably easier to use if you've never used a computer before. Ignore the whole muh graphic design people, that argument is outdated.

same reason dual booting or vboxing is frowned upon.
it's shit and a shit compromise.

lucky you

macs last longer - read up.
buy nice or buy twice.

your choice.

This is simply false, Unless you're buying some crappy HP, then indeed a mac might outlast that.

The trackpad is brilliant too. Feels solid, flawless design, and gestures.

it depends what you're doing, obviously vboxing then rendering HD video would be retarded but for most things it's fine and you still get the option to turn it off and use a real PC

new cars are terrible value for your money.
junker cars are really great. but sometimes, you know, you might want something that works and is nice, even if there is a bit of a premium for it not breaking down like a piece of shit.

i stated this after owingn 3 macbooks and 2 imacs, non of which held up anywhere close to pc. i would never comment without testing both sides of the argument. good job jumping to conclusions based off of 1 experience like a retarded apple fanboy would do. dont state shit off of one friends experience that probably doesnt know how to use a computer,i hope you die,

sincerely,
somebody that's not potato

...

/thread

nice trips but i choose Kali Linux both of this are shitty

This thread is not about new vs used, it's about mac vs pc and pc is always better value unless you're brainwashed that macs are actually high quality, they're really not. Like I said the only argument is the OS and even that is highly subjective. Oh and in case you think pcs are crap i've owned 4 each one of them lasting 5+ years after which I simply get a new more powerful one because I'm one of those faggots that plays games however none of the old ones actually died.

Macbooks don't get dusty inside because there are no fans. A cheaper, equivalent laptop would need to be cleaned every so often.

Just one reason why macs might last longer, for the sake of argument.

I stated one friend's experience. i raid in wow. every night, EVERY FUCKING NIGHT some mofo disconnects because their computer decides "hey, you playing wow. fuck you. fuck your worthless corpse - update time" oh, and also your graphics card doesn't work right after the update... good luck and fuck your face"

yeah - mac has it's own issues, but goddamn it, it doesn't pull that shit.

>you don't need to worry about dust if your computer overheats

that's what happens when you don't clean your heatsink vents, your computer overheats and stops working correctly

20+ years... impressive since i'm assuming you're 13 :)

sorry, i don't spend money on wow when i can spend that money at the bar. if you're whole point of buying a computer is to play wow then, go mac i guess... unless your'e too retarded to figure out how to turn off auto updates on a pc

in which case, im sorry for your mental disability, i hope you die

This

whats a mac?

an overpriced disposable computer made out of aluminum made by apple inc

It's a smaller version of the big mac at mcdonalds.

some muck keks at this

>own a Macbook Pro and Windows Desktop

best of both worlds

lol updated to windows 10 a few months ago, you know... when I clicked on the bottom right (inconveniently placed) icon that said update to windows 10 anytime you want

Gaming PC?

I have two macbooks and 4 windows machines. One of my windows pcs is a desktop for gaming. I love my macs, they always work, no browser crashes, etc. Way better than windows. I'm not exactly new to the world of computing either, so I don't care that it's easy to learn for noobs.

>updated to Botnet 10 because Microsoft told me to
and you're bragging about that online...
wow

Kys

>Do you want to use simple programs in a clean environment
Use Mac
>Do you use advanced software programs that aren't supported for Mac
Use Windows
>Are you a gamer?
Buy a PC with Windows, don't pay 50% more for same shit just to get Mac

Yeah mang gaming PC

lol i'm just saying that I wanted to update and chose to do so which seems to be a big problem in some peoples eyes

If you build your gaming PC yourself, it'll probably save you a lot more than 50%. Mac pros are for professionals.

There's no reason, unless you have too much money and care about your image with fellow artistic types

also, still have not yet ran into a problem with windows 10

Yea that's what I meant, order parts and build it yourself, then you will also avoid most bloatware that premade PCs have installed.

You can do the texting on windows.

because it wont force you to download Windows 10

Not knowing what the fuck you're doing around a computer or just being a retarded millenial in general is the main reason I recommend macs and iphones to people. Basically for total screwups or most of the population right now.

So just be honest with yourself. Do you know a lot about using a computer? If the answer is no or you are unsure about the answer or the question makes you mad just save yourself the drama and buy a macbook and an iphone. There easy decision.

you seems to know nothing about malware

Use linux its like mac but free and open source. Girls will be impressed when you tell then you have gentoo.

I like OSX over linux, but Ubuntu is still very good. Dat Terminal.

typically mac owners may be computer literate but most use it as a status symbol, i mean if you make good money you can afford a mac, if your poor you use windows, if you are below poverty you use linux.

Troglodyte detected.

The MOST EXPENSIVE Mac Pro, costing $4000, can't even beat a generic $2000 rig.

Get elementary os. Its linux that looks like macOS.

It's not made for gaming though.

Having done computer repair, I can tell you that Macs aren't the best computers. People who tell you there are, typically used a cheap quality HP machine that they paid like $500 for.
If you want a real quality laptop, buy a quality brand like Asus or Sony. They are better quality then Apple.
Apple laptops aren't good for long term usage (unless it's your Facebook machine). They are built to be so thin that they cook themselves. I've seen so many Macs that were being used in a small business as their work machine, after three years are just crawling to do the most basic tasks. Just look up Mac overheating and you'll notice it's always been a common issue.
Buy a cheap/shitty brand of computer and yeah, a Mac will seem so much better. But buy a good quality PC (look up long term reviews, like laptop failure rates from third party warranty computers like Square Trade) and you'll find they are so much better then anything a Mac makes. My Asus laptop is 6 years old and running like new still, something I never saw with people who tried to do serious work.
It's like people who buy Beats headphones. They'll swear they are the best they've ever had, but then they've only had shitty headphones before, and never bought real quality.
People who buy Macs typically feel the need to buy it as a status symbol (or were told to buy it by the store guy who makes commission).

I've used many laptops, some cheap, some not, and my Macbook is just so much better than all of them. And I would marry my trackpad.

Maybe they have some hardware problems sometimes, but I haven't experienced any yet, though I don't do anything intensive often.

That track pad... I wanted to punch it so much. Worstive ever used.
Had to fix a friend's Mac and didn't have a spare mouse for it so was forced to use the track pad. Never hated something so much. Every single time I wanted to do a right click, I would have to press with both fingers to do a right click, it would cause the mouse to go down the screen about a half inch (OSX 10.7) I would have to try multiple times to get it right.
Maybe Apple fixed it in later OS releases, but it was the worst thing I've every used.
