I would get a PC over a Mac any day however, Macs are far prettier to use, like most Apple products.

I find that Apple uses a aesthetics > function approach to their PC market.

With Windows PC, it's highly customizable, well put together, and with interchangeable parts for all sorts of purposes, but with any of Apples products, they're closed source, hard to diagnose and fix problems, and "repairing" an apple product almost always means just buying a new one, go with the Windows PC my friend

I would have to go with a Windows PC but it comes down to what you're going to be doing with the computer, whether its gaming, or its graphics.

Standard poll question:

Macbook or PC?





Can be personal preference or for any other reasons!
I'm confused on your question are we talking about operating systems or computers?

If it's operating system I'm going with Windows as it's a more reliable operating system than Apple's OS.

If it's computers then it would be PC. Apple overprices their products just like Alienware. You get a build with shitty specs and you basically wasted your money. Yet with a PC you can build yourself one and it'll outperform Alienware or Apple and it costs less.

Wrong, you can't possibly know that. OSX is more secure by design and has the same functionality as Windows does. Windows users may not be able to find the functionality because they are used to their OS being a certain way.

Apple products aren't made for raw performance, if he wanted a system for gaming he would get a PC because game studios don't often produce for OSX. Its not a limitation of the OS, its a choice by developers. OSX is resource efficient also so if the OP wants to use a MacBook like i do, as a daily driver its a perfect choice.

I have a Mac, and trust me if you're going to get one, make sure you buy one with a huge amount of storage space - as I can tell you, I have had the retina display pro for over a year and its 125gb hard drive has caused me soo many problems.

I've personally voted Windows because to be perfectly honest you can have far better specs on a windows pc than a mac for less money - however this usually applies to desktops, as in custom built PC's. If you want portability and decent processing power then maybe I'd suggest a Mac, but you'll want to install windows on bootcamp/parallels for programs that still arent mac compatible, hence why I suggest getting one with a decent hard drive.

OSX actually is less secure. And it's closed source which kills it for me. 0/10, would never buy lol

Explain how. Also while you're at it find me the source code for Windows.

Sorry but I could care less about their security. Only a damn fool would really even let viruses or shit like that slip in. And if they do that's why you use multiple scanners. Not spending extra money on a system when I can basically get the same security for free.

Resource efficient? So you're saying spending over $1000 for a Macbook Pro is efficient? Yet you can get better "efficiency" from a regular laptop preferably any windows one for much much less.

Enjoy pissing your money away.
