Pc vs Mac : Points about why Mac sucks

YouTube - why mac sucks with hunter cressall and some truth about it Some truth about the Mac and why it sucks.

I think its fair to say that mac has been officially OWNED!

Talk about an old video, but yeah, everything he says is true.

I used a Mac a lot in high school for my various graphics classes, and I can strongly say that PCs are much better.

Yeah at my old primary scholl we had MACs and at my house I had Pc and I was constantly asking the teacher "WTF IS THIS THING?" then it locked up and I just walked off. My old scholl were given the Macs from Council or something cause they didn't want them and neither did my school (and I can see why).

Talk about an old video. Did you ever think that because it's an old video that the information thereof is outdated, even if some of it was true? Not to mention this video is a total joke. Every Mac hater posts a link to it and says "lolz, Mac just got owned!1one!"

None of that is true. None. And Duo, I have the exact opposite experience at school in my graphics classes. They use XP, and just last class I was trying to make something in CS2, and it kept locking up... 3 times. And I had to restart CS2 every time. Then I just gave up and did something else. Frustrating? Yes.

And my computer at home? A Mac. It works far better than any computer in my school. I can do anything I actually want to do in Photoshop, and any other program for that matter with no problems.

To be fair, I think that any computer you use at school will be far worse than any machine you use at home. I think that school computers get their fair share of abuse from the many careless and trouble-making kids that use them. To use a Mac at school and compare it to your computer at home running your preferred OS isn't a fair comparison. I just told the above story to show how your point isn't valid.

1)That Video is REAAAAALLY old...
2)Neo Link is absolutely correct.

At the time of making that video,some of its contents were true,I'd give it that much.
But today,Windows cannot stand up against OSX,now matter how you look at the actual programs,OSX itself is better than windows.
By this I'm saying,I don't care how many people are using either operating system worldwide,I'm just comparing the OS's.
Plain and simple.
And the best way to compare them for yourselves is to learn both OS's.
If you've never used a mac in your life,don't go trying to use one expecting magic.Learning is a process.Its quite easy to learn anyway

That was hilarious!!!

Man I knew I never liked macs, ever since I used one. Yay PCs!

Time to repeat myself again.

As I've said before, OSX is superior to Windows. Period. There is really no arguing that.

However, it IS NOT worth buying a Mac. Mac hardware is essentially the same as PC hardware, only it costs a lot more. The only difference is, you can't really upgrade a Mac, so when you buy it (unless you drop the cash on one of those $3 grand Mac Pro systems) you're stuck with what it has in it, aside from the ram and disk drives.

It's disgusting, really. I can't see the point in paying extra for hardware I can't customize down the road. Plus, one can just run OSX on regular x86 PC's nowadays with the right trickery, so there is really no point in buying a Mac anymore.

Recently, Apple computers have better hardware than your general PC, and now with Windows Parallels and Boot Camp, you can run Windows and Mac OSX on a Mac, so therefore you get two OS's for the price of one computer/OS. It would follow logically that with the superior hardware and dual software capability, Mac computers are better. Sorry.

Besides, OSX is easier to learn and start using faster than Windows. And Vista just plain sucks these days, so its not like Windows is providing any competition. AND, Vista pretty much copies a lot of Mac stuff, so there.

Both use x86 based hardware. The only difference is, you have a better degree of control over what goes inside a normal PC. The 'better hardware' argument may have worked back in the PowerPC days, but not anymore, as you can build a PC that costs a lot less than a Mac with the same or even less-powerful hardware.

You can also run Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and whatever else you feel like (so long as it is x86 compatable) on most newer PCs. Your argument has been rendered null and void.

I simply use Windows because there is more software available for it. Nuff said'

EDIT: This is the part where I post a bias comment.

Want have the latest and greatest hardware?
Want the ability to upgrade your computer?
Want to play games and use popular software?
Want more than one button on you mouse?
Want out of the box compatibility with nearly every peripheral ever made?
Want to not pay allot for this muffler?
In other words, do you want diversity?
Then you want a PC.

Want near zero choice in hardware options?
Want to use last years technology?
Want upgrade to mean throw the old machine our and buy a new one?
Want to never play games or use the software the rest of the world uses?
Want to have questionable peripheral support?
Want to pay 10 times more what you should?
Want to be locked into crappy proprietary hardware and software?
Then you want a Mac.

PC = Power and choice at a reasonable price.
Apple = Last years proprietary technology at inflated prices.

If you are young and hip with a sense of individuality you own a PC, because it can be customized to your specifications; it becomes a reflection of your ego, and still have money left over for a car, school, and something besides ramen noodles.

Mac users think they are being anti establishment by choosing a Mac over a PC, but fighting the machine by locking yourself into someone else’s version of your needs is reminiscent joining any other brainwashing cult that wants you to hand over all of your cash.

All I can say is that I prefer Windows over Mac simply because i've never used a Mac in my live.. ever!

Well, that's not entirely true. Mac hardware is designed differently - usually - than regular hardware which is why you can't easily upgrade it. You CAN upgrade it, but it's really not worth it. (Or, well, it wasn't worth it; with the introduction of Pentium processers I imagine it's been made easier and more useful).

Now, although you might not be able to customize the hardware down the road, by the time you really do need to customize it you should have the cash to just purchase a new Mac. Afterall, a Mac's only real use is within the art department and the audio department. (And even then, they're not widely used in the 3D modeling scene).

As for OSX being superior to Windows... well, that's a loaded statement. You're comparing one generation of an operating system to a series of generations. Let's compare it two it to the latest two instead.

OSX vs. XP. XP is a lot more straight forward, easy to navigate and just generally obvious. It's intuitive. I've heard the quote, numerous times, that operating OSX is like "tricking the Mac into doing what you want it to do." That is a stand I firmly stand by. Though it is pretty, I will give it that.

On the stability issue... Really, they're running about one in the same. One night I managed to crash three different OSX Macs in a row (each multiple times), two simply by logging in.

But I've used MAC before, and I've really have been getting into the actual technology, but I prefer PC because of it's interface that's it. But MAC has somewhat of an advatage to PC, in some ways.

The comment I posted above was really just for entertainment purposes nothing serious really.

Posting in here will just be a waste of time, energy, and well, it's basically just pointless. But oh well.
Who cares which one is better. Have your own personal preference/opinion, and to those who love to bash the Mac. Keep it up, your ignorance is quite entertaining. And it doesn't matter if you've "used" a Mac. If you've not used each operating system, on somewhat equivalent hardware, on a day to day basis, to do the same tasks, you cannot give a fair opinion. I can say that, before September of last year, I had been using Windows, day to day, for the previous 6 years, and XP for the previous 2 years. I ended up trying out OSx86 on my PC, and instantly loved it. It made using computers fun again, learning a whole new operating system, and all it's tricks. It also, multi-tasked better than XP did on the same machine, and even ran smoother and faster. So I ended up forking over $2100 on an iMac, and I'm glad I didn't go for a PC. I'll never be going back to Windows, at most, I'll run a version of it in Boot Camp, or Parallels(which I am now), if I ever need to run a Windows program.

And just as others have pointed out, none of those things in that video are true, or maybe my Mac is just always willing?

Apple always seems to put everything at high prices... IPODS and stuff.

PCs are waaaay better then macs in everyreason. That video is right. Macs suck.

I've seen this about 300 times and it never fails to amaze me how stupid the guy in the video looks.

I ran windows, I used a mac, I converted. its a matter of preference. I dont think Windows sucks, so why does everyone using windows think macs sucks?

Get over yourselves, they're operating systems for different people. Macs are better for graphical things, while windows is better at other things like games and work etc.

How do I know that some guy with the brain the size of a peanut will post after me trying to shut me down saying that windows is so much better than macs at graphical things. Great, say what you want, I have experience while half of you dont.

Have fun with your Operating system fanboyism (and no I'm not a mac freak, I have a windows machine and a mac. I know what i'm talking about)
