Because you're a child and your opinion is irreverent compare to the mature members here.

Dom uses Cinema 4D? Now I'm intrigued.

God, that sounds familiar.

Because I really don't want to put up with it if I don't have to.

No one's forcing you.

Sure, in speed Macs are slower then a PC. But if you looks at a Apple Laptop and one from Dell or HP you would be crazy to not see which one looks more solid.

Looks can be deceiving...

Sony on the other hand has great laptops!~ ^^

We're not talking about Sony.

And I'm not leaving because "People dissagree with me" like people are saying on my profile.

It sure looks like it.

And I'm not leaving because "I'm WRONG" Because it's my opinion and more then one person agrees with me. Just not the people here apparently, maybe some of you have never even used Macs before.

I'm betting a lot of us have used Macs before. I even know some people on this forum that agree with you.

Build quality.

OH NO! WE'VE ALL BEEN PROVE-...
Wait, it's a guide on how to take the Macbook apart, and it doesn't compare the Macbook to any other computer.

No, I'm not WRONG. People just don't understand what I'm saying.

We do, you're just wrong, though.

Maybe because I don't explain things very well. I didn't ask for this to be turned into so silly debate of people (maybe even never used Mac) posting all the reasons why this this and that.

You forced it into one.

All I did was make one comment.

One wrong comment, followed by a bundle of more wrong comments.

Talk about derailing topics ><

Sony on the other hand has great laptops!~ ^^

'Nuff said.

Fix'd.

I'm arguing for both sides but people still argue back.

Well, now that I have Vista, I'll be sure to upgrade.

Haven't made anything worthwhile in ages...

What ?

$5

2. Aluminum unibody enclosure (This mean less parts and it's not as heavy as most laptops) This can also decrease failure rates.
$20, also the allu bends under moderate pressure and has been shown to cause failures

3. Green. I'm a hippie so I care about this. The computer uses less power and is over all less harmful to the enviroment. Why would this come cheap?
FYI apple has failed it's share of environmentally friendly tests, and the systems don't really use less power, especially if they have higher end parts.

4. Also, like I said before, Aluminum is more expensive then Plastic.
$0, already accounted for

And Face recognition (iPhoto 09) iMovie and a bunch of other high quality music photo and movie editing software come with it. So if you wanted to buy all that with a PC the price would be about the same (as far as laptops go)
FYI, windows live cams have this, as do most other webcameras. Also open source software is FREE, sorry your value added for this is $0

Accept with the PC you would still get a chunk of plastic and a bunch of other stuff harmful to mother earth and the Apple would still have the higher build quality.
yes when you compare a system with an average selling price of $500 to one with an ASP of $1500, you can expect the more expensive one to be a bit better. Why don't you compare $1500 PCs to $1500 macs and tell me which performs better, has superior build quality and has superior battery life

I'm basically already aware that people that make posts like yours just don't know anything about Apple or the computers they make, or any other computer for that matter.
protip, some do. Apple makes PC clones(they use intel processors the last time I checked) just like dell and HP. The main difference is that they have a diferent operating system and are designed to look a bit prettier. if that's worth $$$$ to you, it's your choice. I'd rather just buy a cheap ass PC, pirate OSX, install it and laugh at you for having paid three times as much for something which isn't that much better. then when mine breaks in 2 years, I'll buy another which will be roughly twice as powerful as the one it replaced at the same price while you're using an obsolete, worn down piece of junk. Then when yours breaks in a year after that, and lets be realistic laptops break quickly... you'll have to buy another one... congrats, I'm still $1000 ahead and have a working system while you're shelling out another $1500. FYI I wouldn't bother installing OSX, no benefit really, I'd just slap on some random linux distro...

And I take it since no one has answered my questions about the said price of Windows 7. People just prefer to pick on me for using Mac? If your going to insult me for the computer I use then atleast use real facts...
if you have a retail copy of vista it's a free upgrade. And yes, you do use real facts - without putting them into the proper context. It's like asking Bill clinton if he had sexual relations with lewinski and having him answer "no," referring to the reporter

virtualization isn't emulation. Virtualization is basically running one OS inside of the other. command prompt in windows XP emulates dos. running dos in VMware is different. Both accomplish the same thing.

it's basically just a closely integrated VM, nothing to get excited about, you could have done this in vista albeit you'd have needed VMware or some other virtualization program and it wouldn't have been so closely integrated

it's called a margin of error.

FYI those systems aren't always speced the same 100%, they have different memory timings, different chipsets/strap settings, and a few other things. heck, PC to PC things aren't always the same. going from one motherboard to another gives me a half a percentage point difference in certain benchmarks.

in the PC community, if the difference is so small that it can only be measured but not perceived... NOONE CARES.

I actually like Windows Vista on are home computer. I do not see why everyone seems to hate it. It works fine for me and I do not even know very much about computers...

I remember my friend tried the Windows 7 demo and it looks a lot like Vista but she says it runs a lot better. I never really used Windows XP but I used 95 and Vista. And I used Mac OS 7 9 and ten. Is it true most people still use XP instead of Vista? I am just curious ^^

most new computers come with vista. It's not as bad as Apple's marketting wants you to beleive. I actually prefer it to XP at this point.

that said win7>vista.

One of the only thing I like about Vista is that it looks really nice.


But in my opinion, it's much slower than Vista and some old hardware is harder to run on it.

Well Vista does seem to freeze a lot. But haven't all the Windows done that when you leave the computer on for a long time? I just do not understand the fuss. Maybe it works better for some people and worse for others.

But when Mac OS 9 used to crash... it would crash. I always had to restart the computer. Mac os ten has not really crashed yet... but my friend says Apple has years and years put into it... Vista is still kind of new. I think a lot of people just need to give it a chance ^^

I just know one thing: With Vista my computer crashed almost constantly, (mind you, this was on a so called 'Vista Ready' computer.) with XP I run in to the occasional "this program needs to be shut down" error but nothing serious.

That is my favourite error by the way; "The Program has encountered an error and needs to shutdown", especially when as long as I don't click OK the program continues to run perfectly. Perhaps they can fix that as well.

I HATE that, because on my dad's computer, his new one, Vista always says that until he bought a newer version of his software.


But I have XP.

LOL Wow.

You really have no idea what you're talking about/how to argue.

I like how you use piracy to help devalue Macs. Because piracy is totally PC exclusive. ROFL.

I don't remember anyone saying that.
