But how much longer will this last. With windows based system performing the same tasks as macs but faster. Even adobe admits that the fastest windows systems beats macs by a healthy margin. The reason they'll keep using macs is the same reason most mac users keep using them. They love them even to the point of doing extra work to use them. As to macs switching to intel they are rumors ,but a whole lot of the software that mac uses love is optimized for the motorola chips and it will cost a great deal to optimize for intel. That is what is standing in the way of the switch and that is why many don't believe it will happen. I wonder how much a mac with a 3.06 ghz pentium will go for? $4000 I'm not really trying to bash macs. As far as I know they are superb computers that fit a small nitch market, but I don't see them expanding anytime soon.

MAC's are not crap, that simply isn't true. They have always been a premium product for a niche market. And because they have controlled the production of their products, they have been able to keep there system much more stable than PC's. The biggest problem with Windows is the infinite combinations of hardware that the OS must try to control. MAC has a finite amount of hardware combos, so the OS is more stable. Until I switched over to WinXp from Win2K I was seriously considering a MAC, just for the OS stability. I was sick and tired of having to tinker with it all the time. I just wanted it to work. I'm sure all of us PC users have had our productivity slowed or stopped because of something not working right in our PC. Or you buy a game or a piece of hardware and you end up rebuilding your whole computer to get it to work. I have run every itinerating of Windows except WinMe and WinXP Pro is by far the most stable. I really do like the Powerbook's styling. I agree they are too expensive for the performance, but you can get used to anything.
For sure if MAC moves to an IBM PPC or an Intel chip, and the performance catches up, I will defiantly get a Powerbook. I don't think I would switch, but I would add one to the stable.

Should I go ahead and rename this thread to "Tired MAC vs. PC Flame-debate" ??

Since we're no longer on the subject of "Clevo Page Update" (remember that? that's the topic of this thread).

We can all continue this in the OFF TOPIC for Members section... thanks
