Biggie shows a good point there, call me crazy as well, but I agree. Not like I'm sticking up for that guy though,

What a stupid Mac Nut!!! PCs are more superior than Macs. We have a choice with what we want in our systems and with a Mac you don't.
In my opinion here is how a Alienware notebook is
Alienware - Jaquar, BMW , Delorean, Ferarri, Etc
Dell - Ford, Dodge, Pontiac
Hp & Apple - Kias, and other cheap P.O.S!!!

you know you could just use MacWorld and Rogerlbrath.com's own reviews against him. Both are pro Mac sites, and both had to admit that the Area-51m was superior in benchmarks and practical use not only to the Powerbook, but to the desktops as well.

I would not go so far as calling macs POS's, but they did do a good job of shooting themselves inthe foot by being the only ones that sell their computers. If IBM did the same thing with x86, they wouldn't have been any better off.

agreed. Though their OS, and stand-alone product line is rather impressive

Why is that guy beating the plastic case point to a head? Is there no plastic on a Powerbook at all?!?! Heck, the entire lid of the 51m is solid mangesium alloy. And although the lower case shell is plastic, it is very, very solid (more solid feel than my XPS).

two words: software support

Macs have maybe 1-2 companies to provide a specific piece of software, compared to how many for a PC?

*done in Apu voice*

Thank you and please come again...

lol,
its already funny what he's saying bout alienware but that comparison with honda lol

I have never seen a BMW winning a Import Race--and the only people driving BMW in Austria are Turkish-Man and Old Non-Potent-Guys...
Maybe its another way round in US or England but in Austria its gay to drive BMW.
A real deal would be a Ford Mustang or Mitsubishi Evo VIII or Chevrolet these are great cars but not bmw..

This is apples and oranges, really. Many people who use macs do so for a couple of reasons:

1) the supposed 'user friendly' interface. As an ergonomist, I hate that phrase, but most of my colleagues use macs due to their highly intuitive interface. Having started with a PC, I cannot agree. How is sliding a disk icon to a trash icon supposed to intuitively tell me that that means 'eject'? Anyway, macs are pretty fast, and are wonderful for graphic artists.

2) the supposed fact that 'it never crashes.' Well, I've seen many macs crash, and many pcs crash as well. I will admit that the mac OS appears more stable, and of course is not anywhere near as 'hackable' as a PC, so that's a plus.

But the key for me, and for all of us I'd imagine, is that PCs have games. Sure, macs have games too, but one typically must wait a year or more after a PC game's release before it is available on a mac. And that's just too damn long.

The only reason Macs never seem to crash is because all the software written for them is written for an exact set of hardware and since Apple knows what they put into their machines and wont let you use any third party parts this lets them aticipate alot of problems that may occur. This I feel is a giant trade off in the fact that now you have a very stable computer but if you need to upgrade or need aditional features or parts you pretty much have to chuck it and buy a new one. Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that.

I agree. I think that alienating(no pun intended) 90% of the computer market by using proprietary software/hardware is dumb.

I also think that if apple made powerbooks that ran windows natively they would rule the market. They would make money hand over fist. I would buy one, anyone agree?

And before anyone jumps on me....I know macs can run windows but not without a molasses slow emulation program like virtual pc.

The BMW comparison is perfect - you can buy the exact same power and handling in a Nissan for $15,000 less, but people will pay for a badge. I drove both before buying the Nissan, but don't ever tell a BMW owner that your Maxima is faster.

Apple's overcharging and lack of compatibility has relegated them to a very niche market of people who want to be part of an elite (perceived) group. How do you criticize AW for a painted notebook and at the same time spout how pretty the Apple is? That's just classic Apple Fanboy pot/kettle action.

Apple's used to be the way to go for multimedia, but PCs have caught up, and other than a good OS and a pretty package, there just isn't enough reason to go that way.

Throgh my experience, I've actually found graphic design to be far more enjoyable on my PC. I've used G5s and stuff, they don't work bad, but I think a decked out PC is far better. I've even seen speed tests on the net that show its faster if you have a fully loaded pc.

When did photoshop become a game?

Seriously, how many programs can you use on a Mac? I can choose tons of network analyzers for my PC, but only 1-2 for my Mac.
