Paying double? That's not true, Sony Vaio notebooks are generally more expensive than Macbooks, Dell notebooks are generally a bit cheaper. The price difference is greatly exaggerated and silly to use in a debate without providing an example.


High-end vios might be more expensive than low-end macbooks, sure. If you actually read what I wrote, I said for the same hardware.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

Changing the RAM and Harddrive doesn't void your warranty - what else are you going to change on a notebook? That's more than enough for 90% of students' needs.


That's a different debate for a different--why it's better to have a good desktop than a laptop. My post was directed at Macs in general, not just notebooks.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

Moot points.


Ah hahahahaha

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

-Students might be poor at your community college, but most of them aren't too worried about a price difference that corresponds to roughly one night of extensive clubbing.


See, this let's me know that either:
1) You aren't a student, you just pretend to be one to pick up college girls at your nearest club (Fucking creepo), or...
2) Your mommy and daddy pay for poor study habits at Arizona State, or whatever shitty college it is you go to.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

-Pages is superior to Word, but I have the feeling I'm arguing with someone who, unlike me, hasn't written term papers with both. Pages simply gives you cleaner layout. I haven't experienced any compatibility issues, either. Keynote is miles ahead of Powerpoint...it's really easy to make a presentation look professional with those templates, Powerpoint doesn't even come close. I'm not an avid Excel/Numbers user, so I can't comment on those two.


Except that people don't use Pages, or Keynote. They use Office, because that's what everyone else uses. No man is an island, and you can make your presentation look real shiny but it won't do your professor any good if he or she can't open it up when you turn it in.

Come to think of it, I doubt your shitty mac equivalents are better. Otherwise, why would more people (Probably more Mac users, too) be using Office?

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

-Those last two points just show there your argument is heading - nowhere. So you're trying to tell me that my point about most students being better off with a Macbook is wrong because I disregarded the horde of IT-nerds and hardcore gaming-addicts?


Most people who buy computers tend to do actually something with them, not just check facebook and troll Renforums.

Another moot point until you give some examples. I'm eager to know which type of software that most students need can't be run under OS X. You know, browsing,


Macfags can't run Google Chrome, and since Opera started sucking with Opera 10, that's just about the only browser worth running. Don't bother bringing up FailFox. I'd rather not use that RAM-hungry bloated browser, especially if I'm stick with an already-underpowered Apple machine.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

listening to music


Do kids still listen to music on their computer in the age of iPods and Zune players? I wouldn't want to carry around a laptop everywhere in case I want to listen to music.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

watching video


Videos or movies? If you mean videos, you probably mean YouTube and similar sites, in which case refer to the browser thing above. If you mean movies, L2DVDPlayer.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

reading documents, word processing, presentations,


Either you're using a shitty port of MS Office, or you're using some shitty Mac equivalent software that nobody else uses, and thus nobody produces files for.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

Not sure how things work in community college, but you won't be catching too many students around here that carry their mice along with them...it's an inconvenience that no longer necessary with a Macbook.


Maybe they're so in debt from buying their overpriced paperweights you call macbooks that they can't afford a $30 mouse? Inconvenience?

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

The second part is gold, tho. "I have never really used Apple's multi-touch interface, but it must suck because my Windows notebook's touchpad sucked big time!


All touchpads suck. Anything any touchpad can do, a mouse can do better. You might as well be debating why your skateboard is better than my skateboard, while I'm driving by in a car.

Click "get an education discount", type in your community college and watch the price drop to $949. Magic!


For the regular Macbook. You were talking about the macbook pro, which "drops" to $1049, not $999 as you claimed.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

I'm pretty sure the casual gamers can either live with the games ported to OS X


If you call that living.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

or get hold of a copy of windows (which everyone has laying around somewhere).


I'll accept this a concession of "My shitty OS can't run everything I need, so I'm going to get some help from the OS it bashes on TV every 45 minutes or so". g2G.

JohnDoe wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 04:01

Again, if you're talking about the IT-Nerds and hardcore gamers, you might want to check up the definition of most, as in 'most students'.


If you mean the term "hardcore gamers" to mean "Anything who plays something more serious than Bejeweled", then I think you need to check the definition of "most".

R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 09:40

Ok, Dover. I'm lying. All of the problems I had with using an Operating System designed for user accessibility and production were just an unfounded and potentially bias portrayal of my emotions for hating an OS that I had been looking forward to for the couple of years before it's release.


Derp derp.

R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 09:40

Seriously, do read what you say? Or does it just come naturally? "L2computer?" Two things:
1. I don't have to. If I can use the older model without problems, then shouldn't the new UPGRADED model work better and faster and more efficient?


You're right. If I ride a bike, then I can drive a car, drive a tank and fly an airplane, right? They're just upgraded models of the same thing, right? I shouldn't have to learn things!

R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 09:40

2. Why should I? Most people who own computers don't know it's possible to do even the simplest tasks. The features in Vista were designed to give users less of a hard time on their computer. So how is it that it takes more effort and resources to do a simple task on Vista than it does in XP or Windows 7?


If most people are really having so much trouble with simple tasks on Vista, then maybe they should go over to Macs, but not before picking up a few napkins to wipe up the drool all over their desk.

[quote title=R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 09:40]Or, for that matter, why did Microsoft bother to release Windows 7 in the first place? What possible reason could they have to release a new OS version so soon after the release of Vista?

R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 09:40

You are the one who needs to "L2computer."
The first lesson: No two people use a computer the same way. What positive experiences you had may not be the same for me and other people.

You found use out of Vista? Good for you. I didn't. It's not an argument. We are not discussing takes on a proposed issue or matter, we are discussing past experiences with a physical product.


Shouldn't these experiences be relevant, though? It's not the OS's fault if you don't know how to use it. Learn to, instead of wasting time complaining about it. If I didn't have any problems with it, maybe you should stop and consider that maybe the problem is with you?

R315r4z0r wrote on Sat, 07 November 2009 12:01

Also, what exactly is a Mac other than software?

Can't you run a Mac OS on a PC?


Apple, unlike Microsoft, produces hardware, software, drivers, and firmware. They're made to work together and with nothing else. It's possible to get OSX on a real computer, but it really isn't worth the effort.

That's just too hard to quote, so I'm not going to bother. I'll just label them. (These are the ones responding to me)

Quote #1:
What the hell is 'derp derp?'

Quote #2:
Two things are wrong with your example.

The first thing is that you have the chain backwards. It should be the most complex thing makes it easier for the least complex thing. So being able to drive a tank should mean you can drive a car, not the other way around. (Mind you that outside knowledge still applies. Meaning, just because you can drive the car doesn't mean you know the rules of the road.)

The second thing that is wrong is that they are not 'upgraded models of each other.' The only thing that they remotely have in common is the fact that they are under the category of 'vehicles.' Comparing a bike to a plane is like comparing DOS to OSX.

Quote #3:
You're not getting it. First of all, only a fraction of the issues I had with Vista were user faults that I did spend hours trying to learn but to no success. Obviously there is a learning process... that's a given. But there is a line between learning something new and hunting down what you already know exists (for hours.)

What's even more ridiculous is the fact that you're arguing in favor of Vista's progress and I'm in favor of Windows 7's.
How can you say things like "L2computer" and 'that's what an upgrade is' when I have clearly stated my opinion that Windows 7 is the best Windows OS yet? It sort of upsets your entire argument for Vista's greatness.
How is not being able to cope with an upgrade from XP to Vista a fault of my own when I can make a move from XP to Win7 without a single problem to speak of?
How can you say that my incompetence to use Vista is a result of my ignorance in how upgrades work when I, myself, prefer the even newer, upgraded OS that is Windows 7?

dovers being a douche trying to force his opinion on to yours. They both have thier uses and there are many reasons why someone would pay more for a mac then a pc.

less problems with viruses
better end user support
hardware can run windows and mac based os
some people prefer the touchpad,keyboard,screen,battery tech
some people prefer how they look / single block of aluminum

and their are some reasons why people would buy a pc

more affordable - though if u add it support, antivirus this isn't always so. It really depends on your own expertise. However the base unit is more affordable
Gaming
it is the standard

I personally could find reasons to own one over the other or both. However I overally do not like laptops. High failure rates with bad customer support is usually looking for trouble.

The whole mac vs pc fanboy debate is a waste of server storage space. Its comparing apples to oranges

As for the mac commercials yeh they get old, but most of what they say is somewhat true if exaggerated. Do you actually think a 5 year old could upload pictures to a vista pc and email them. As featured in pc commercials. Personally I own a pc, but I can fix any problem I would ever have with one. Someone with little computer experience could very well be better off with a mac.

Of course you can run Mac OS on a regular pc. Even Apple has started to use Intel cpu's and other hardware components used by WINDOWS COMPUTERS, because they couldn't keep up with the rest.

It's funny how people compare a 'PC' to mac or linux, since mac and any linux box IS a PC. What you're really trying to say is "windows vs mac/linux".

Even though the term "PC" means "Personal Computer" and a Mac is a "Personal Computer," Apple labeled their computers as Macs.

In other words, a Mac is Apple's name for a PC. However, since Microsoft has never named a Windows running computer anything, it's just defaulted to PC.

Apple does that with a lot of things. For example, iPods. What the product really is, at it's core, is an MP3 player. But people still go around calling it an iPod.

I think they were kind of clever at the beginning, but they got old and annoying pretty fast.

I remember a particular one that made it look like Macs have more fun, while PCs sit around and do spreadsheets. Is that misleading or what?

dovers being a douche trying to force his opinion on to yours. They both have thier uses and there are many reasons why someone would pay more for a mac then a pc.

less problems with viruses


I stopped reading there. Ok, with windows XP it was *possible* to get a virus, if you really tried. With Windows 7 you really need to be retarded to get a virus. And yes, I do every now and then check for a virus.

A lot of Mac users think they don't crash; I think I've crashed more on a Mac than anything else.
