Which Mac

[VKCOMMO]

Hey


I was offered a mac notebook for my birthday coming up soon, ive narrowed it down to the macbook pro and macbook air, both of those would be the top package that apple offers, im leaning towards the pro for the power-money ratio.

what do you think?

Thanks

id rather a big mac than either of them

[GetToDaChopa]

Well which one do you want?! Get that one!

But if i had to choose i'd go for the pro.

I was going to say "a big one" and it was going to be the funniest thing EVER!!!!!!!

but nooooo parkwaydrv had to wreck EVERYTHING!

Does it have to be a mac? I'm not a big fan... Dont get me wrong, Mac's are great.... but compatability wise... not so great, if you need to transfer work etc

[Verynice]

no mac....

Macs are awesome. My Mac is now 7 years old and going strong. Don't have to waste money on anti-virus, spyware etc etc. It just works every time!

get a pro dude. airs are a good novelty, but in reality have no practical use of being so thin and are pretty slow. if you get a pro it will replace any pc you already have with a bonus of being portable. you will never have the need for something that's 'faster' because your air is too slow . plus the pros are pretty thin anyway.

why anyone would buy a mac is beyond me... why anyone would buy a mac with no cd rom is just plain f..ktarded.

All my family have Macs now except me and they are all awesome, anyone that doesn't think so is a twit, honestly . PC's were shit in 1984 and they are still shit now. Pity the current Mac's are a intel based PC same as anything else lol but at least they are a high quality one

More POWAH is clearly better.

anyone that doesn't think so is a twit,

my girlfriend has a mac book pro and is a huge mac head. i use it whenever i am watching tv and CBF going to my desktop to surf something... anyays that friggin OS is retarded, the stupid little bouncy things, the dissappearing windows when you accidentally move the mouse too fast its just friggin frustrating.



pfft, apple 't' and WHY IS THERE NO DELETE KEY!!!!!

[GetToDaChopa]

lol what, there is a delete key.

[ari666]

not on a pro, only backspace, you have to press function and backspace for delete.

and the other thing is, try and get fullscreen out of something other than a slide show. you can only drag the sides of the window you are viewing to make it larger but you can never make it go fullscreen. it really sucks if you are trying to view a large page.

my sistr has the new-fnagle-dang apple big something desktop which i have to admit has an AMAZING screen res (and a hell cool mouse). but i said to her, "ok sis... make that image go full screen" she couldnt do it, whats the point of having such an awesome resolution if you just gonna get distracted by your desktop image and stupid little windows in the background?

I want a mac cause all the PC's ive used are shit, this one im on now is shit, my dads one is shit and my mums work one is great.... i kid, its shit as well...

I really am thinking about the pro, the air is thin and all but it is slow as mentioned...

@mikescalais, you can get word and all for mac that is compatible with PC..

[ari666]

ok, thats understandable, but please dont get the airbook. you will be amazed at how useless it is with no cd rom.

[VKCOMMO]

i know how useless itll be, i have a HP 2133 now and i had to but a USB DVD drive.. If i get the pro ill have to get extended warranty, there like dell, only the company can fix them...

[ari666]

for your consideration:

[fuzzy2308]

me too........

[VKCOMMO]

me too........

i would but i want something portable...


@ari, thats why im getting extended warranty, so when a part breaks just take it to apple and they'll give me a new one, they have done that before with my iPhone.

got nothing to do with being a mac though, you can run windows on a mac if you want (although i heard bootcamp is sometimes a little screwy).

whats more portable than a big mac?

I've got a Macbook, Have you considered a Macbook? All my friends/girlfriend have macbook, Have for years.
I've had mine for about 4 years now, Updated it to leopard awhile ago it loves it.
The only good thing about PC is if you play games.
Don't listen to the haters, if you have a mac set up good (With all the short cuts etc) after using it for a week you'll go on a pc and be like freakin hell, Macs are simply.

Also a mac can run windows just as good as mac if you need it via paralells (Never played with boot camp)
Once you go Mac you more then likely not to go back.
