I don't understand this nonsense about Mac vs Windows. You know, you can install Windows on a Mac, right?
I've heard a lot of other ridiculous arguments too.
I'm required to get a MacBook for school, so I'm planning to keep the OSX partition as a schoolwork partition, and I'll use Boot Camp for personal stuff (gaming). Apple actually charges $100 to put an almost-1080p screen into the 15" MacBook Pro, and it charges $50 on top of that to remove the glass plating on top of the screen. And I don't see how people are saying Macs aren't overpriced, since you can get an Alienware laptop with a much better GPU for at least $300 cheaper than a MacBook with the same CPU. And with Nvidia Optimus, the Alienware laptops get equivalent battery life compared to the MacBooks.
Also, to the people complaining about Mac's proprietary file system, keep in mind that OSX has support for FAT32 and NTFS. And not only that, but the included Boot Camp driver disc allows Windows to access the OSX partition.

And it goes on and on.QUOTE said:"I use Mac because anti-virus scanners use system resources, and I don't want that.""Hackintosh is laggy. Windows PCs can't handle OSX. And it's illegal."QUOTE said:"Alienware PCs are overpriced. Macs aren't. Alienware also has only 30min of battery life."QUOTEQUOTE said:"My Windows PC broke, but my Mac is still working. That means Windows sucks."
