Why buy a Mac?

don't get me wrong, i think the iphone is amazing but i've had bad experiences with at&t and it's more of a luxury item at this point, i'd rather save for a nice digital slr...

Why buy a Mac?

1. It's NOT a PC
2. They look cool
3. They just work - out of the box
4. You can afford the best
5. It's not a game machine
6. You have good sense
7. No viri, malware or other internet creepy crawlies
8. You can run any operating system
9. You're not afraid to think different
10. Just to pi$$ off the Windoz folks.

:-)

Hey thanks for the reply...its true that Mac are cheaper in the long run...i think the return price is also good..

I dont agree with that..Mac is better than Windows Vista..well when my friend bought his lap top the inbuilt OS was vista and he tells that the performance of the mac is better than anything..well i didn't tell about mac to compare...

Yes Stephen you are right that it mainly depends upon the hardware that we are using...i had a bitter experience by that..

shaunx · #57 01-20-2008, 11:21 PM

In our office we use mac on majority of the machines and what i can see is that hangs and downloading problem is much much lesser for mac than any other...

I've been trying to stay away from this topic since my first reply, 'cause I knew it'll get ugly real soon. Come on now...Windoz? Why is there a need to insult the PC (or PCeee to you) users? Why are there so many one-sided comments coming from users using strictly Mac? I don't even want to begin commenting on the rest of your list. Did you come up with it all by yourself?

I agree, no reason to bash the PC. There are many advantages, the biggest of which is the competitive aspect of the PC World and the resulting lower costs.

The Mac World is fun and they are striving to do something just a little different and they have a niche. When the Iphone came out, I thought it was great, but when they hooked up exclusively with A T & T??? Come on. Then my wife bought me one for Christmas. I could have returned it, but I did activate it. Even though, it had been paid for, A T & T still demanded a 2 year contract and I got slammed with a $300 early termination fee by Verizon!

The Iphone is pretty neat, but when I went to plug my Bose headphones into it, I was really Pi$$ed off to find that the headphone plug is Apple restricted. Come on!!!! That really pushed me over the edge. In the long run, this attitude will be the death of Apple unless they change it!
