Windows or Mac?

I'm currently pondering the same decision...My friend thinks I should get a sleek and sexy Apple G4, but I just ain't sure...

If you want to play games, get a PC. If you want a computer that doesn't crash, get a Mac.

Personally I wouldn't mind getting a Mac, but I do lots of Photoshop work and it runs much better on a Mac system than Windows.

As usual, I find that we agree, my boyf has an AppleMac and when I first used it I couldn't get to grips with it at all, I was saying how shit it was and that he had to get a PC if only for my sanity. But I've gotten used to it; he had it basically for his Graphic design because, as Lana said, it runs much better and also looks better.

If you're getting a laptop just for college I'd say get a PC, it's geared towards offices and that sort of work environment, and the net works just as well on either depending on your connection. Mac's are generally for most types of multimedia such as music and graphics so they'd be better for more specific aspects. AND Windows is compatible with most programs 😊

Photoshop.

LOOKS...the exact same.

RUNS...the exact same.

Difference? No right click button.

Windows for the win!

I prefer MacDonalds...muhahahahahahah anyway back on topic

A mac is pointless except for movie editing.

^well, that's just it....I WILL be doing lots of editing....seeing as I will be studying film and television, and graphic design at college😛
So yeah, lots of visual arts...but then again, the college has lots of Pcs to use there, for editing or whatever, but I still would like one of my own, a laptop for off-campus work and such...

I just am really hating windows at the moment because It's given me sooo much trouble, crashing all the time and stuff, and I've heard good things about macs...

in that case get yourself the most powerful mac money can buy...cuz windows suck

it crashes too often...god forbid should you get a 'memory error'...

i've a pc for most things...but use a mac for photoshop and mediastudio

I have Photoshop CS on my PC at home and I took a Digital Media Arts class for Photoshop CS using a Mac.

I honestly cannot understand one reason why people would think a Mac is better for Photoshop than a PC.

If your computer keeps crashing.....learn to take better care of it. The only time I've had problems with my PC is when my brother used to go on porn downloading streaks using KaZaa. Aside from that, my comp would ruin every Mac short of a G5.

Laptops are different. I'd prefer to never buy one of those.

I know....errors all the time....and what is it with 'safe mode'...I don't need to start in safe mode!!! just give me regular mode...

Link^I've never used 'Photoshop' but many of my other photo editing, and video editing software have not run as well as I would like them too...
And seeing as I'm going to have to depend on this PC alot in college, I need something that is RELIABLE, for the purposes I need it for: Video and graphics...

Well If you have to deal with philogenies you will have to use a Mac

If you'll mostly be using it for video and photo editing, then a Mac is definitely the way to go. Much more stable OS and is less likely to crash. I always have Photoshop and Illustrator crashing on me on my Windows comp.

Damnit, I want a Mac.

I own a laptop, and I find it way better and more compatible than a PC - everyones different i guess.

I'd really like a laptop, if just for the portability. Sucks when I'm at school, with hours between classes, and all the comps at the cafe are taken...if I had a laptop, I could just plug it in and not have to wait for an available computer.

get yourself a mac...G4 with dual processors with at least half a gig to a gig of ram and a fast vid card a large HD along with a portable HD for your B/U's....and never...ever use it for the internet...keep it clean and pristine...

I had an iBook for 4 years, I missed it 🙁
I never had problems with Spyware and viruses, just the ocassional bombs in the middle of my typing.

I never really bought into the whole MAC vs PC thing. Both have there pros and cons (and what about UNIX eh?). When I started University and needed a new computer system I went PC as it had a versatility that suited what I was doing, a more developed "market" with easier access, and well, games.

It has served perfectly, and to be honest I have never had a problem with crashes at all, other then a year ago when it got a virus. Other then that it runs perfectly. Same with my Laptop.

mac is f*cking weird and most ppl dont have em around here..the cool thing mac made was ipod..

PCs = crash more, more prone to viruses, slower but less expensive

Macs = more stable, virtually virus free, faster, looks better but more expensive
