Mac or PC - Which do you use?
- Thread starter ThaAnsa3
- Start date
I'm running with the PC right now because I have to work with programs (web design) that are best with the PC. I have had Ubuntu for a good minute but haven't used it that much because I've been so busy with work. There are some good web design programs for Ubuntu, but the copy/paste feature doesn't work as well as Windows programs.
For those that have tried out the Mac OS X on a PC, how is the performance on it (ignoring the missing drivers)?
For those that have tried out the Mac OS X on a PC, how is the performance on it (ignoring the missing drivers)?
someone posted recently a how to and review of installing mac os x on pc.
performance is the question.
Then it would appear my decision is simple . . . THINKPAD. Let me ask you this, what kind of strain does having both programs put on the laptop's RAM and/or battery life? TP2001 poses the same question. Can anyone answer that? Hey Jagi, where can I find that "how to thread?" I tried using the search function but came up empty.
Can't really say how well it does performance wise, because only did it just to see if it could work. It was posted all over the place about doing it, so I tried it. I didn't run any benchmarks software on it. You have to use VMware for the drivers for hardware that Macs don't usually run. I didn't keep it, cause I don't really use OSX for anything. If I was a Photoshop or music maker, I would get more use out of it. I'm use to Windows, can't say I had any of the problems that a lot of people said they had. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
PEACE!!!!!
Ensabahnur, thank you very much. You really did a great job with finding and posting the intructions. It would appear that the Mac has a slight advantage because you can actually load Windows onto a partition. It would not need its own hard drive in order to run on OSX.
Not really, thats only one way of putting OSX on a PC. There are several ways hackers will put it on a PC. OSX was hacked during the planning stages before it was released. Before Intel chips where released in Macs, they still had to use plenty of beta testers and software programmers from in the company and out of the company(which is how the hackers got their hands on the TPM).
It was a big article on it a year or two ago about it in WIRED magazine.
PEACE!!!!!
PC all the way.I hate Macs and here is why.
1. Macs windows is hard to espand. Damn shit does not even take up the entire monitor
2. The MAC mouse feels like a brick
3. Can't understand or better yet can't even upgrade a MAC by yourself.
4. To get a MAC upgraded it costs an arm and a leg with another person's arm and a leg to get it upgraded.
5. Programs take forever and I mean forever to come on a MAC. By the time an IBM PC program comes out it will be at least 6 months to a year to get the same program for a MAC.
6. Want to find parts for a MAC? Shit, better rob a bank or your best friend becaue you will be paying big money.
7. Gettin MAC parts are hard as hell because the executives at MAC don't want them widely distributed so they can cheat your ass over and over and over again.
8. Can't build your own MAC.
9. MACS focus too much on the artistic bullshit. I want praticality, not art.
10. MAC keyboards are flat and hard to use.
Basically MACS SUCK
I use PCs and Mac Pros at work, but at home I'm strictly a PC man. As I said in another thread, the Mac Pro is a cold motherfucker, but, loaded, that bitch cost as much as a low-end car. I like to replace my computers every two years, one year the laptop, the next year the desktop. If I went the Mac route, I'd have to hold onto them for much longer to justify the price.
I'm about to buy a multiple Amd Phenom quad-core PC as I write this. It will cost about half of what a similarly equipped Mac Pro would cost. Now, if someone else is footing the bill, then I'd go with the Mac... but I'd still be running XP and 64bit Ubuntu Gutsy on it.

Good luck, hope you get good results on both systems. I'm still waiting on the sideline with AMD to take full advantage of their SPIDER PLATFORM, before I build a new system. I think I've decided on most of the parts I will go with. Also, think about doing a mod case as well(1st time).EnSabahNur good looks on the tutorial to install Mac OS X on the PC. I will try it out over the next couple of days and give my take on it...
I will look into installing windws on a Mac also
PEACE!!!!!
Here is another way to install OSX on your PC, even gives a hardware list to make an $800 Mac system.EnSabahNur good looks on the tutorial to install Mac OS X on the PC. I will try it out over the next couple of days and give my take on it...

You a smart man. Get a good ASUS brand motherboard with at least 8GB RAM capacity to give that good AMD Phenom Quad Processor some respect.
Good choices.
Hey also get a decent case. I got a silver Kingwin case that has blue lights. Man that case lights up so brightly it looks like divine relevalation at night.

Also, don't really buy into the topic of how much RAM either OS can use. Windows can use more RAM if need be, just have to unlock it in 32bit OSes.
PEACE!!!!!
If you plan on using After Effects & PS, here is a quick tutorial for XP Pro...http://generalspecialist.com/tutorials/ae7_ram.html

Here is another XP PRO tip...http://www.gehrytechnologies.com/catia/catia/catia_windows_large_memory.htm

I use Both.
For what I do with it a MAC + Vmware Fusion (XP SP3 image) =
I only bought a MAC for the OS. If the OS was legally available for PC's, then I would not have bought a MAC.
I think OS X at this moment is better in terms of ease of use compared to XP/Vista.
I have less to explain to Moms.

I use both. We have PC's at work, but I have a Mac. If I were to suggest one or the other, especially to the creative people out there, there is only one choice....
...All day, everyday!!!
If you are graphic designer or need a computer for a specific purspose then a mac is needed. For a casual user pc all the way. I have had xp and even the dreaded ME. I had no real problems with either of those OS. Seems to me everything you want as far as programs and drivers are more readily available. Mac users who cry about viruses need to stop kidding themselves. I am sure if mac mattered on any real stage in the computing market. There will be a whole industry whose sole purpose was to find flaws in the mac os pop up and macs will have viruses written for it as well. Or if the ass clowns who think writing viruses and and hacking people were not using macs their damn selves......................
I hate Macs and here is why.
1. Macs windows is hard to espand. Damn shit does not even take up the entire monitor
Hmmm, sounds like somebody never used a Mac, start here jackass http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/tour/
Hmm, funny Apple hating CNET said this about the mighty mouse, "Attractive design; scroll ball is comfortable and easy to use; works with Windows and Mac systems; integration with Tiger is flawless."
Wrong again, every mac manual has self service instructions, damn nigga, like the commericals said,
yeah i guess memory from crucial/kingston, etc and those pesky sata HDD's are a bitch to replace aint they, wait a minute, dont Mac's use intel chips? and PC components now? Hmm again Jackass,
An IBM PC? when the last time IBM made a pc, they sold them offf some time ago, friend, as far as Dev cycles go, you are correct, when some PC apps come to Mac, they get better, ask Microsoft, the worlds largest non Apple Developer. Many Mac users never have an issue, becuase there are more than suitable replacements on the Mac side for any applications on Windows. But better yet, you can run those bitches on your mac, faster than on a PC, remember? If not, we'll provide a refresher.
Again, same parts, non issue.
Again, an idiots folly, wrote the same shit 3 times to make an argument.
Funny, cant build your own bus either can you? There's a reason why macs just work, because they are built to last and have proven themselves over the long haul. I challenge you, go to ebay and price a mac from 2000 and compare a comparable PC from 2000, and when you see the price difference you'll understand, they hold their value better over more time.
Ever heard of Walt Mossberg? Read the WSJ or Wikipedia him and you'll walk slowly from the cloud of ignorance you've obviously walked into. Back in 10/2005, he wrote,
"APPLE'S MACINTOSH COMPUTERS claim only a tiny share of the overall PC market, but they are getting more consideration from Windows users thinking of switching than at any time in many years. The daunting security problems that have plagued Windows have also prompted many of its users to take a serious look at the Mac. ...As a result, Mac sales, while still relatively small, have been growing much faster than overall personal computer sales. Are you among the PC majority considering a switch to the Mac? Then you probably have some important questions.
Q: How do Macs compare in quality with Windows PCs?
I believe that, at the moment, Apple makes the best computers, and the best operating system, for mainstream consumers doing typical tasks — email, web surfing, office-productivity functions such as word processing and presentations, photo organizing and editing, playing and collecting music, and editing home video.
Of all the major computer makers, Apple is the most focused on consumers and small businesses. Most make the bulk of their money, and take most of their cues, from the information-technology departments of large corporations.
Apple's iMac G5 consumer desktop is, in my opinion, the single best home computer on the market. Its PowerBook laptops are among the top portables."
Arstechnica, highly regarded website, advises:
"The most subjective aspect of a keyboard review—and one that is largely worthless unless the reader is a twin or clone of the author—is how it feels. Having disclaimed that, the Apple Wireless Keyboard feels good. I find the keys to be responsive, but then as my wife says—occasionally screams—I have a very light touch. However, the Apple Wireless Keyboard is probably not for someone with sausage fingers and/or poor motor skills. Regarding ergonomics, the keyboard is flat, not curved, not adjustable, the keys flat, not beveled, short strokes the norm, tactile response lacking compared to buckling springs and mechanical switches. Some will say this does not a real keyboard make, but does it matter?
If the layout change and the removal of the keypad doesn’t make it obvious, laptops are the future. By moving toward design unity, Apple is once again getting ahead of the curve. As with every transition, a small minority will hate the change, but you really should at least try hating it in person first. You need to try the Apple Wireless Keyboard, or USB version, at a local Apple Store—where you will likely be disgusted by how filthy the keys are—but at least you will know."
Frank Wilson, you good sir are an ignorant man.
As of 08/2007, MOSSBERG has advised:
"If you install Boot Camp on a well-equipped Mac model, it can become a blazing fast Vista computer. A few days ago I bought a top-of-the-line model of Apple’s new iMac line, and installed Boot Camp and Vista. I then tested the machine using Vista’s built-in Windows Experience Index, a rating system that goes from 1 to 5.9, with scores above 3.0 generally required for full, quick performance. My iMac scored a 5.0, the best score of any consumer Vista machine I have tested. Obviously, a tricked-out high end Dell or HP box might do as well or better, and a lesser Mac might do worse. But the score was very impressive for a computer that wasn’t designed with Vista in mind."
and of course, the good folks over at PC World, stick a dick on your nosebridge when they say:
"The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year (through 10/25/07) is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows."
So lets see, runs both mac OS and Windows via bootcamp and VMWare/Parrallels, to address your ignant comments about upgradability, go visit apple.com/support, pick a model and watch videos on how to upgrade, memory, HDD, PCI, etc. But see, youre missing the point, if buy what you'll need tomorrow today then you wont need upgrading every two years, let alone be forced to by your OS vendors (uh Vista, anyone? anyone? Uh Bueller? Bueller? Is this thing on?). I have a PowerMac G4 500 from back in 2000 thats still kickin like Bruce Lee and runs the latest software still, and even back then, support for 4GB of ram.
maybe next time, we'll research before we start spewing drivel on the net.
Also, if you don't like the plain jane look of the Thinkpad, get it custom painted to your liking.
PEACE!!!!!
PEACE!!!!!
Applescript!No reason to switch from windows (xp)... AT ALL
So please touch on another topic
... and dont let that topic be software or pricing either
That is the reason why desktop media production goes Mac.

This is a lot of information. Thank you for posting it.
there only one problem with what he posted...its extremely biased....just remember this...there is a reason most people/companies use PC's and not MACs...its really just that simple...if you want a cool looking laptop with cool stuff on it but the hardware itself sucks get a mac...if you want a laptop is durable and cool and like configuring it to the way you want it....get a Thinkpad...
Thinkpad is still what I'm leaning toward, especially since I found out that I would be able to run the OXS on it if I want. I have many authentic OSX discs so installing wouldn't be a problem.
By the way, how does Mac's hardware suck? I've always heard good things about the way they're built. Are they wrong?
The desktops are built very ver..the laptop are not durable Ispeak from personal experience with my mac book pro....1st week..lcd burnt out because the damn thing ran too hot.....months later the lcd internally cracked after being in my computer back with a stress ball that got pressed againt the lcd lid ...this would never happen with a dell, thinkpad, hp..hell even a crappy as toshiba laptop(never buy one of those).
Example of Thinkpad quality that you would never find in a MAC laptop:

I want to add that everybody talking about pc and assuming that means using windows as the OS...is fairly ignorant....The overall aspects of PC hardware are far superior than MAC hardware

I work in a very large printery in my country and I am the only pc user amongst 6 G5's and 2 G4's in the art department.
I ain't giving up my PC for shit.
All that talk about MAC is more reliable is shit. The G5's give the same amount of trouble. In fact just the other day we bought a new G5 and we had to send it back twice to the apple store in NY cost an arm and a leg via fed ex, eventually they had to give us a new one.
I don't know about other places in the world but in my country getting mac's fixed in a day is almost impossible especially if you have to order the parts but you could definitely get a pc fixed in a matter of hours.
There are some advantages though. YOu could take a mac out the box plug it in and surf the net, however, if you do that with a pc you're asking for trouble. Viruses and Spyware up the ass for sure.
I saw somebody talk about updates and compatibility earlier on in the post that there is a load of shit. Cause 2 of the artists here updates to Leopard and to this day they can't use Adobe In Design cause it is not compatible with Leopard they have to wait for a patch.
For music and video editing I think MAC's have the edge cause the programs are pretty much tailor made for the MAC platform. But for graphic design I think the playing field is pretty much level. I have tested it by opening big Adobe photoshop and Illustrator files at the same time on pc and mac and it pretty much opens at the same time.
In the print industry you need to know pc well cause when you take your artwork to a RIP (Raster Image Processor) most of them only work on PC more so a PC using Win Server.

Just go Mac !!!
It is far more reliable, and the OS is so much more stable than Windows. Everything works more efficiently and no virus or spyware !
I just switched last month...it's great!!!
This is to ljinsane and all the others who truly believe in the Thinkpad. I found these comments posted on another board and was wondering if you all could weigh in with your opinions. These comments come from multiple people, but one of the most vocal on the subject was endorsing Acer a lot, so I'm skeptical about his or her opinion. I would post the link, but I'm not incredibly sure about BGOL's policy on that sorta thing.

All if this is pure bullshit....1st...never ask a fucking programmer anything in regards to supporting hard ware...if they are a real programmer....they dont know shit...they just code......
2...the rest of the qoutes are from people who are not technically inclined enough fix whatever issues that comes across their desk.....Awkward to preogram!?!? what the fuck are they going to program...you install an os..install the programs you nedd and that it.....in the ten years I have had my think pad...I had one hd failure...one!!! When it came to upgrade the original 2.1gb disk to a 40gb...i just had to update the bios...I gaurantee the people from these quotes would think it was impossible to do.....Thinkpads use to be really expensive and some of the mstill are but as you see from the link I posted up earlier....they are quite affordable...

Here are the specs that I have saved in my shopping cart at the Lenovo website. Any problems with what you see, specifically any potential issues upgrading once the new version of Windows hits the marktet? Also, I decided to go with 2.5 GHZ processor speed because the 2.6 GHZ with 4MB L2Cache was $220 more. I figure I could upgrade my RAM for a lot cheaper myself, so I chose to only go with 1GB. I might swop the optical drive for a Blu-Ray drive (its 50/50 right now).
