They are both overpriced for what they bring to the table, and do not adequately serve their basic functions. Ripped jeans do not serve the basic clothing functions of keeping you covered, keeping you warm, and keeping you comfortable. Apple computers have such limited customization and compatibility that it cannot run a lot of popular games and applications. Their stylishness is more of a lack of it. Although there are a few people that wear ripped jeans because they enjoy the look, the majority of people who wear them only wear them because everyone else is wearing them. They have absolutely no sense of style or fashion whatsoever and just like to follow the crowd. Apple computers only come in one style as well. There are a few people out there who likes the Apple style the best, but for most Apple users, there are styles that they would enjoy much more if they bothered to explore different PC cases. They are completely incapable of anything higher level. Ripped jeans cannot be worn to anything formal, they don't make you look professional, heck you can't even wear them to work on casual friday. Apple computers do not let you change most parts, fix individual parts, and you have to buy an entire new computer if you want any sort of upgrade. | ||

Even got a new one, that sucks equally as bad. I'm just so sick of this thing now. I spend more money and time on apple"care" support than anything else, and the case is just not going anywhere. mind going into more detail as to what went wrong? | ||

I mean, if I was a software developer or edit videos, then i just HAVE to have a MBP or Thinkpad because the Core 2 Duos and RAM sticks in those are specially designed for professional use. If I tried to edit videos on my Acer it would probably blow up in my face, and there's no way I can program in any language without a MBP. Thanks for reminding me to get a MBP, ordering one online now -> 24hr shipping! Way to show your ignorance. You don't use it for the hardware in this case, you use it for the software. | ||

Really? I have tried it semi-recently, unless it's improved in the last year then I believe it is as hard as I think. | ||

I wasn't aware that you could do it on AMD machines but it looks like as of September last year it's now possible. Regardless, at this point you're now running OSX to run FCP, which was my point as you said you could run it on Windows. Which brings us back to the point of contention, that the originally quoted poster showed ignorance regarding the reasons developers and video editors might prefer mac computers: software not hardware. | ||

I'm not for or against MACS to each his own, I was under the impression FCS was able to run on windows, and apparently it isn't without some legwork as you have said. | ||
