So in the process of changing rooms in my barracks my HP laptop Vista running piece of shit has finally croaked. I opened it up to connect it to my network, and the screen is all discoloured and i can see a crack on the inside.

I instantly run over to my iMac and turn on "damn it feels good to be a gangster" and beat the ever loving shit out of the screen of this fucking thing like its a fax machine. I've wanted for so long for this thing to break, and it finally has, and now I've shown it my wrath.

you could probably sell it online, I think people are willing to buy broken laptops for parts. And a Mac desktop is the biggest waste of money. There is absolutely no advantage of having a mac desktop over a much cheaper, more powerful PC. If you're going to get a Mac, get a Macbook, cause that choice actually makes a little more sense

I was waiting for someone to focus on my mac as the main part of the topic. Some people just don't understand that its not always about Mac vs PC, but about Mac OS X vs Windows. I hate Windows, and I love Mac OS X. My Mac has a lot more power than a lot of my friends pcs, and my own back home as well. Yes it was a little bit more expensive, but for OS X it was well worth it. My opinion is I love Mac, and sorry, but I didn't ask for yours on the subject of Macs or PCs.

you know you probably still could've used it if you found some junk monitor for like $50. you know, like, instead of trashing the whole thing but whatever floats your boat i guess.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

if you hate windows then learn to use linux, its always good to know how to use linux and I can't say the same about mac.

Imagine hearing
"Hey I can use Linux"
over
"Hey I can use Mac OS"

Why wouldn't you say the same thing about mac. Its still unix based, which is a lot of the benefits that you gain from using linux. You are still learning another OS instead of just using windows, which makes you more versatile. And with the path they are going with making things more user friendly so that you don't have to use terminal for everything in linux, they are steadily working there way towards... a mac?

Anyways it's more accurate to hear "I use linux" then the next question is "which one" it's really sad if the linux user doesn't know his own linux.
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

Lesson to be learned: Posting anything related to Macs on a gaming forum is a bad idea :<

lol at this Mac vs PC debate. To each their own, jeez. And for Mac bashers: I bet you never even used a Mac lol.

Glad for your broken laptop! Now you can finally get a MacBook/Pro/Air :D
