Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

velocity boy You have been told wrong.

And it depends on the PC as to how they look. I think you'd quite enjoy using my Quad CPU 16GB RAM 64Bit beast that has 3TB of disk space, Photoshop flies on it. Sure it's not a laptop, it's a workstation (not a tower, there's a difference). But it's still a PC and it can dual boot into OSX (32bit only, natch) and Ubuntu. I'm not really sure what more you could want... hmm, looks? Well it has a perforated Lian-Li aluminium case that is damned sexy as well as a 20" flat widescreen monitor and a 40" HD telly attached.

What you are comparing is your idea of a Dell or Hewlett Packard laptop with an Apple laptop.

A 'PC' is any bit of hardware put together following the IBM PC specifications, which generally means ATX spec, mini-ATX or similar. And as it could come from any manufacturer or be custom built, your comparison is so massively over generalised as to be pretty much null and void. There was a day and age in which most standard PC casing was beige or gray, but of the 5 computers I own 4 of them are neither gray or beige... I'm fairly certain the 5th isn't either but I've never actually seen it (it's in a server room in California). But of course if you do pick a specific Dell laptop to compare against I'll tell you you're comparing Apples to Oranges.

This is why I fail to understand Apple fandom, the arguments are always so flawed, vague and always impassioned and personal. The only reasonable response is to pat them on the head and say, "That's very nice dear, now run along.".

That's very nice dear, now run along.

I don't actually mind Macs. I just find the fandom illogical and annoying. Actually, that puts me of Apple Macs a hell of a lot.
