I wouldn't say like beat them,as most game developers just do it for windows anyway. But, maybe more games. I don't know. Im not a big gamer like some of you on here so either way it doesn't really matter to me. :)

I thought these rediculously stupid campaigns by Apple/Apple fans stopped years ago when they were labelled as stupid by many people, for believing that all other PCs have alot of cables. Heck, cables are not a problem with computers, unless you plan on having a PC in the middle of the floor. And I am sure if you upgraded a PC to have a wireless card, wireless keyboard and mouse, wireless speakers, built-in webcam you'll get more than a Mac for cheaper, if they're basing it on neatness.

1 - HP have PCs very similar to Macs.
2 - Most school use PCs that are a screen and a PC in one.
3 - Cables aren't exactly a valid grounds to base what you do or do not buy.

I swear these sorts of issues died down years ago :S

Apparently not, Apple are still making the awful Mac and PC Ads.

Im only getting a MacMini cus I love OS X lol

That's why Apple computers are not primarily gaming machines, I doubt they ever will be.

Ye i agree there macs will never beat pc's for gameing mainly as well because most mac users dont buy a mac to game. The not being able to upgrade hardwear quickly enough is not true though. On the old powermac g4's you just lift a handle and your into it.

Eugh, I hate this Mac vs PC squabble.

I'm not running it now because it's not finished yet, but I'm busy building a PC with 8GB Corsair RAM, nVidia GTX+ gaming card, Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, and 3750GB HDD. for £1,300.

I couldn't get something anywhere near that price for a Mac.

Also, with my old desktop, I literally picked it up out of the box, placed it in my room, turned it on, waited a few mins to configure it with username and passwords and it worked. It's not like it takes ages to do it, as the Get a Mac adverts imply.

But I'm not having a bash at apple... as infact I'm a huge fan of OS X. I think it's absolutely brilliant, and Apple could earn a lot more money by allowing it to be sold and to be run on ordinary PC's.

So yeah, PC hardware is better, Mac software is better imo.

That means buying the most expensive Mac there is, which is £1200+ and then you can't go and buy an ordinary Graphics card, you have to get a Mac flashed one.

Thats the whole point of OS X, it is only for Apple hardware, and so thats where the great support etc... comes from,
