It strange most people think that. But really the mac is just a differnt OS. You can word process ect on a mac.Originally Posted by JeremyClarkson
I myself got mine for sound editing as the programs for sound on the mac are far better. Yes you can get windows versions of the ones i use but in my opinion there nothing as good.

I don't have a problem that you are expressing your opinion, I am just stating why we can indeed talk about how much we love out Macs in the Apple & Macintosh forum. Originally Posted by FlyingJesus

I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.

My MacBook must be 14 months old now, and I'm still as happy as ever!

(L) my macbook.
i've had it for almost a year now, i remember at first i didn't like it and would bad mouth off mac to everyone lol. i think that's just because i was so used to windows before hand, so i didn't like having to change some of my applications and getting use to the interface. but yeah now i wouldn't go back to windows, i'm totally switched.i got you babe

Not taking a stab or anything to cause trouble but...
20" iMac @ £782+:
2.4GHz Core2Duo
1GB RAM
250GB HDD
DL DVD SuperDrive
ATI HD2400XT
PC w/Screen and OS X
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150186 - 2.66GHz C2D - £90.41
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120446 - DDR2-800MHz 1GB RAM - £10.75
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131214 - 250GB HDD - £33.25
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151827 - DVD DL Burner - £17.30
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/154677 - ATI 2400XT - £49.67
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139793 - Case + PSU - £112.54
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151422 - 20" WIDESCREEN - £100.80
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142854 - ASUS P5K Premium MoBo. - £115.25
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB576Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTU0MDEzMA - OSX Leopard - £83
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB615Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTU1NTMxNQ - iLife 08 - £54
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120816 - Keyboard - £3.42
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133129 - Mouse - £7.89
£678.28 and that took under 5 minutes. If I looked and shopped around I could build one A LOT cheaper. Notice how actually the screen is widescreen compared to the Mac. The RAM is faster than the standard Apple RAM, the motherboard is a lot better feature-wise and the CPU is slightly faster.
All decent products (+/- the Mouse and Keyboard), will work perfectly with OS X as a Hackintosh with no extra hacking. Anyone that buys a Mac is wasting AT LEAST £100.
And actually, I have seen people build Hackintoshes over at InsanelyMac for just under £300 without a Mouse/Keyboard/Screen.
