Post by: Water ☮ on February 05, 2008, 06:49:38 PM
        I have decided that I am definitely getting a mac, hopefully a notebook, because I already have a PC. but I want to know which one to get.I'm most likely getting the macbookpro but what about the others like the desktop computer or the macbook air?
:O
It's so lite!

GENIUS SHUT UP YOU FAT FU- oh wait, this isn't a hate thread.

Well, you have a couple factors that will help you decide:

-Are you traveling more often than you are at home?
-How often do you travel great distances?
-How much money are you willing to pay?
-What are you looking for in your computer?
-How much do you plan on using your computer?
-Will you be downloading lots of content?


Answer these questions and I'll see what I can find for you.

Do not get the Air. It's an overpriced POS you can't use most anything with, has a PATA drive, and doesn't even have an optical drive.

Macbook Pro is good, but I'd wait for the update Apple supposedly has coming.

So why do you need a laptop now if you not even gonna be mobile?
Use a desktop and wait until college for when a newer model will be out and you might actually need it.

If it's not for another two years, wait. No need to rush. And if you want games, you're looking in the wrong catagory.

If money isn't an issue, then just wait and get the new MBPs when they come out later.

i think a macbook  would be faster than the Air since it has moar memory/ram. that is, if you choose to get more than 60 GB

While it's true macs don't have many games, macs are superior to PCs cause they don't get viruses.  8)

Macs get great games like Marathon and Shadow Warrior!

Yeah, because we're all going to be playing Crysis and actually have a computer to run it.. Very few people play PC games.

QuoteWhile it's true macs don't have many games, macs are superior to PCs cause they don't get viruses

Lies. While it's true there are many less viruses for Mac, any system be it Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, ect can get a virus.
