So far I've never seen anything designwise that apple isn't superior in. I don't need any special hardware, since I don't play any games or such. I want a stable computer and os and I want the services that the mac solutions provide. I'm talking about the whole concept, from the magnetic power chord to the userfriendlyness of my time capsule. If you are a gamer then you want a PC but otherwise mac is preferable.
the only hassle I've had is with sopcast, everything else is the complete opposite. installing is rather the opposite. installing a program takes 1-2 seconds while installing a windows based program takes at least a couple of minutes.
mac has its limitations of course though if you want customizations etc but I don't care for it. it is a lot of money so when it comes down to it depends on what usage you have of it. If I sat behind my computer an hour a day I do not think I would spend much money on it. but since I sit behind my mac all day and night the money is well spent
Strange response
Every well build pc has simular balance.
for design, pc wise the options are endless
laptops ? just consider the high end dell designs, or so many others. from chiq to extravagant
programs, at my pc atleast, are installed in seconds, games, about the same
stability, plenty of options here, and gaming pc's are as stable as it gets, for the same price as a much slower mac
the only real thing a macuser has, is a diffrent OS.
I know a few mac owners that just prefer the OS, i prefer windows 7.
