All I do basically is play gamez n shit 8D

Computers should not be used for artz n research

PC because theres more compatiable software for it then macs. plus mac prices are too high for my taste

You spelled "Queer" wrong.

And I'm too young to be a queer.

Can Windows run together with mac? No.
The opposite? Yes.

So shut up.

touchpad where you can leftclick, rightclick, and scroll just tapping with your fingers and not actually click anything > having to use buttons for click

i wonder when people are going to realize that mac do have rightclick. its always people talking who dont have any idea.

Both platforms have their specific uses. The idea that the Mac side is better for photoshop work or digital video editing is a bit of a lie really, because both platforms perform equally with identical industry standard applications (photoshop, 3d studio max, combustion, etc). They only outperform windows machines when you have the higher end professional packages with dual quad core processors, 16Gb RAM, etc etc.

I tend to lean more towards windows machines, because of the diverse customisability of the hardware. Plus the highly larger and superior selection of software and applications. Saying that, applications are designed brilliantly on the mac, unlike most of windows which must change in the future. Games are one thing, but with Boot Camp/Parallels/VMWare, you can install windows on most mac machines.

I'll be using them way more in university, and nothing beats a dual 30inch cinema display setup with an a3 wacom!

i have seen a lot of macbooks in the uni lately. like every second guy has one, since they are really cheap now compared to other laptops. and i am talking about people who study computer science
