Yeah I know it'd been done before, but now there are a few more Mac users on these forums and a few more potential Mac users, I thought I'd re-start it and get your opinions.

So, are Macs better than PC's? Or vice-versa?

Discuss, argue, shout and scream.

Yup, I agree. Macs are far better for work purposes but if it's games you want then you're better off with a PC.

I've got both as well so I'm not complaining either :-D

So logically, this should push the price in to the thousands, as standard...

I don't care what my machine looks like, it's under my desk, I can't see it, but I know that I can get a well specified PC for under £1000 with a GeForce3. I do this by choosing the best components for me out of the thousands available and then assembling it. With Macs...well, it comes in pink/green etc, and you can add a bit more RAM as you buy it, bigger monitor, but it does seem to be very much that you have what apple offer, not nescessarily what you want..

Fact: Macs are better than PCs as the PC architecture is 20 years old and the Mac's, well, isn't.

Fact: I want one.

Fact: I can't afford one.

This is a great topic, because it parallels the console debate.

Think about it. The Mac is a far better designed piece of hardware than a PC. However, it's the games... I mean software... that counts. And the PC wins on that front. Like a PS2 and DC

ermmm.. well considering you can buy a software program to allow your Mac to run anything Windows I really don't see your point!

ssshhhh..

And also, Macs will ship (as standard) with the GeForce3 card in two months!

Xbox exclusive??? LIERS!

Hey, I like both. But whatabout the Amiga? It's still a home computer worth knowing about! (Although barely).
