  • Macs are much less hassle! I've used mas all my life at work and home and they cause so much less hassle then PC's! For me comparing a PC to a mac is like comparing a fiesta to an aston martin - nuff said! (that's me being down with the kids by the way! :) )

    I have just gone back to Windows full time, having owned a Macbook and an iMac in the last few years. I do think they are overpriced nowadays.

    I have had a number of PCs over the years, but for the last 5 years I have had a Mac desktop, and its been trouble free and its a really good system. Admittedly they cost a lot more, but in my opinion well worth it, and when the sad day comes and I will need to replace it, there is only 1 choice for me another Mac so my advice go for it you wont regret it.

    I'd stick with a PC if I was you. You can get pretty cases and you have a choice of operating system. IMO android beats iOS hands down on phones and tablets. Cost is also a factor you get more PC for the price of a mac. Example with the ipad you're getting ripped off!!!!: http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/operatingsystems/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=224202343 and that was in April it'll be cheaper now to produce!

    Basically you are just paying for the logo.

    I've also never had a virus on my PC and my PC's are more secure than macs.
  • Buy a PC, print the [ below ] logo out on sticky back plastic, clag it on the PC case and save shedloads, oh ! .. .. .. and get a better puter

    If you are not sure buy a mac book for about £400 / £500 see how you get on with it if you like them buy a new one or if you decide to stay with a pc you can sell it again the most you will loose is about £75 because the way they hold there price.
