I never said you can't have a good workflow on a PC - but I think it is more productive on the mac.

On the mac it all integrates beautifully - especially along with automator.

But what about the Oreos.... Where the heck are the cookies... You'd figure by now we'd be sick of the computer debate and move on to something with a bit of meaning.... like friggin cookies....

At least post a picture or 2 if your continue to carry on with the silly debate...

I work in a company of 6,000 employees where nearly all of us are forced to use PC's.




Except for our IT staff. They use either PCs loaded with Ubuntu or Macs. It's not PCs that suck, it's Windows!!!

Computer illiterate people are better off with macs because they are generally more idiot proof. For computer saavy people, PCs give you more flexibility in a number of ways.

As are the Macs. A Mach microkernel UNIX system resides at the core of its stability. The bonus is, you get an intuitive GUI to boot ;-)

Not compared to this

http://www.sony.com.au/vaio/catalog/product.jsp?id=VGNAW17GUQ

Can anyone say "100% Adobe RGB display". And it comes with Lightroom, Elements and Premiere elements, multi card reader, raid 0, 640GB HDD.

Now that's photographic computer sweetness.

Wrong, they are at least 5x worse.

Awesome hardware!! Too bad it won't run OS X. All the hardware in the world won't make Windows a great OS!

I don't see why not (apart from legal issues). I'm not a Mac Guy but it has the same processor, chipset, graphics etc as the Macbook Pro.

I've actually picked one of these up and it is truely brilliant with Lightroom.

It comes down to this

Those who use windows prefer windows

those whp use macs prefer macs

those who have used both prefer macs by a long shot.

I have both and use the pc on occassion but the difference is chalk and cheese. This is not a nikon or canon type of difference. The mac is a professional system. windows is a dog of a system that a professional can still use but full of glitches, never ending pop ups and a magnet for viruses. Just a headache by comparison.

Paper specs can look sweet but you actually have to use the thing.

I know those who use windows don't like to hear that but if we are going for the most direct answer then really this is the case.

Ummmm, rubbish.

I'm typing his on my Unibody 15" MBP, and at home I've got a PC. This often comes home with me, and I prefer using the PC.

Gotta love generalisations based on nothing but personal preference.

well said, I completely agree with you

Frustration with vista led me to have a serious look at Mac
but after running thru and talking with friends who are users, I am back
to PC

Cause if you want more control and flexibility to do things your way,
PC is the way to go.
Mac has too many restrictions and will only allow you to do certain things.


But if you are not the control freak and dont know much about computer,
Mac is the greatest thing on earth.
I agree with the Mac fanboys here..........they dont even need "cut and paste"
on the iPHone. Why would they miss any other features ?

However, Mac DOES consistently come out with the latest and best hardware.
( at great prices too )
See how they were the first to offer ALL DDR3 in their product lines and LED screens.
We are now , just beginning to see DELL and Lenovo doing that.
HP is ..........so far off, I dont even look at their product lines.
Sony is out of this world with their pricing.

Mac ultra slim 17in Macbook Pro is also the first in the world at that thickness and price is fantastic too.

Once again, if you are an old hand at PC, its really not worth the trouble to switch.

Yep Leopard has been hacked as long as you have a valid copy I don't see any issue legal or otherwise. It's your license to run the software that you bought legally.

I have both, I was a RABID mac fan and I even sold their products for commission for 2yrs. Then they made the intel switch and then when I needed a new computer I could buy a MBP spend $3k and get a computer with (at the time) a 256mb video card...

Instead I got a dell with 512mb vid card 4gb of ram and spent $800...

I could care less about mac or PC but why the hell would you invest $5k into a SONY VAIO.

Those are the worst laptop computers in the world EVER. I had 1 of them and NEVER EVER again.
