Microsoft vs. Apple

i never said i have.....but anyways...you could but a higher spec PC..for much less than the cost of a similar mac...but if i had tons money...i would buy a mac...looks so much..cleaner

 

I was skeptical before reading it, but that's actually a decent analogy.

 

I buy a computer to compute. When it stops doing it really fast, I put Linux on it.

 

The OP is an idiot. Starting a Mac vs Microsoft thread is never a good idea.

OP = FAIL.

 

Both, anything less and you're not hardcore enough. Same goes for consoles.

 

I find it funny how the whole entire "Apple Vs Microsoft" argument has become irrelevant.

Just goes to show how far we've come in these past few years.

LOL. YOU CANNOT COMPARE APPLE AND MICROSOFT. THEY MAKE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS.

Microsoft makes an OS, so does Apple.
Apple has an entire lineup of computers, Microsoft does not.
Microsoft has a gaming console, Apple does not.
Apple makes media players, so does Microsoft.
Microsoft randomly creates really cool looking projects that they just scrap and put out a terrible looking thing instead, Apple releases the cool stuff and doesn't waste their time.

There is only a little overlap.
But  still wins.

Ooops, forgot, Microsoft also makes(made) a "dumbphone," and Apple makes the best selling smartphone of all time.



YAY! 1000th post! Spent it arguing about Apple!

 

And yet Apple still makes more money because they don't only make the operating system on their computers.

 

they select the components and put them together..the only part they really make is the case....the do not make the CPU or anything else.

if you only need windows....why not just get a windows machine?

 

What?

Microsoft has a much larger profit margin than Apple, 'cause for the most part they're just selling bytes.

Apple will never ever beat Microsoft in revenue (computers only).

 

the hardware in a mac is nothing special...you could get a pc with exact same components. the only difference is that the PC would be cheaper and the case wouldn't have an apple on it

 

But it is true, what's so special about a Mac as far as hardware goes?

 

You know pretty much what you're getting, unlike pre-built PCs/laptops. It's nice being able to buy a new Macbook already knowing it's ins and outs perfectly.

 

Um, who needs a manual for a prebuilt computer period?

 

yes it is...its very true...all the internal components are from other manufactures which you can find in ant PC

huh...have you ever even bought a PC..they list out all the parts before you buy it

and thats a good thing why?
