    Even if you're just browsing the net:

    no fukkin popups every 5 seconds
    no viruses
    your computer wont reboot in the middle of an NFL 2h betting spree because Bill Gates decided updating Minesweeper was more important

    Microsoft getting killed by Apple because they haven't figured out in over 20 years that the computer is your bitch and not the other way around

    How many people can say their PC is running as smoothly as day 1 after 4 years? Mac users can

    Build your own computer and use a unix/linux operating system. Way cheaper and more secure than windows 7. Have never gotten a virus.

    Ask around this question: How many people buy a Mac and then go back to a P.C.? You'll find out that once people buy a Mac, they stick with it. That in and of itself says something.

    you should virtualize your windows comp and run ubuntu/ a linux OS and it makes internet faster, more simple, and super secure. or just wipe out your windows OS and install a linux OS over it and its free. try it and if it doesnt work then go out and make your own

    Mac is the way to go absolutely. A little awkward at first but you get hooked really fast on the efficiency and overall feel. I still use a PC for a couple things and every time I open up the PC I notice how clunky Windows and the actual keyboard feels now. Even the new Toshiba laptop I purchased in Dec is just not that great in comparison.

    Good luck finding one soon

    I treat my Mac like shit and it works great

    It is the way you should treat your computer, it is there to do whatever you want

    With a PC you have to hold your breath every time you click something because it might crash
    --
    As for Excel and Don Best etc, there are software issues but these are minor. You can get an Excel for Mac that works very well [a few years ago this wasn't true]. Anyways Don Best is useless if you go to make a bet and your computer turns off. This used to happen to me a lot.

    You will not regret getting a Mac for one moment.

    They are more expensive but work it. Would never go back to pC now.

    Come with bootcamp to allow you to run windows or you can run parallel desktops

    No viruses on a Mac is a myth.

    Many programs will not run on a Mac.

    what kind of crappy computers do you guys have that turn off while you are placing bets

    my laptop is an IBM, have it for 7!!!! years now, works just as well as day one and I treat it like shit, have spilled drinks on it, food, cigarette ash, even dropped it on the toilet once by accident, still doesnt skip a beat, also, never gotten a virus, dont use an antivirus either, you have do be a dumbass to get a virus

    you must buy your computers for a buck if they are so crap


    macs are horrible, incompatible with everything, uncomfortable interface, oh and you know the reason why they dont get viruses? because hackers dont think its worth their time to create a virus for macs, thats how shit they are


    people buys macs for the same reason they buy iphones and ipads, they are not the best products out there, nor the cheapest, but its 'hip' to own them, dumb people are slaves to fashion

    Mathy is sharp as a tack. I use to burn through one windows based notebook every year after buying 5 different brands I wised up and got a Macbook. Best tech move i ever made.

    Yeah he is sharp, encourages people to over spend for a PC/Laptop then abuse it.

    dont remember, took it with me, placed it on the counter next to the sync, something happened, I think I turn around suddenly for some reason and hit it, it went in the air and landed on the toilet seat, than god it was wide enough not to fall in, if it was a netbook or if it had fallen sideways it would have taken a swim

    Everyone who keeps saying buying a mac is overspending... such a ridiculous statement to make. It's like saying why would you buy a car for 10 dimes when you can get a bicycle for only $300. The quality difference is huge.

    Try taking a 4 year old PC and having a bunch of browsers open, your statistical software running to tell you what the right side of a bet is while also downloading porn. Your PC will fukkin blow up!! You should run and dive behind your couch so you don't get an explosion in your face. Listen to your PC revving and burning up when you do this On a Mac it is a piece of cake. And as for PC only having viruses because 'no one uses a mac' (lol at that statement), it doesn't matter what the reason is.

    Anyways look at how many people in this thread and in real life say "Now that I have had a Mac I will NEVER use a PC again". Nobody says the opposite. Who the fukk started with a Mac and moved to a PC and says they'll never go back??
