In THREE words, why chose mac v pc

[batman123]

I thought the 1 word thread was a good idea, but as you are not allowed 1 word threads...

Choose 3 words as to why u would choose a Mac v a PC

Try to make them All Different. ;)

Batman. :D

[T-Stex]

I guess I'll be the first to say it:

"It Just Works"

Not too original, but it's true.

[The Grood]

Intrinsically Superior Experience.

(thanks for the help)

[Josh]

"One more thing..."

The innovation and new ideas are really great. There's not much I find exciting about regular PC's.

[bbrosemer]

OS For People

[gauchogolfer]

Ease of use

[batman123]

YOU, FORGOT, STYLE! :rolleyes: ;)

No probs grood... it was a gd idea :D

Batman.:D

[gloss]

I like it.

[Kingsly]

"Beats the alternative"

Seriously. Go to circuit city and look at their computers. Compare the price points to the hardware you get. PC games are still coming on 4-5 CD's, because PC manufacturers are too cheap to put in a DVD drive (all macs come standard with one) Okay, so you can get a cheap (but less hardware specs, etc.) PC for exactly what its worth: cheap. Or you could pay more for a Mac and get a totally great computer that, considering what it comes with, is a bargain. Plus they look really sexy.

Don't even get me started with OSX vs. Windows. :)

[zap2]

Mac OS X

[Steven1621]

"I hate Windows"

Just being honest, I suppose...

[notjustjay]

I second "It Just Works".

[MacRy]

[rosalindavenue]

"Focus on work."

I run mac at home and windows at work. On windows, half the time that I am typing, some kind of box or prompt or notification opens up and steals the focus from the app that I am using. OSX lets you know about things but doesn't steal your focus--

[crees!]

"Windows.....?!!!! Eat me"

[michaelrjohnson]

Beautiful User Interface

Usability Is Key

Windows Is Unstable

Macs are better? :D ;)

Because Max_altitude cheated!

you'd think OS X would have a calculator to help him count. :)


is "MacRumors is awesome" a good answer? I'll stick with that one.

[Josh]

How about:

"Developers! Developers! Developers!" (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6304687408656696643&q=developers+developers+developers)

That quote from Steve Balmer should be enough to make anyone want to *stop* using Windows/MS.

PC users brag instead of helping to alleviate the problem, where here we help each other and say - oh so and so had that problem here's a link to the thread of how he fixed it, or I had that same problem, just delete your preferences and restart. Nuff Sehd...eh? enough said
