Apple Sells Record-Breaking 5.5 Million Macs in Q4 2014

Or maybe it would look something like this:

PC: Hey Mac, I heard you sold a record number last quarter!

Mac: Yup, turns out the slump in PC sales only applies to Windows PC's.

PC: I wonder why that is...

Mac: It might have something to do with the fact that I run better, reliable, and logical operating system. Seriously, who makes an OS that's designed around touch for a non-touch PC? Or it could be that when you call me for tech support, you get an AMERICAN. Hmmm... maybe it has something to do with the FREE Genius bar help you can get with a REAL person in every major city. It could also have something to do with the fact that my components aren't likely to fail in the first 3 years, unlike you PC. Oh - another plus... the majority of my chasis is metal instead of cheap plastic. Also, I have a higher resale value, a sexier design, and I can RUN WINDOWS.


Seriously - the best Windows PC money can buy is a Mac running Windows 7 in bootcamp. Period. It's really sad when a computer designed around another OS runs its competitor's OS better than any of the competitor's offerings.

Seriously??? You obviously are either blinded or have little experience.

I have only encountered 2 macs that didn't fail in their first month. I still have them.

The other dozens I've had were on the weekly and monthly repair and exchange program, except for the ones which Apple refused to acknowledge their manufacturing defects until long after the dead machines were in a landfill.

Guess how many pc's I've had die or fail out of the thousands I've either owned or been responsible for in business? Absolutely zero.

Do I like os x? Yes. Do I prefer it? Yes. Is it worth the high price and endless repair cycle and early obsolecence? No.

I've spent a ton of money with Apple over the years. I've been through lots of repairs and systems they wouldn't repair due to U acknowledged manufacturing defects. My preference for OS X led me to optimistically keep trying.

But as things stand today, I'm happy to use either one. And I get more usage out of a cheaper pc than I'll ever get out of a Mac.

I've never had a mac fail on me yet out of 5 I've owned. That said I've never had a pc with a hardware failure either. The issue always was Windows getting slower and slower, freezing on updates, etc.
