The Radiated Banana Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Everytime someone posts a problem with their computer and mentions they use a mac, they always make fun of it. Why do you guys think macs are bad? I personally think they are great apart from being overpriced, but there are some pc's that are overpriced too (alienware, razer).

Charity Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I use a Mac, and I love them as well. They do their job, and seem to last forever. The only reason that comes to mind is the ability to only play certain games, where PCs can play all of em'. Other than that, I think it's the price. They're fairly overpriced, yes, but they're solid devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabaers Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've got one and that's what I use. I didn't buy it, but if I did buy a computer, I would build a PC. I love the GUI but that's about the only benefit besides the very small risk for viruses. For gaming, it lacks so far behind PCs. I can't upgrade it, stuck with relatively low frames, and can only ever run half if the games I want, simply because devs don't spend the time or money creating games for Macs. Other software is very hard to find, and its hard learning windows at school and trying the same at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FP Clone #67 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Because it's cool to hate on apple. Don't get me wrong, I do it too, but that's the biggest reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakgrund Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Fanboys tend to not realise that other people might have different needs and preferences than they do, so that's the easiest explaination I could give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocide Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Everytime someone posts a problem with their computer and mentions they use a mac, they always make fun of it. Why do you guys think macs are bad? I personally think they are great apart from being overpriced, but there are some pc's that are overpriced too (alienware, razer). Generally speaking those that hate them are 1 of 2 things, IMO. 1) Uninformed 2) Fanboy/bandwagoner Macs are not the end all be all of computing. While they can be fiddled with and configured to make it damn near AIO, no machine - mac or PC regardless of the config (multiboot, hardware etc) - is the perfect solution. If you think about it though, most that hate them are more a gamer than anything else, power user, coder, admin, etc. And as we all know from live game chat vids on youtube, who screams the loudest? Whats one of the things PC does FAR BETTER than macs? Gaming. Don't get me wrong, that isnt the only reason by any means. A lot prefer Windows or Nix to Mac for other things. I used to hate on mac because of my past expereince with pre-OSX generation. Since then it has gotten better, a lot better in just about all aspects from pre-OSX. I have a rMBP with a dedicated 650m. Its triple booted with Win7, Mavs and Slackware. I use it everyday all day for work and personal use. For me it is perfect mix of administration capabilities and universal OS need, whether it be for time killing, gaming, etc. However, when i feel the need to truly get into the zone and game for hours I have my windows/slackware desktop for that. Sure you can, I doubled my Macbook's RAM. Not anymore with the new soldered retinas and airs. Nothing can be upgraded now, SSD and memory are both soldered to the mobo. Kind of a dick move on Apple's part but when has Apple done anything to save consumers money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems like you've missed a very critical point, you don't buy a Mac to play games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 There is not a bad product, just a bad price. My only issue is that I have had windows so long that the mac layout is alien to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
>Sneaks Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Because I don't mix movies/make videos/do the stuff macs are intended for. Then there's the fact that most things aren't mac compatible. The interface confuses me (but that's a personal issue) Then there's the OS. Mac utilizes a more closed OS which prevents users from modding it at all (and is one of the reasons why it is hard to get a virus on one.). PC has a more open one that allows for some modding. (Personally I want to learn Linux) Then there's the price. I can build a much better PC for much cheaper. If stuff needs to be updated, just buy a new part and install it. If you need to upgrade a Mac's hardware, you need to buy a new goddam computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to find an ultrabook with a PCIe ssd, 1440p or higher resolution, excellent battery life (7-9 hours--15 vs 13"), an excellent keyboard and trackpad, and a strong yet light/small design for less than the price of a mac.

Torr. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The graphics may be nice. But the price tag on it. I can get a windows computer and run games 4x better. Also, mac isn't designed for games, more for graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
