What he said. I still think that Macs biggest selling point is their 'snob value' which seems to be alive and well after all these years, which is surprising. If you want to pay 3 or 4 times as much for a machine that does exactly the same job as a pc , knock yourself out. Dont get me wrong, Macs' are sexy and yes, they work ever so well - but so do similar spec'd PC, but as Roy C says, you need to be a little bit savvy. Perhaps there's a clue in the fact that Mac still only holds about 20% of the market share?
Kits, Aston Martins do not fall over going round corners!! and also have a reverse gear.:-O:cat:
The battle between platforms is over. In our tests, raw performance was almost identical. Support for third-party software was close to equivalent. While our Mac felt faster by a hair, our PC was cheaper by a mile. Our PC came with a bundle of free software, but our Mac was impervious to viruses. The point is, as tools, these machines are both hugely—and equally—capable. And make no mistake: In 2011, tools are what they are. Smartphones and tablets have stolen our attention and affection away from laptops and desktops, and they're not giving them back. Besides, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Bing, where we spend so much of our time, are apolitical. So, if you love Macs, stay put. Likewise for PC partisans—Apple's touch-inspired software and sleek hardware are neat, not essential. For everyone else, the choice is simple: Save your money and buy a PC. It'll get the job done. And if you're interested in the real future of computing, take that extra cash and pick up an iPad.
I guess it's all down to personal choice? After all, why pay loads for an Aston Martin when it does exactly the same job as a Reliant Robin? :t:
Great comments people!
And just to get something clear... as anyone who knows me (and IMHO anyone with half a brain will realise) following trends/fashion just for the sake of it is pure vanity but each to their own, I dont get 'status anxiety' because I dont have the latest optics/clothes/IT equipment. Just because something is popular/expensive does not always mean it has any real value!!!!!
The next discussion will be if the ipad has enough of an advantage to justify the extra price relative to its competitors :-O :-O B
