Apples are basically crapm they really do not outperform PC's in any way, and most games, and applications are for Linux and Windows anyhow. Apples used to have purpose I think over the last few years they have lost any purpose though. Linux is now a far more viable alternitive to windows than MacOS will ever be.
For the case, macs in my opinion look ugly as hell and have all plastic cases.
The inside of the case looks very crowded to me, maybe organized LOOKING, but they got giant box heatsink deals, so we'll never know I guess. If you want organized, and much cooler looking get a Falcon-NW, because DAMN those things look nice. At a ridiculus price of $3000 you get a ATI Radeon 9000, I mean cmon? we're talking 3 grand!
The most powerful PC ever claim makes no sense, since Apple has made an effort to make themselves not considered PC's which they really arnt by x86 standards. The 64bit claim makes no sense, the opitron is used in workstations all the time as has been around since april, and if u can claim a mac is not considered a workstation type computer considering it uses Dual CPU's, you got issues.
The benchmarks they had were completly fake. The quake 3 running barly over 200fps on a P4 3ghz and a Radeon 9800? cmon, I can beat that on my crappy ti4200. I think they were using a MacOS emulator on Linux or something and then trying to play quake inside that or something really messed up, or the underclocked the computer by a large margin. If mac is so great for games, why do they not have titles like Battlefield 1942, and Counterstrike for mac, and sell low end video cards in the majority of their computers?
If anyone here has actually used a Mac, it takes too long to open up IE or Mozilla, and really feels slow overall, the OS is rather bloated feeling, probabily worse than XP on it's default theme in my opinion, add that to the fact, you're stuck with it's bloatiness you can change ur theme however u want in XP.
Something that is very ironic is that IBM makes the G5's, IBM the company that was involved in the very beginning of the PC with the x86 archatecture and all, now has to make second rate CPU's for mac, that need dual CPU's to even come the least bit close to a single Intel or AMD chip.
Apple the company isn't nessisarily bad, it's just that their computers suck! They have good idea's that take off like iTunes and other things like that, but seriously, the switch compaign? I know far more people that have gotten to sick of a mac that they switch to windows, and never heard of a person switching from windows to a mac, except on those commercial where they hire a bunch of AOL users to use a mac, and they probabily got it for free, so they didn't have to pay the $3000+ pricetag at all or anything like that, and are probabily limited, to using AOL on it anyhow.
Using a Mac is like using AOL, it is pointless and makes you look like a idiot. Anyone who honestly tries to claim Macs are better than PC's uses a crappy HP or Packard Bell computer, and in that case may have a few things they can claim, however the truth is Macs are falling farther behind in the race, and are selling far fewer than ever, and are a very hard sell. I wouldn't be surprised if the G5 isthe last CPU they ever use.
Oh yeah on mac u gotta pay for service packs over 100 dollars for 10.2 to 10.3, on windows you dload them from Windows Update, hell if you compare Windows to Mac, windows looks to great it's amazing, but when you bring Linux in, only then can u possibly start to make windows have downsides.
