Being mainly a Mac user myself, I think Mac's advantage is not about better movie-making or photo-editing or anything like that, but about how Apple keeps their products simple to the majority of users. Note how they pull off older lines of products when new ones come out, so that you don't get overwhelmed. At any given time there're only that many options for you to choose from: Macbook White, Macbook Pro 13", 15", 17", Macbook Air. And also they make the distinctions about these products visible to the people who don't know much about computers: the size, the colour, not the components inside; but still you know which one's more powerful due to common sense: Pro > White, larger size > smaller size. In term of software, same story. iMovie, iPhoto are much simpler, not because they're smarter, but because they have everything set up for you: themes, transitions, colour sets, etc. You are literally just 1 click away from everything.
But the same advantage is also the disadvantage, advanced users normally don't like Mac because they are so not flexible. They take away the excitement of building a system from scratch, take away the freedom to go into little details, etc.
Edit: Oh and I'm not saying all Mac users are noobs in computer world, I'm just saying in most cases they are, like me ^^
Ah ha! There we are. An application that is preferred on the Mac. Makes sense. However, you did say you use the PC more. I guess one program can't be a good enough excuse to use another computer type.I have to say I generally prefer using a pc, as I used macs and I really couldn't get used to the OS, but maybe thats because I didn't give it enough time to grow on me .
However, I think some of the software only available to mac is awesome, for example, Logic pro - I've used a couple other audio programs but none of them are as good or comprehensive as it in my opinion.
I wish there was a version for PC .
I absolutely agree, and if they sold their kit at a reasonable price ie, what its worth i would be into macs a lot more.
Oh and if i had never met a member of the cult of mac, that didnt help either!
It's simple....
can you custom spec a Mac with a flashy case etc..
like you can your wonderfull pc at pcs
Not than i can remember
Beautifully said and quoted Gorman!
Sorry if I sound ignorant Akikos, but what was the point you were trying to make with that last post?
"In the early 90's the PC got Doom and the Mac got Princess Dreams Pony Riding School, that is all you will ever need to know about gaming on a Mac"
so my point dear LDUK friend is that MAC SUX nowdays, can only be used for video editing and graphic but HEY windows can do that also !!
