Its funny how Apple people never want to admit their products are no better/worse than the windows PC products. The hardware has defects and glitches just as much as PCs. The software has just as many problems, although not as widely reported - maybe because the Apple market share is considerably less. The more market share Apple gets the more we will be hearing about these glitches instead of having them swept under the rug.
I have been using both macs and windows pcs for a couple years now, upgraded to the macbook pro last year from an older imac, and I have to say, my mac laptop is not all that impressive AT ALL. Other than the fact that it's pretty and thin, it does hang on me (i think about 4 or 5 times this year could be worse). Also it gets insanely hot quickly and very uncomfortable to use, and I don't play games or do video editing stuff, just web editing some light photoshop and itunes and safari. The battery's also getting worse in just a year of normal use although I followed the user guide and calibrate the battery every month.
On the other hand, I've been happy with my IBM laptop from work which I had for about 5 month, never locked up or anything with same kind of work load as the MBP, and it runs equally quite compare to my MBP but MUCH MUCH MUCH cooler when operating. With proper virus protection, I never have virus. Also MSN messenger for windows has full functions like video and voice chat, but that's just a personal preference.
So it's sad now I pretty much just take my IBM from work and use it at home, although I spent $1999 for that MBP. I do turn it on for iTunes cuz my music library is to big to move.
One thing I really really like about the MBP is its touchpad, its the most awesome thing ever so easy and intuitive to use, oh and keyboard feels much better than the IBM and it lights up too.
I don't believe all the hype for Apple stuff anymore, at least their computer aint that much better than Windows PCs.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
It's not a bug, it's a built in feature for all Macs.
Yeah, they are trying to be more Windows-like so all the switchers feel comfortable with the computer.
It just works!
rofl.
Now if Microsoft would concede to Windows being a virus magnet and provide free virus protection we can call it even.
I'm just wondering how many people that bash Macs all the time have actually used one the last 5 years?
