Sorry, thats all basically nonsense. How can you trust the opinion of someone who hasn’t even grasped typing?

I have to agree with Andy. Dude needs some serious etiquette in messaging. :)

Mac’s are awesome and a heck of a lot more user friendly. However, if something goes wrong, you can forget about OSX (Tiger) telling you what has run a muck, instead it’ll just say take it to an Apple dealer. At least with Windows, you can remotely figure out what is wrong…Sometimes. :) All said and done, Macbook Pro’s rock! Just don’t buy the new Macbook Air yet, since it is a first generation and there are bound to be all sorts of problems with its hardware.

Buy a Mac! I would, if I had the money! :)

Im not gonna lie, macs aren’t perfect… and i have had a couple of issues with mine, but they are much easier to sort out than PCs that go wrong, and they balls up less than PC’s, viruses are an issue but you can get virus protection software…

dont let that guys resevations put you off, I use my mac for all my photography stuff and its great…

I seem to be one of the minority that has never actually experienced any issues with any of the Macs that I’ve owned, and there have been a few.

1. Parts are not unserviceable. You can return your Mac to Apple for servicing, take it to Mac-Sys (eeeek) or the new Apple store thats opening in town, and it’ll be repaired just as quick as you’d have a PC repaired anywhere else. Keeping servicing to only experienced, highly trained staff makes sure fixes are one-time-only, unlike the horror stories from places like PC World, who don’t seem to have a clue about what they’re doing! Needless to say, hardware problems are minimal - much less than PCs anyhow - as Apple take care of both the software and hardware, allowing much greater integration between the two, and much less in the way of problems.

2. Overpriced hardware. Just look it up, comparable specs between a Dell Laptop and a Mac-top are roughly the same price, Apple just don’t produce as low end as a lot of other laptop manufacturers - “you can get a windows laptop for £300 less” is like basically saying you can get a machine of lower-grade parts for £300 less. Of course you can, but wouldn’t you rather pay for something that isn’t going to die after a year? The point above about Apple hardware/software integration is also relevant in this regard.

3. There has never been a widespread Mac virus. A lot of people are happy to put this down to the “low” numbers of Mac users, but with this growing into the double digits increasingly, don’t you think there are hundreds of virus writers out there attempting to be the first to corrupt Macs on a widespread basis for the “fame” of being the first? Macs are far from perfect, but the integrated security of the OS is miles above Windows, and this point is completely invalid.

4. You can extend your warranty for not a whole lot extra using Applecare, but Apple don’t tend to be very strict about this, I’ve had machines repaired out of warranty before, and I’m never billed for calling and asking for help. Apple are somewhat notorious for excellent customer service, something I guess you’ll only realize after you buy a Mac.

A bit of jazz? Whatever that means, Macs are gourgeous, slick, easy-to-operate computers that are chock full of “jazz”, whatever that may be …

And a feel of what you’re doing? Windows is a usability nightmare - I’ve used it for a long time alongside my Mac - and whatever that is supposed to mean also, I certainly “feel” what I’m doing more on my Mac - like the saying goes, it just works.

Rebuttals welcome, kthxbai.

Oh, and by “double digits”, I mean market share percentage, not that the 12th Mac owner just walked out of an Apple store earlier today … :)
