[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 14561311, member: 27761"] these are pretty much the current "in general" rules-of-thumb for the mac/PC debate... macs are higher quality in their construction(not necessarily hardware) PCs are a better value macs won't require as much maintenance(of the OS, but maintenance of the current iterations of windows is very minimal) PCs have more available/a larger variety of software(and it's native, not ported - lower chance of bugs/issues) macs have better resale value PCs have more upgrade potential(you should have no problem upgrading up to the capability of an "average" computer maybe 6 years into the future, if not longer) macs have seamless integration with other apple products(duh...) PCs are easier to integrate with the numerous other non-apple products(though still apple product capable of course) mac OS is a little more accessible/simpler windows is more flexible/offers easier personalization(i REALLY like having my shit set up exactly to my liking) ...and that's about it as far as i'm concerned. at this point there aren't any huge gaps like in the past, quality and value are the only major differences. i'd suggest trying out a mac if any friends have one before pulling the trigger, because you will need to learn a new operating system if you're not familiar with it, and you might just find that the advantages that a mac offers just aren't worth the time.
