PC (because of gaming,software)
MAC is used just for Video Editing,Music making, surfing the internets.There isn't a lot of games on it, a very small choice of software, it's fucking expensive (at least in my country).But the MAC OS X is a very stable operating system unlike Windows.
Mac has an ugly clone design, it feels too controlled/constricted to allow for any customization or "hacking", PCs are used by everyone so naturally a lot of software won't work for the Mac :(
Why do people say Macs are good for graphics and video editing - not true, professional software exists for Windows too! Also, Mac's heavy, saturated screens obscure any fine detail.

Waste of money.

Apple has some of the best screens for their laptops, show me other laptops that use high gamut IPS displays. They are far better at showing accurate color reproduction.

Why reply?
I hate it on the Mac's mouse when the button goes under the the mouse itself.
So when your cord is in contact with the mouse you can't click.
And you can't drag and drop with a mac. You can make shortcuts :hurr:
ENEMY FLAMEWAR ABOVE!

That only happens when you drag and drop from a different volumes, if you do it from different folders it does move the files/folders from one location to another.
I use a PC but I disagree with comparing them, is like saying whether you prefer a keyboard or mouse. They both perform different tasks better, like Mac's are far better for professional editing software like music and video.
BAWW, MAK, BAWWW, WINDOWZ, BAWWW.
Its like the xbox/ps3 debate!
I mean, literally.
identical.

I said I hate these thread because I can.
PC
-Upgradable
-Able to Download Stray files from the internet
-Better for gaming
-Better for- anything, really
the only thing Mac wins in is -style, and -Music/Photo editing
"ohhh, look at me, i can edit my photo album by draging a box over certian peoples faces's!!" But what point does anything like this serve? You browse in photo's (PC) and small images come up of the pic. You press Crt+Mouse 1 over the images with that person. It takes 2 minutes more, but it doesnt cost 70$. (i went to best buy and saw it a couple days ago, worthless in my opinion)I still dont get whats so great about a Mac, my PC does not get Virus' (Norton 360 ftw), rarley crashes (maybe if i try to close a game by spamming the windows button, but in about 5 seconds, it will come up again. I can download better things to edit photo's / music from the interweb (joke). Plus i can right mouse button, usfull for aiming in games, and editing files. But im not sure about one thing- can mac's download stary files? (garrysmod files, .swf files, .pdf, etc.) Idk, i havent looked into it. and if so, does it cost? Plus you can have Windows for mac, Why not just get windows?!? same thing, cheaper, better for games, and faster RAM+ more memory (at least 600gigs in 2009 models)
PC all the way.

I know. That is why he is winner!
um, ok?
I prefer Windows XP (prof) over the newer Windows operating systems. It's cheap, simple enough and it does what I need.
Overpriced + Unable to play games + Bad specs
Custom Price + Able to play games + Custom specs
pick one line.

Again, Mac's have right click. And yes, you can download the same things you can as on Windows, I don't know why you think you can't download .swf or .pdf files. You can download .exe's as well, you just can't open them (by the way, it doesn't cost anything extra).

I'm not a fan of Mac desktops, but their MacBook's are some of the best in the laptop market. You are comparing a very small section of the computer market, only a small portion of people who buy computers are hardcore gamers. Windows is a very bloated OS, if a Mac and PC have the same specs, the Mac would win in cross-platform applications, in terms of performance.
Also, Steam and their games are coming to Mac very soon.
I'm surprised how PC fanboys are so mis/uniformed.
Makes me ashamed to be a pc fanboy.

meh I'm not misinformed, I know macs can have this thing called a "virtual PC"
it's just that most games are made for the PC and not the mac.
also the mac I got is slow as fuck and filled with shit my brother downloads
"virtual PC"? you mean Boot Camp?
Boot Camp isn't virtualization, it's a seperate partition on the hard drive.

I totally agree. People seem to want to bash Mac because it's the cool thing to do, yet some/most of their reasoning is based on facts from the 90's that have long since been fixed.
If you hate, learn what you hate.
Otherwise you look like an idiot by shouting random arguments that make no sense.
Isn't this in the fucking rules?
No Mac vs. PC, it just makes people flame like shit.
FLAMING IS BAD PEOPLE
Oh and I have a Mac :)
Not saying it's better.
In fact I have both
Edit:
They do have a fucking right click if you don't mind.
