pros and cons

okay boys i need some help for the holidays. there coming up soon u know so get ur mommy something nice *hint hint*

okay well my mom has been looking at a new computer *thank god* and my best friend's family just picked up a apple. and that cought my moms eye. so what are the pros and cons or an apple also what about a dell

im not into PC gaming at all so that doesnt bother me

also could u please tell if u use an apple or dell or what ever company you have.

Pros? Best OS in the world, massive stability

Cons, have to wait for games to be ported. But most poplar games are ported, its not like macs have NO games.

I too am sporting Apple's.

A G3 ibook and a G4 PC. I don't use the G4, but both are incredibly stable. If you don't game much, then a mac is a good choice.

The only con that comes to mind is the price. But it's the old saying, you get what you pay for.

edit: give us a bloody price range.

I am also behind the fruit(Apple).

I have an Apple G3 PowerBook and an off brand 1gHZ AMD.  I use the Apple more.

Don't be affraid about learning to use OS X, it is so fricken easy, and relibable.

Go with the Apple, you won't regret it. (I wish my parents would consider getting an new Apple)

I am not very fond of apples   but that is simply cuz of inexperience and of when i hav used them unfamiliarity   but i have a fairly new compaq presario and its rockin windows xp   i haven't had ne problems at all   although  i would suggest that you do something very effective to prevent spyware      may my old PC  Rest in peace

i have a dell and am running wondows XP home edition and i love it. very nice. i am also running Media Com i think on it. (family computer)

You can also say that about any Apple.

Everyone in this thread who is talking about apple owns one, except trogdor, but nobody listens to him anyways.

If you're only gonna be using it for schoolwork/internet surfing, then you may as well get some pre made dell. They work fine, and won't break the bank.

Mac<pile of dog poo
Windows<Iraqi POW camp (under Saddam)
Lenix(sp)<passing a kinedy(sp) stone

they all suck
