Want a Penryn processor crack open an apple!

[skittle]

1. PC can be ANY shape/size/material/color you want. All apples look the same. They are not special. You are not special.
2. I am very skeptical, that you have any experience in any industry, but besides that fact, yes PC (rather windows) is used extensively in the "print industry"
3. No, OSX is a modified unix platform. Unix is ANCIENT and not nearly as secure as apple wants you to believe.
4. Once again, you can make a PC ANY shape/size/color/material you want.
5. You do realize that microsoft develops office right?
6. your opinion means very little, as i assume your under lying knowledge of any OS is extremely limited to GUI screenshots.
7. Ill try and put this in a way you can understand... Mac, and PC can use any keyboard they want. This kind of a moot point.
9. Luckily adobe finally updated creative suite for MAC, how many years had it been?
10. 30 in monster? Its just a large LCD using cheap parts that they sell for way to much. Real graphic designers use CRTs anywho. Also note that their imac monitors have severe color reproduction issues.

Watch ads all you like

Hey, that's abuse towards macintoshes, I don't know why I was your friend n primary but I'm not in high

 

[jimmysmitty]

Hey you guys against Apple go watch some mac ads and come back. Then you'll see why Macs are better than PCs

Don't make me laugh.... its funny as he tries to think of reasons why its better when its not.

1 All pcs are just boxes
2 I have used macs in the print industry and pcs just dont do it...
3 OSX is a modified linux platform... which is when patched very secure and has not spyware. Vista the latest os is poop
4 Have u seen the new macs.. I guess not
5 Mac Office is better than Windows it has features that pc just dont have.
6 Believe me Windows Vista is shat... Compared to anything else and before it..
7. Yes but mac keyboards are Just Class and fit with the rest of the kit.
9.. I wasnt talking about apple, i was on about Adobe Creative Suite and Quark..
10 I was talking about the 30 inch monster..


Ok now pcs

1.. Great if you want to spend you life upgrading it more than using it...
2.. Costs loads to get anything decent looking and working well.
3.. Great for games in between building and upgrading hardware
4.. 3D graphics are just out of this world in games...
5.. Excellent for Database work, General Office work, accounts, small photo work and web stuff..
6.. Various customization components...
7.. Generally faster than macs in normall use
8.. Industry standard software which is generally backward compatible
9.. Millions of software for it.
10. Great comminuties with loads of help from pc enthusiasts like this forum

And how many times and how long have you used Vista? Vista is a good OS. Stop being like Apple and just bad mouthing Vista/PCs without any proof... its all your opinion.

 

[skittle]

debian and freeBSD are the only cool choices.

@amdfangirl... well to be fair, the 30in apple has a much much higher resolution

 

[jalek]

Impressive. I didn't really understand the rant this thread started with, and I'm not sure where went.

For a mac as a wintel gaming platform though, doesn't a dual quad-core Intel with an 8800GT work well? I really don't know, I don't bother watching benchmarks at apple sites and don't use one myself, it just seems like a decent spec sheet, if a bit more server than workstation.

Having installed several Macs though, Apple does provide little clips and package everything more thoughtfully than most PC distributors. Maybe that justifies the premium cost to some.

I like Vista. I wouldn't run it on any computer designed to be run with Windows XP though. Just as I wouldn't run XP on a computer from 1998. I wouldn't just up and upgrade from XP to Vista, but getting a new computer I got Vista cause it's practically the same price for OEM.

... Maybe that justifies the premium cost to some....

Maybe to a small percentage, but the vast majority buy them because it says apple on it.

 

[Grimmy]

Why not just get a real organic apple and duct tape it to the keyboard or case?

😳

Edit:

Thread is moving faster then I'm typing... must be cause I'm on a PC.

 

[jimmysmitty]

I think my friend is a girl correct me if mistaken.......... 😗 :lol: :lol: :lol:

[macgirlfriend]

Hey I don't get you people, the people on insanely mac were so much nicer

This is Toms Hardware
Singing praise to the Mac is near blasphemous!

Thanks for the new quote by the way!

Thats cuz its a MAC enthusiast site. This is a Computer Hardware site.

Once this breaks out to my other friends, you're anti-mac behavior shall be disgraced

 

[Grimmy]

Do your other friends have PC's and use Mac's at the print industry too?

 

[jimmysmitty]

LOL..... I love Grimmy. Hes funny.

Macgirl, calm down. We are not anti-mac but MAC just isnt part of thr PC enthusiast crowd. We like things we can build, OC and make kick ass. Not things we can pay too much for, pull out of the box and turn it on <--------------- Whats the fun in being able to turn it on out of the box?

 

[evongugg]

After reading all this marketing I think I'll just stick to my Ubuntu rig, it's Unix and does the same things for free.

Apologies if this is the same vid already linked, but I cant see YouTube from work...

Not Mac bashing, but this one is pretty funny, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2759272713510041107&q=Mac+or+PC&ei=LJ0YSMOsIJGErgKH1Jn0Bw


And for you mac heads who want to spout your 'Macs dont get viruses and spyware' crap, its not cuz your platform is so much more secure, its because theres no fun in attacking such a small group of people.

Makes me want to learn how to write viruses...

Also you need to snap out of your 'PC Sux' mode. I hate to break it to you, but PC stands for Personal Computer. Pretty sure that means a Mac too, even before they moved to Intel. You need to understand that you hate WINDOWS, not PCs.

Ive used OSX, its alright, but I wasn't overly impressed. I can make Windows do whatever I want to do, so I have no need to move to anything else. As far as Linux, I want to learn it, but I just cant get motivated to take the time.

 

[macgirlfriend]

I thought you'd be with me Missy. I can't believe you let your friends attack me like that. I'm signing off.

 

[skittle]

this thread is starting to sound like an IRC session...

Edit: wow that reached 4 pages very quickly!

 

[jimmysmitty]

We didn't attack you. We dislike MACs but have yet to attack anyone.

Ouch she takes things way to personally. Good luck AMDfangirl.

 

[B-Unit]

O and I forgot, to the OP, my roomate has an HP laptop with a Penryn, they've been out for a while...

 

[skittle]

What was the OP again?

 

[jimmysmitty]

What was the OP again?

Something about the new MACs getting "Unique" Intel Penryn based CPUs. And now he states he is a AMDfanboy or something other. I don't know what his deal is but he acts like a newb.
