Title: Apple Vs Microsoft
Post by: Diabolical on June 28, 2005, 01:40:42 PM
Recently ive been thinking about what kind of computer i would like and ive read that Apple comps are better than PCs with Windows.
What do you guys recommend? Especcially the guys who produce because it needs to be something i can use Prootols and Reason like programs on. Also (producer Q)what equipment do you use to record audio?

I run everything with Microsoft.  But when I get enough money, I want to get a dedicated apple computer for all my production.  They're just easier when it comes to that kinda stuff imo.

Apple gets my vote.

Simple production software that comes with any new Mac purchase... GarageBand.  Check it out here... http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/

I would never buy anything from Apple, after trying the total garbage software that is QuickTime and iTunes. (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/Themes/dubcc/images/post/thumbdown.gif)

If you thought Microsoft was a evil empire who wants to see their own formats/programs take over the world, then just look to Apple.
Plus, if you're used to PC, there will be a dozen programs that you can just forget about using on a MAC, you'll get far less choices.

I'm probably gonna get one of those mac mini's to fuck around with. I really like Apples UI's.

I guess they're supposed to announce something big at the start of july, so I'm gonna wait untill then before making any purchases.

I dont use any programs on my PC that i couldnt find on a Mac, i dont even have Word on this computer.
So i dont see having to get used to new ones that big a problem. The only 3 other than IE i use are MSN, Notepad and Minesweeper.

I think it just depends on what your going to use it for.

If you play video games then windows
If you do designing with graphics and things like that....apple

If you do nothing important which you could do on either system....go with whichever one you think is prettier

If it was me id get a mac.

I thought i didnt make it clear but i looked and i did.
I will be using it for making music and i will be using photoshop but that would not be important, i would just be dabbling in graphics.

The only reason i would suggest not getting a mac is if you play video games. Because basically only a select few of games work on mac.

If your worried about not being able to use certain windows programs, mac has alternatives to every program, and sometimes there better. Also it depends on the money you have. Macs tend to cost more then a PC. my person opinion is get an apple.

I dont really play games, i have a PS2 but its never used.
I thought they would have alternatives because other wise it would be pretty dumb.
Thanks for the help man.
