If you want this solved; Buy a mac mini if you have a monitor or an iMac if you don't, Macpro's are just overpriced IMO. You already have a PC I'm guessing, so, new mac comes with bootcamp, you use your windows disks with bootcamp and you can now run windows and OSX meaning mac only stuff and PC only stuff on the same comp.

Yeah, but they still crash. At least my parent's Mac did. The "logic board" broke.

Is a "Logic board" just a fancy term for Keyboard or the Motherboard in Mac's many attempts to act different from PC companies?

I don't know. But I know it's something internal because when it wasn't properly running, the thing wouldn't turn on. The only reason I know it was the cause of my parent's Mac to crash was because that's what the people said caused it when they took it in for repairs.

Okay. I'll look it up after I go to sleep.

Well
I use a Mac
I have a PC Desktop, But i like the Mac more. I havent used my PC in 2 months

But what exactly are you looking for? Gaming? if that what you want, PC is for you

But more along application wise, i would root for the Mac

and now they have intel so if you NEED windows,
you can use it as a secondary OS with the Macs

INTERNET:

Macs are like you're in a cage; you're protected from all that's out there, but you can't always run free (AKA download things quick and fast, and/or run everything)

Windows is like it's out free, meaning you're vulnerable to the dangers of the internet, but can do more, like downloads lots of programs quickly and run them.

MISC:
Macs generally don't have the best basic controls. The 'start menu' is only a bunch of icons always available at the bottom... In Windows, the start menu has just about everything. You click it, and you can go into folders and sub-folders. Also, you have to Control+Click, not right click or even scroll. You're dependent on the keyboard too much. On a Windows, you can operate a lot with the mouse and almost everything with the keyboard.

However, Macs also have their own little programs like GarageBand, some photo editing tool (Not positive if it's Photoshop), and SmartNotebook (Although I don't know if Windows has that too).

I'd go Windows, but that's only because I had it before Mac. If you have the money, try both out, or just go to a friend's house with a Mac, and one with Windows.

No, because you're wrong and won't accept it. If macs really were better, I'd use one in an instant.

i use a program called crossover, so i can open windows-based files directly on my desktop.

personally, i find windows start menu to be really clunky. on the mac, you put your most used programs on the dock, and find anything else with spotlight, which is much faster than windows search feature.
macs have right click and a scroll ball on their mouse, so your information is a little dated. and even when i used windows, i used keyboard shortcuts, i think they're helpful. but that doesn't mean you have to, the mouse is capable of everything it is in windows plus more. you should try actually using a mac for more than a couple minutes, you might actually like it. it's different, but that doesn't mean it's worse.

oh okay, i'm wrong. you don't use one, so clearly they're inferior. and you are who, btw?

I am better than you, that's who.
by the way, I'm not really this much of an asshole. I just don't like macs and you're easily annoyed.
