Trade my Mac For Pc

[FlibbyFlobby]

I'd sell the Macbook and get a PC laptop personally. You could always get a Dell or an Acer laptop for a decent price.

Had a change of heart?

I would go back to a PC then, i personally wouldnt buy a mac if i was doing that.

Not for "surfing the web, watching movies, chat and a little bit of music."??

Safari, Firefox and Opera are all fine browsers.

DVD Player, Quicktime + XviD + AC3 + WMV + WMA components, VLC and Real Player together play everything you could want.

Adium + Skype communicate with every IM around

iTunes can easily handle "a little bit of music", and Garageband is great for knocking out a song.

Why on earth would a PC be preferable for that?

your horrible grammar is enough reason to switch back.

what Xero wanted to say was:

"Don't switch back, stay with Macintosh Users!"

but i must agree with you on switching from Mac to PC. I tried using a mac to work before, and being a long time PC user, just using a PC makes things so much quicker and easier. It might be my lack of Mac knowledge..

Hey cmon he's Irish

Errrr Right Matey , now cmon chop chop do your work !!!!

BootCamp. This may be news to you, but soon enough, you will be able to run OS X and XP. (in a window, expandable to a full screen) With full performance. This means that you'd be able to use XP just like any other laptop that has XP running natively.

Personally, I would sell the macbook to get a machine with decent graphics card. (you seem to be bored :) ) Something like the macbook pro or a laptop w/ core 2 duo and a x1400 or better with suffice.

If the guy doesn't want a mac, then let him sell it. You can't say he didn't give it a try or is naive about it or anything like that, he gave it his best and it wasn't for him. Personally I can see why he wouldn't want to keep the mac just to run windows on it, it kinda defeats the point in paying extra for the mac, all it is then is a fancy shell (which may not even be to his tastes) that has a touch pad with one button. He could probably sell it for a good amount of cash and get himself a nice little windows lappy that better serves his needs.

Apple MacBook 1.83GHZ CoreDuo - F*** that, I <3 my MAC!

You say this in your sig yet you question owning a mac...

I don't really see the difference, between a windows pc and a macintosh.

Like you say you just use windows on it. Why go though the hassle of selling it and buying another laptop if you have no problems with the windows side of it. I'd say keep it and stick with windows because thats what your use to. but try and use OS X more and learn it. Macbook is a really sweet laptop IMO.

In my own experience I have heard far more success stories of people switching back to Windows than people switching to Mac. If you get a PC running Windows you will not regret it, especially with Vista coming out soon which has more features and eye candy than OS X.

I'm a first timer also. First Mac was a Macbook and I love it. but I still can't stay away from Windows. The funny thing is, I'm in love with expose that on windows I always press F9 and F10 by accident when I have a bunch of IM windows open.

First Computer I used was a Macintosh, It was in my elementary school, I think in 2nd Grade, Used to play those math adding and subtracting games. then i've brought my first PC, then i've been a Microsoft Fanboy, untill my Macbook, and i just love how easy OS X is....

I think his final answer was to keep it...this thread no longer appears relevant
