<p>Sorry spinachinacan, for kind of taking over your thread. I hope that whatever computer you choose to buy serves you well.</p>
<p>Preference without reason is ignorance. A reason to prefer something shouldn’t include:
“all of my friends have it”, “it looked so cool in that ad”, “my PC sucks so much”, “the guy at the Apple store was so cool”</p>
<p>It should include:
“Sony PC ultrabooks have a longer battery life than any Mac with similar specs”</p>
<p>“Benchmarks show that the PC performs 5-15% better in Autodesk Maya than any Mac with similar specs”</p>
<p>“Compared to a Mac, the material used to make the Lenovo Thinkpad Ultrabooks is able to withstand twice the amount of physical shock before breaking”</p>
<p>“Some PCs can be configured to add multiple workstation GPU’s to create a mobile workstation, but the most you will get out of a Mac is a 650M”</p>
<p>In my thread I responded to that question. Basically, there are PCs that are more durable than a Mac, better looking than a Mac(opinion, but I guarantee you that there is always a chassis you will like better on the PC), and are able to sync with Apple devices as well as a Mac. However, with Macs you are stuck with 2 types of models and the only variety you get is in the hardware specs.</p>
<p>Since I did give reasons for preference, it’s nice to know my preference for Macs aren’t ignorant. All I needed to hear. </p>
<p>Meh, most of the Ultrabooks aren’t that pleasing to the eye in my opinion.</p>
<p>Did you? Post #20 was the only post where you described reasons why people might like a Mac, and I replied to them all in post #22. Now, your only semi-valid point is the looks, but even then you haven’t even looked at all of the ultrabooks to get a general idea of their image. Either way, buying computers solely based on looks is a pretty ignorant thing to do.</p>
<p>I never said I was against PCs. I’ve looked into Ultrabooks. There are some that are pretty neat. But this “Down With Mac” campaign you’re running is draining.</p>
<p>You respond really fast…a little unsettling but I was going to add this in. It seems as you’re a man a data (not so much pleasure) so before you claim everyone who prefer a Mac is an ignorant consumer, I did post this:
It was in another post to which you said I could buy a laptop without so an so for $600. I’ve done my research. Yes, I can admit that I should look into some demos on Windows 8 and some touchscreen a, but until that I prefer Mac.</p>
<p>Issue at hand? Would you mind telling me what it is?</p>
<p>Nice job avoiding the issue at hand.</p>
<p>EDIT: So you stick with your Mac preference because you don’t know much about the PC, and you only did your research when I pointed it out for you. The problem with this is that you gained that Mac preference before you properly researched the available PCs, making whatever Mac preference that you have biased. Until you know about both the Mac and the PC equally your opinion is invalid in such an argument.</p>
<p>I’m just gonna leave this phrase here- “de gustibuse non disputandum est”
It means “do not to argue about taste”. No matter what one of you says to the other, you are really arguing taste and opinions. And apparently, neither of you are going to change your minds anytime soon. So, lets all take a deep breath, agree to disagree and leave this poor thread alone.</p>
<p>So all of my evidence is just “taste”? You can call it whatever you want, but arguments between technology are always resolved by facts, not opinions. You can’t have a different taste in technology. What one person may like about the Mac may also available on the PC.</p>
<p>And if there is the same thing available on both computers, than if one person chooses to buy a PC over a Mac of vice versa than that is a matter of taste, yes. </p>
<p>I am not invalidating any of your research and facts. They are all true. But if I choose to buy a PC or not buy a PC based on those facts, that is my opinion. For example, if I choose to buy a Mac because I like the way the keyboard feels on my fingers than that is a matter of taste. Or, if I want to buy a PC because its screen is the size I want that is a matter of taste.</p>
<p>The way the keyboard feels can also be measured. Some people prefer softer keyboards while others prefer mechanical keyboards. The PC has both, the Mac has only one. PC is better for everyone, while the Mac is only good for a select few. I don’t think that you understand the difference between needs and wants. If you need a higher resolution for productivity software, you will get the computer with the highest resolution. Your wants are irrelevant. Everybody wants an ultimate high end computer, but if you only need to use Photoshop once in a while then you probably wouldn’t buy that ultimate high end computer. Same thing goes for Macs and PCs, but no matter what you need the PC has a solution, and the Mac is much more limited. You decide, complete freedom or illusion of choice.</p>
