<p>And, everyone ALREADY knows that Macs are overpriced for the hardware they use. =p</p>
<p>Apparently not as people still oversimplify power and judge processors and laptops based on the processor family.</p>
<p>You use “whole package” to give false tangible worth to your preferences and opinions.</p>
<p>Do you really know without copypasting from google, the important addition to clarkdale and sandy bridge that is not present in lynnfield? How does it affect laptops?
Do you know the performance differences of different clockrates between different processor architectures in common benchmarking programs?</p>
<p>Your previous posts lead me to believe you do not.</p>
<p>^not really no. I didn’t have a problem with what you were bringing to the table info wise as much as how you did it. It had that whiny “I know more than you” tinge to it and it gets old quick especially when someone is trying to get help on something. I understand that you like you something other than macs. Alot of people do and I respect that. What I didn’t like was how you said it. Your post means jack when you don’t add something tangible, using your words!, to the conversation. It sounds like you know your stuff, I’d just appreciate it a bit more if you’d use that knowledge to help further this thread instead of spewing your dislike for macs. Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>Um.</p>
<p>Why does this matter?</p>
<p>How much knowledge a person has about architecture (which I have little) doesn’t really matter when you’re using a computer.</p>
<p>rymd, I didn’t say that. I was just using that as an example of a different feel. Honestly, I prefer crunchbang to OS X, but use OS X because it’s easier (stuff works without major setup on OS X and Windows way more often than even the most widely used distros, so yeah). My personal recommendation is to get what you can afford and you like best. If that’s a mac, that’s a legitimate choice. If it’s a PC with Win7, legitimate choice. If you’re masochistic enough to want to run LFS or Gentoo as your main OS, more power to you, those are legitimate choices.</p>
<p>These are the BMWs, not Macs:

<p>My posts were reactionary, a direct response to your posts. Of course it sounds “whiny” when you take it in comparison to the entire thread, however you were the one who said “PS- Everyone understands clock speed and the difference between a 1st and 2nd gen processor. We get it, you know stuff. Thanks for the input.”, but once questions about it, your ruse quickly falls apart.</p>
<p>Of course it it always easy to take the apparent moral high road and nitpick at my attitude while sprouting the universal “everyone has their own opinion” scapegoat and avoiding the real arguments.</p>
<p>I’ve only said one negative thing about macs and that is that for the hardware they provide, which most people agree on. Your arguments focus on how an OS feels which is your preference. Essentially you are saying, “I feel one OS is easier to use, therefore it is better” which is contradictory to
“I understand that you like you something other than macs. Alot of people do and I respect that.”</p>
<p>Lets agree to disagree. Better than fighting like a couple of nancy’s on the internets. My posts were reactionary just like yours. I just didn’t appreciate how you stated your post. Thats why I came it with the view I did. Nothing urks me like someone who acts “too cool for the room” and that was the vibe I was getting when I read your post.
You obviously know CPUs. My problem, as stated above, was about how you handled telling everyone that. You didn’t come at it humbly or in an informative way, you just went ahead and told everyone “Don’t even mention i5 or i3 and the processing power of each when you don’t even know the different clockrates and the difference between lynnfield and sandybridge.” You didn’t care to tell anyone the difference, just that the board was wrong and that we shouldn’t even talk about it. That was my issue. I know a bit about processors, but I don’t delve into it nearly at the level you must’ve to know what you know. Thats why I got mad when you posted that. You weren’t helping besides your first couple sentences about price, just “dissing” the board. Besides that, I was fine was everything you posted. It was informative and you took me to task on my knowledge of processors lol. So…thats it.</p>
