I am using Macbook Black NO more worries of viruses, no more blue screen, no more low memory error, no more "Insert Windows XP CD" for driver, plus you have endless (good) freeware for your mac.

fuzzy Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have a ibook G4 for the last 5 year and still in good condition. :thumb: It is running well. Only at the three year where the system refuse to start up and have to change the motherboard. Luckly bought the Apple Care package. If you worry about the mouse right-clicks in Windows, it works well for Macbooks. Microsoft Office for Mac works well with Microsoft Office application for Windows as they are compatible. Now with the new Macs, it have a programme that allows you to run Windows programme. It is now very versatile. Now I am looking for a Mac to replace my existing Macbook.

Guest PC user Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Is it true that programs written for PC will not run on Mac? And that there are fewer programs for Mac?I do not as yet find any problem with PC but dislike Home Vista as OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only solution is to install Windows on your macbook. To answer your second question, windows is now still used by more or less 90% user worldwide, so u can count the possible number of applications on PC.I never found any problem with my PC so far, use both Windows XP and Windows Vista, after SP1, i start to like Vista..

CrazyBrain Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Your decision is very much depands on what kind of user are you. If you are normal user who only looking for web browsing, doc editing, chatting and home entertainment. Mac will be a good choice. however, if u are a power user or gamer. I do not agree that mac can replace pc at the moment. I think (generalizing) mac is relatively more expensive to own. Of cos it can bring you other indirect or psychological benefit that offset the price.i am using window xp still and never had blue screen. For viruses wise. Invest in good antivirus. May be mac is idiot proof, which is a plus point. Quote *when your mind goes out of control* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopaen Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Macs are generally not that much more expensive than a PC, considering u get a fantastic screen and ease of mind. (forgot tomention, the CD/DVD reader is almost silent. )Regarding ur question about software, other than games, i've not been missing much of windows software, google enuff and u will often find Mac alternatives.Unless u are using some Windows software that ur office/work requires u to do so, you won't actually feel a sudden lack of software. plus macs comes with their own basic photo/video/music-making/web-site making software which, unless u are an advanced user, u will find it just right. Not sure what Crazy Brain means by power user, but personally the only difference is the lack ofgames.forced my family to use macs, never looked back since 2003.On whether macs are more stable, i have to admit that macs do crash. not as often as a PC though.in my family we have an imac, a mac mini, 2 macbooks (one has been ard since pre-intel times), 1 powerbook. only the mac mini crashed once, and the imac once.Also, if u want to upgrade components of ur mac, u either bring it to a shop or u have to do quite a fair bit of reading up compared to a PC. I opened my imac and could not decipher the innerworkings..for this, the PC wins.anyway, pm me if u got any more questions..P/s: if u decide to stick to Windows, try to get XP.

Guest mac-idiot Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 For the average computer users, the daily activities include surfing, watching pxxn, IM, and music. All these a Mac can do equally as well as Windows.The reasons why people choose a Mac over PC are the following few:1. Stability2. Less Virus and trojans3. Ease of use4. Aesthetic5. It is an Apple productCompatibility with Windows programs have became as idiot proof as ever, you have MS office, MYOB and all sorts of software running natively on the Mac. If you want to run AutoCAD or Access, you can try CrossOver, it can open .exe (programs written for PC) files on a Mac, eliminating the need to install a alternative OS like XP or Vista on a Mac. As a last resort, you have the option to install full Windows on a Mac via BootCamp, Parallels or VM Fusion. In fact, the latest Macbook Pro runs Windows 7 beta the best among any other laptops or even desktops.Power users such as professional video and photograph editor should look no further than the Macbook Pro or the Mac Pro, many coders are turning to developing for Apple due to its increasing install base and stability. Many major game developers are releasing their titles simultaneously on the PC and Mac too, such as WoW, Spore and so on.Don't worry about right clicks and stuffs, you can do it on a Mac as easy it is on a PC.I find the Mac a good package for all your media needs, the iLife suite that ships with every Mac lets you manage your photos, music, videos, and blogs neatly and best of all integration is tighter than some of our butts and most of our mouths. That means you can whip up a homemade video with your favourite songs as background music with some photos as your title screen.The only question is really to go mobile or desk bound, the asking price might be higher than your average netbooks or nettops, but it is really bang for your buck and worthy investment.Those looking at Macbooks should buy now while Mac minis and the iMacs are overdue for upgrade so I would suggest you to hold for a while.Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passinthenight Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just recently purchased a macbook on the recommendation of a computer geek at work.

Guest mac-idiot Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Congrats on your mac purchase, and do spread the love, pass it on.If you have not received a tutorial on how to install Mac Applications, do take a look at this one.The screenshot above is where you can find all your Applications (Programs equivalent in Mac OSX)Click on Finder (far left at the bottom "Dock") -> click on ApplicationsMost of your Apps are here, as exciting as the preinstalled ones are, you can make your Mac more functional by installing more day to day Apps.On how to install new Apps, it is as easy as 3 steps:1. Download .dmg files from websites like http://www.macupdate.com/ and open it.2. Drag the Apps Icon (eg FireFox) to the Applications folder. (shortcut might be provided, if not, just refer to above to find the Applications folder)3. Eject the FireFox disc mounted on the sidebar.

Guest Mac-idiot Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The frustration of bringing home work certainly do not stop at just the workload itself, I have to use a Windows only program on my Macbook.So the natural instinct is to go Crossover, as covered in my previous post. I managed to install Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows previously but not the program I needed now.I had no choice but to install Windows XP SP2 via Boot Camp, Vista is too unstable anyway. Loading the blue screen of initial Windows setup is always a bitch, now I understand why Mac is idiot-proof because Windows can even force an idiot to learn a thing or two. After toying with the partition format, I finally got to the product key page in the initial Windows Setup, and the rest is a breeze. Setting up Windows on a Macbook is just as tiresome as setting up Windows on any other PCs.The grassfield wallpaper, the blue taskbar, and the recycle bin. The Windows XP interface brings back a disgusting form of nostalgia to me and it reminds me how painful it is to have to install all the drivers in order to get everything in working order. Fortunately, the Mac maker throws in a DVD filled with drivers for the Macbook hardware, and it is the same Leopard installation DVD. Just pop in the disc and I got my iSight, Airport, Touchpad and keyboard working seamlessly in no time. Compared to installing XP on a self assembled PC, most of the time you'll have to pop in many many CDs to install every drivers to make things work for you.I still have to install my Office 07, movie players and whatnots, at least I can finally revisit some of the old PC games I grew up with. Now, I have a fully functional XP on a Macbook and I can assure you, it runs smoother than any XP on a different brand of notebook. Of course I can't wait till the day when I don't have to install Windows at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mac-idiot Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 On a light note, meet the update family of desktops from the Mac maker, hopefully you have heeded my previous advice on holding off the iMac or Mac mini purchase.Mac minis:featuring two different video ports, 5 USBs, firewire 800 and a new NVIDIA graphicsNew iMacs:cheaper, bigger, faster.With only one 20' and three 24" iMacs, Apple offers you a large LCD for the same price previous. Further more, the RAM is bumped up to minimum 2GB on the 20" and 4GB on the 24". My advice is: just skip the 20" and go for the 24" base model.

Guest Mac Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Use Fusion or parallels, it is more convenient than bootcamp if your windows usage is light.

chuberok Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have also been looking at iMacs recently and thinking of trashing my old desktop for a iMac.Some more fit my new white table. lolRealised that the new iMac that came in comes with the Nvidia GT120 or 130 graphic cards depenting on which model you choose.I have been thru a few forums and found out that the GT120 and 130 are actually Nvidia 9500GT and 9600GT models.Seems like there is not much improvements.There is a possible option to upgrade to a ATI HD4850 graph card.Which i read up to be one of the best mid range graphic.Just a few notes on wat i found out.Pls correct me if i am wrong.

And adding a ATI will cost another $321. It really boils down to your budget and usage.If you are just doing the regular surfing and not gaming or professional video or photo editing, GeForce 9400M is good enough even.
