Were you to take one of the new Macbooks with switchable dedicated graphics, or indeed the Mac Pro, they’d compare quite favourably to PC gaming. This is also true of a plethora of Windows-based laptops and is the case with any machine with integrated graphics. With regards to playing games, you’re stating the integrated graphics of certain laptop models can’t run certain games. I could pick a crap PC in this office and compare it to the high-benchmarking iMac on my desk but it would hardly be a fair fight, would it?Ģ. You can only fairly compare the experiences with similar spec machines. Your comparison between your Mac and your PC are unfair, because your Mac clearly a) has software issues causing the OS to ‘freak out’, or not enough memory, and b) is clearly lower spec. People who don’t have a shitting clue what they’re talking about need to stop trying to weigh in on an comparison they only know one side of.

If the price is a problem then obviously you need to go for a PC. You get what you pay for in that department, and no one can honestly argue with that. People who bitch about the cost of a Mac should compare the build qualities of the major PC manufacturers to the build quality of a Mac machine. The thing that makes Mac machines crap is not the hardware, nor the software, but the users not understanding how to use or maintain them properly. The things that make Windows machines crap is not the hardware, nor the software, but the users not understanding how to use or maintain them properly. There are too many stupid replies to this thread to even bother responding to them individually. I have used both PCs and Macs for about eight years, I’ve done hardware and software repairs to both and one thing I’ll tell you is this: go with what you prefer and don’t bitch at the other lot. There are so many people across the web who don’t have nearly enough experience on both platforms to make any kind of judgement as to which is better. I’m a Mac Zealot, but even I know it’s stupid to flame PCs as there are obvious cost advantages and there’s a wider choice of hardware.

Is hp consider a mac or a pc
