  • PC PC PC...mac?

    So many questions on my mind!

    Can't decide what to get!!!!

    -PC or mac?

    I've been using Windows most of my PC life, but I like the mac design.
    Not ANY of the other designs intrigued me. 
    I think I should install Windows on my mac and use it as the shell.

    Then comes more questions,

    -Shall I get CPU 2.66Ghz?

    -Shall I upgrade memory?

    -Shall I get 光FLETS to go with it?

    When does the questioning stop?!

    Either way I have to buy one very quickly cuz my current one pathetically shuts off 10sec after booting.
    My trip to Akiba today was worth it, but still indecisive.

    I agree with Violent Jokes.  Running windows on a Mac is pointless.  Macs are so much better than PC's in regards to speed and usefulness, putting windows on it just defeats the whole purpose behind it.  Other than the appearance of course.

    Buuut Mac's take a little getting used to when you've only used PC's your whole life.  But most people complain about the mouse.  Just know that the apple(command) key on a mac basically works as the control key on a pc, and you can get a PC type mouse with multiple buttons so you don't get confused by the only one button standard Mac mouse.

    I had to switch from PC to Mac for my old work.  Took me about a week to get used to it, now I hate PC's hehe.

    thanx so much for the responses!
    still debating...
    I guess my idea of using both win and mac OsX on the same computer fires a debate.

    brian, if you have problem with opening websites on mac, just install firefox, no need for windows! works better than IE and no viruses!!

    windows is a thing of the past... seriously...

    I started with PC but now I'm using MacBook with both systems(Windows and Mac OsX),I think it's great,I use OsX most of the time but some websites don't show properly on Mac,so I'll turn on the Windows
    Mac is so much more stable than PC,and I've been using Mac for a few years already,and I never have any antivirus software installed...

    SISTER... USING WINDOWS ON A MAC IS LIKE WASHING YOUR FEET WITH YOUR SOCKS ON... OR (if it makes the idea better) RUNNING A FERRARI ON THE LOWEST GEAR... DONT DO IT.

    Excuse me,That Answer write in English was Difficult to me.Bcz write in Japanes,so sorry.
    初めまして。私は会社はWinで自宅はMac Userです。今は、Mac Book Pro でCPU2.5Gを利用しています。
    BootCampやエミュレータは利用していませんが、どちらかを利用すればMacとWin両方使えますし、私のノートでも問題ないそうです。

    そして、家はFLETS光！全く問題なし。

    この書き込みもMacintoshだし。

    GyaoやYahoo!等の動画は、MediaPlayerのバージョンによりMacOSXでの利用が制限されるときが有ります。この場合は、BootcampかエミュレータでWinを起動してくださいね。

    今後Macも対応予定らしいですが、なかなか進んでいません。

    私のメモリは2Gですが、あまり不都合は感じませんよ。

    あとは、デザインで選ばれるなら、SONY VAIOかMacかは、もうお好みですのでごゆっくりお悩みくださいね。

    日本語でよければいつでも相談に乗りますヨ。('-^*)/
