Laptop or Mac?
which do you prefer? I am actually writing a comparison hub on it right now and am wondering about other people's opinions.
a mac is a laptop. you mean PC or Mac. If you have money get a Mac. If you don't just get a PC and if you don't like windows get Ubuntu for free. Windows 7 is pretty solid and is more open source.

PC for sure!
Then again, it depends what you want to use the computer for, typically, if you are a student, a Mac might suit you for school use - but for anything aside school use - Windows will definitely be better.
If you're a Gamer - PC
If you're a Programmer - PC
If you're a writer - Depends, either.
If you're a student - Mac
Macs are more expensive, less powerful, incompatible, unreliable, misleadingly 'fast' (the truth is that Apple chips are slower than pentiums!), bulky with a 7GB OS, hardware customization will void the warranty, and you'll find yourself in Apple support more often than usual.
Well, thats just my opinion, as I have experience with both operating systems, I have to say - I loathe Mac, and Apple. Windows 7 is by far the best operating system money can buy.
i alway use laptop/pc (never tried mac thought too expensive)
I personally don't like Mac. I'm assuming you meant to ask PC or Mac? As I said, personally I like PC's, but I know a lot of people who like Mac, so I'm not sure that I'm really contributing to the question at all, but.. Yeah.
A Mac of course!
A PC is a computer, a mac is a miracle!
That is my oppinion, but the main reasons to choose a mac is stability, design and the simple software that anyone can fix. Photo and film editing is great on a mac.
The compatibility isnĀ“t a problem any longer either unless you use the comuter mainly for gaming.
Then it is better to buy a PC!
My PC works fine but.... the Apple store is hot! I'm tempted every time....one of these days I'm buying a Mac
In 26 years of being a graphic designer, I've worked on both PCs and Macs. Macs are definitely the way to go.
I now have a 13" Mac Book Pro and I'll give it up when someone pries my cold, dead fingers from around it.
I have had my mac for 3 years and i love it. Sucks they are expensive

Should I buy a mac rather than a pc laptop, even though a mac is more expensive?I need a new computer. My boyfriend keeps telling me that Apple computers are far more reliable, faster and better than any PC, but they are a couple of hundred pounds more expensive. Is it worth it?

PC or a Mac?Macs are gaining momentum lately. I've always been a PC guy, but I'm not necessarily biased towards one or the other. It would be nice to know what everything thinks, and you enjoy using your respective computer.
