apple products are for people who like paying for status symbols

check the firewall, i usually turn that off because it dosent let HoN to download/log in.
If you got the little snitch firewall.

it is, if you're not planning on playing any computer-games with 3d-graphics :/ I used to own one and it overheated after 2 games and lagged like shit... then again I didn't purchase it to play games on it so I didn't care too much tbh

obviously an opinion from someone who never needed the things that only macs can do well.

which is..? (and note, I'm not a mac hater... a macbook pro is a comp I could easily live with everyday and would be glad to own, but there's nothing unique about them than the unibody chassi)

digital music, video, and photo editing software that is unmatched on other OS's compared to how they run native on mac OS

OS X

Minimum:

RAM - 1.5GB of RAM
Video Card - 128MB fully OpenGL 2.0 / GLSL 1.20 compliant Geforce or Radeon
OS - OS X 10.4 or newer
Network Connection Required

Recommended:
Processor - 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo or faster
RAM - 3.0GB or higher
Video Card - 256MB Geforce 7800+ or Radeon X1900+
Network Connection Required (Broadband)

Supported video cards:

OS X 10.5: Geforce 7300, Quardo FX 4500, Radeon X1600 or higher
Note: Integrated Intel GMA 950/X3100 is not supported


Do you possibly not fall in the specs above?

wrong, why would it be better? it's at best the same

So much Mac hate.

OSX is honestly significantly better than Windows, in terms of performance, security, and just about every other measurable OS benchmark.

The biggest problem isn't the OS itself, it's the developers. Most developers aren't coding their games with OpenGL rendering, and some are using some Windows based security system (like most Korean mmos do).


Yes, you pay a premium for the name, but the way I view it is that it's the *nix that *nix wishes it could be.


I honestly don't understand why it's always this Mac vs PC thing, when it is actually PC vs all.
Every other non-windows based OS runs into the same lack of game support (due to the lack of DirectX support).

ROFL

this might have been true in 2003, but it's not true anymore, pcs and macs use the same hardware, so the performance is pretty much the same

windows machines are faster though since they have more tweaking options
