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

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
