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


Wildly inaccurate.

why?

It's the samd ram-memory
same hard-drives

The hardware is all the same, yes, but the way it's used is different.

People often undervalue the OS. A good example of my point is this one: If I make my own OS, even with the same hardware, there's no way it would run as well as an OS developed by an entire team of professional OS developers.
The actual performance you get from OSX, the actual OS itself, is why it's so good.

There are tons of benchmarks online, and comparisons of the OSes with different hardware.

The biggest issue I have with Apple is their pricing. You have to pay a premium because they don't OEM.
But, what you pay extra for is quality. Their software (for the most part) is quality, their drivers are quality, the entire package is quality; in a MBP, for example, each piece of hardware is fine-tuned to be as efficient/synergetic as it can with the other specific pieces of hardware.

It's just a different ideology:
In Macland, everything is specific, for maximum performance (but little optimization). In Windowsland (and I guess if you count shitty 3rd party drivers, linux as well), nothing is specific; so, while you lose efficiency, you gain customization of your build.

A lot of people disagree with this, but it is honestly how computers should be. (For maximum efficiency)

Do your own research.

I am not here to have a "PC vs OSX" derping contest.

I am just trying to state that there do exist OSes outside of Windows, and a lot of them have their niche.

Windows still wins in raw performance even with the same hardware.
The reasons why I would buy a macbook again would be:
Solid chassi with awesome build quality
The __awesome__ touchpad
the design
the good screen

Reasons why I wouldn't want to buy:
poor performance - if I wanna be able to run games and shizzle, I'll have to cough up a shitload of money to even get remotely close to the performance of an equivalently priced windows-PC
Shitty warranties, either only just 1 year for very premium products - jew bastards =( or you have to yet again, cough up a shitload of money just to have your computer under a 2-3 year warranty.
compatability issues
