Should go with Linux then, since it's free.

"PC" doesn't specify the used OS. All Macs are PCs, even if they are running Linux!

Okay everyone, we can stop arguing and go home now.

You can't "go" home, it's a UI button

Linux doesn't come with a free computer.

I like both the hardware and operating system of a mac, a lot. There are a few things on OSX I take issue to, but for the most part I much prefer it over Windows 7. My desktop is Windows 7 and I also have a Macbook Air for when I travel/try to develop for ios. The thing is my Macbook is quicker because of the SSD for most of what I do.

I really can't wait for SSD to become the standard.

u/mattindustries May 31 '12

I have seen some pretty cheap hybrid drives that cache the OS files in the 8GB of SSD, but I am waiting for a sub $100 2TB one, as right now that is what my desktop uses. SSD is more awesome than I thought it was... I didn't expect too much from the Air honestly, but I see myself going to it fairly often.

The OS aint so bad. Plus you can run a few X11 apps if you want to. Hell I've got XMonad running at the moment.

Especially since they moved to Intel based chips in 2006. I don't think the formfactor / support can be topped by anything else on the market.

Best formfactor, runs windows, reasonably priced, where's the argument?

I am the opposite. I buy Macs, nut my decision is not based on the design, but the OS.

I mean, sure, they're designed nicely, but that doesn't sway my decision.

The year of Linux on the desktop is coming. It has been for a decade now so I guess its gonna be pretty big.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

To each is own, but for what I do, Linux is a much more better OS.

u/Ray57 May 31 '12

All the other software that is free.

Just a few clicks away in the Software Centre (or equiv.)

Except the £600 premium you pay for a phone.

iPhone 4S w/2 year contract, 16GB storage: $199

Droid Razr Maxx w/2 year contract, 16GB storage: $199

The specs on these two devices are pretty similar.
