PC's are for geeks and Macs are for Cool people ?

ive never really noticed before but all my mates that own MACS and iPhones are really trendy and cool, which great cloths and lots of women.

where as most of my PC owning friends are all pretty geeky looking. Video game tshirts, body odour, long hair, beards, no chance of a girlfriend

is this something you guys have notice too ?

No, and I own both apple products and a gaming PC, so what does that make me?

i think its called bi-curious

Im sure that it has fuck all to do with what computers they have.

I prefer nerd brah.

I'm a cool geek, then

Rubbish.

I reported this because I think you might be an idiot.

I approve of this message.

Proud nerd myself in those terms too :p

Macs are for people who want to do specific things, usually not too tech or game related.

PCs are for people who want to do a wide variety of things, especially tech or game related.

Any cool/uncool breakdown of those two MASSIVE groups is your own.

In your case, half of your friends are bellends and half are smelly.

The kind of people who advertise they own Macs are the kind who only have Macs to seem cool.

Anyway, Linux is totally the OS for nerds.

I was going to say that!

I have a Macbook and a Desktop.

PC is are for geeks?

Wasn't there a time long ago when Windows was the easy-to-use cool system and Macs needed brains? I think there was.

I don't think that's true. Macs have always been simple, and for the tech-handicapped windows has required you to think.

Mac users are the scourge of the planet.

I'm a Mac user. I'm a geek too.

It's also important to note that nearly all of the tech-illiterate I've met are Windows users, mainly because they don't know any alternatives exist. I know that a lot of these people judge a computers speed and power based around what version of Windows it comes with. I remember my grandma telling me that she has one of the fastest computers because it's a "Windows 7 Ultimate Pentium model." lol old people.

You sure do seem judgemental for a troll on a videogame website.

Don't feed the troll.

Seconded. You haven't met a nerd unless you know a computer programmer. You'd be surprised how much they fit the flannel-shirt-glasses-no-social-life stereotype.

I am a professional computer programmer. I own a Macbook and a Windows gaming PC. I do not have Linux installed on anything and I do not own any flannel shirts. You nailed the glasses part though.

Macs are hardly simple, really if you strip down to the basics of needing to web browse a Mac doesn't make anything more simple than Windows, and that's all casual folk do with their computers.

Anyway the Apple products I have owned was because I thought they were the best at the time. I switched over from iPhone once Android got to 2.3 (and is I think, a better OS to use) and at home I use Windows on my PC and my laptop is a MacBook Air. I think Apple make the best laptops right now, the OS is perfect for touchpad gestures and nobody has made a touchpad anywhere near as good as the glass ones on MacBooks. Laptop manufacturers need to step it up, I'm so tired of non-Apple laptops having awful touchpads. (which really is sickeningly common)

I'm going to go with money. Yeah, definitely money.

A lot of Mac users seem to care about image, at least at my university it seems that every law or economics (here considered to be the "posh" majors) student has a Macbook whereas the sciences dudes have regular ass laptops from Asus or whatever. (I have an Air, 'cus it's the best.)

Apple products are for hipsters/cool kids/stupid rich kids.

Do as Jimmy Saville would do and then we're talking.

Its true if you don't have a Mac you're not creative (yes I stole that joke but I use a PC)

I have no intention of writing a screenplay anytime soon, nor do I own any turtlenecks so Macs seem pointless to me.

nope, macs and windows are for everyone. i've seen different people who use macs.

Ba-dum-tsshhh

No. This topic is pointless and you're a stupid troll.

Sorry, this is a troll thread right? The number of things that are pretty obviously faulty with every premise in OP is alarming.

Linux is for geeks.

Windows is for people who are more computer-savvy but otherwise normal.

Macs are for people who have far too much money to burn on an easy-to-use, hands-off machine and are too lazy/incompetent to learn how to use a PC themselves. Or they belong to the very exclusive group of people who actually need a Mac, read as graphic designers/media specialists.

Well yeah Apple is the popular trendy computers to get. They're stylish, expensive and sleek. They're like the Mercedes of the computer world.

But I use both. I like Apple computers for lifestyle stuff, music, movies, e-mail, websurfing etc, then use my PC as a desktop workstation. After they went a fucked up Final Cut Pro, I switched to Premiere Pro, and since my PC is the most powerful thing I have, I started using that to edit video, which boy, is a weird-ass transition. Never ever thought I'd be doing that.

I own both. Three PCs, and when it came time to replace my XPS13, I went with a 13" Macbook Pro. In my office, I use a Mac Pro and a HP desktop.

Portability and power were the two biggest issues for me. I needed a laptop that was no bigger or heavier than my XPS13. For my work needs, the Macbook's ability to snap in to a usable desktop the moment the lid is opened is a huge plus. I open the lid, log in, and I'm ready to work. If I need to do things in a Windows environment, I can open the lid, boot 7 in a virtual machine, and be up and running faster than it takes my XPS13 to come out of sleep mode. I can fire up Backtrack inside OSX.

And, as much as I hate to say it, the track pad is unlike any Windows based laptop.

That, and the biggest thing that sold me was the ability to remove the super drive and put in a second SSD.

The Macbook may have been more expensive, but it's been worth the price premium to me. It's not a $1k+ facebook machine, it's a portable work horse. And, once I upgrade in two years, I'll still be able to find some hipster who will pay a premium for a Facebook machine with a glowy apple logo; unlike my XPS13 which I had to dump on family members.

That's usually how it goes. People who like to look good and take care of themselves also like products that look good and are cutting edge. It's not your average PC user who is like that it's the PC gamer and this has been proven over and over again hell just go to the PC forums here and look for posts where people post pictures of themselves and you'll see what I mean. Even better read IGN's article of who not to play games with on thanksgiving and look at the PC gamer. Here is the link

Actually, from my experience the geeks use Linux, the normal people use PCs, and the tech illiterate/trendy people use Macs.

However, there are exceptions to the rule.

The word du jour is trendy. Having Mac is normally an effect of being both a avid consumer and trendy. And also generally with cash to spare.

Macs are for yuppies and people who are afraid of or too stupid to use a PC.

Thank god I'm aware that being trendy actually isn't cool, it's exactly the opposite.

I'll stick with my PC regardless of what the machine makes you believe is cool.

Damn sheep will buy into anything.

; )

Oh shit, I'm late for my flash mob...

I see a lot of moms in the kitchen, by your logic the kitchen is where the moms belong

We heard you like to troll so we put a troll in your thread so you can troll while you troll.
