Its Apples simplicity and UI which makes people fall for them



Apple UI is what makes me never want to use it, ;p
and i don't think there is much simplicity to it, just more restrictions

You don't know what you're talking about. Sure they're gonna seem foreign for someone who's used to windows and just using a friend's mac but when you buy one and use it for maybe a couple days you realize how much easier they are.

The things that i like about my macbook pro is that it doesn't slow down on me at all or doesn't take a million hours to process something like clicking on the internet button and then finally popping up. I got my mac for school and i have thoroughly enjoyed it. Also if you are a gamer on the pc you can also get programs that have it run with dual compatibility (vmware fusion or virtual box) that you can run windows on it also. My parents started to use my computer when i came home over breaks because it actually worked over their pc, so when they said enough was enough they bought the new imac, which is a sexy, sleek, and powerful machine imo. So far in the past 6 months or so that they have had it, they havent had any problems. O ya, and a word of advice, if your hands are wet, dont type on the keypad because you can fry the keyboard part of your macbook, luckily i had apple care and didnt have to pay for it!

I totally agree with this, I have been a PC fanboy for years and it took me a little while to get used to all of the functions and differences between the macbook and the pc laptop I was using, but after a week of messing around with it, me and my wife love it and I don't think we will be going back to PC anytime soon. :)

Next stop is getting an iMac, but no time soon, lol

Win and agreed. I'm not rich like you guys!!! :p



Give me a break. It has nothing to do with being rich. Believe me, I'm not rich.
When you have to spend another 600-700 bucks on a new PC after two years, I'll still be operating on the same MacBook.
