WebBangkok Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Buy a Mac!!! Mac's are overpriced and anything stuffs up on it you got to send it away from while. Something stuffs up on a PC, you walk down the street and buy the new part. Anyway, I have had this discussion 10000 times, especially when my friend has a Mac and he keeps telling me how great (sheet) it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I have had this discussion 10000 times, especially when my friend has a Mac and he keeps telling me how great (sheet) it is. only if you know which bit to buy. ( Macs tend not to go wrong and no viruses) Well, with 'IFs' we can argue anything. IF you have a very basic understanding of good practices while using a computer you can safely use a PC with no problems. I have a 3 year-old laptop, that first came with XP. I installed Win7 more than a year ago and have yet to experience a crash or a reboot for something else than installing updates. One of the big risks taken by Mac users right now is that they assume they are 100% safe... While safety is better than on PC, it is not absolute, and false impression some users have that nothing can happen to them makes them pretty vulnerable to malware. See the recent attacks (I think the malware name was MacDefender or something like that). In summary: don't listen to cliches while looking for a computer. Take time to weigh pros and cons, even better: give it a try. Some love Mac interface, some really feel uncomfortable with it... same for PC. It is a personal choice. There's no "best".

( Leopard/ Lion etc) and they don't get viruses , unlike the majority of people who run windows on PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Ok, let's not turn this into a Mac versus PC topic. I have just ordered parts for a major upgrade for my PC and will post the specs later. Photos may be included of the construction. I've never bought a prebuilt PC except for a netbook as I prefer to select my own components and build it myself.

No problem, I was trying to joke with my first comment! But seriously, if you don't know much about the insides of a computer and it goes wrong, it's likely you will have to take it into a shop anyway. A friend of mine, who edits video, has been having problems for months which he can't sort out ( firewire connection/ blue screen etc) and he seems to know a bit about what he is doing.

Nawak Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I have an iMac 2,8 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 24", 4GB RAM, 320 GB HD nearly 3 years old. And unlike some people say, I have to replace the hard disk the first year and it took only 2 days at Apple Mac Zone in Chiang Mai. Never had the slightest problem since. I have also a Mac Book Pro 13", 2,26 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD more than 2 years old, never had any problem. Never got a single virus and I don't know what is a crash. The iMac is running 24/7 and the CPU is usually around 47° C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Macs tend not to go wrong and no viruses) That's unfortunately not true. As a matter of fact, the highest number of new vulnerabilities are found in Apple software. Higher than Microsoft.

Gary A Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My desktop is a no name that Somchai upgraded in his little local shop. It has run great for the past two years. It is a dual core Intel with a cheap Asus mainboard and three gig of RAM. The upgrade cost me a total of 8,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
