my computer runs 26 apps simultaneously with no slowdown, and I payed 600 bucks for it. total.

and I don't have to fish around for compatible programs and games.

I've burned CDs, played Battlefield, and had winamp going in the background many times.

if school PCs aren't built for speed, why do they run so much faster than the macs, even though they are the same clock speed and ram?

and it's not just school macs, ALL of the macs I've used are just annoying when it comes to doing regular stuff in a short amount of time.

the only thing Macs are good for is a grandma who wants a user-friendly, stable, piece of hardware. and for GAIT and Graphic Design majors. hell, I'm using a Mac right now. it's not too bad of a piece of hardware. but when I click on photoshop, I have to wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and if I want to rapid-click and navigate through the MacOS, I am pretty much ostracized from the OS itself. I have to slow down and let it do it's thing.

I'll take my lightning fast, just as stable, 300% cheaper PC anyday.
