Would a Mac be good for college?


Question Posted Saturday May 31 2008, 2:00 pm

I'm about to buy a computer for college next year, but I'm unsure of what to get. I really want to get a mac because I'm into music and it would be so much easier to record with that. However, I've heard of a lot of people having problems with them, as well as a lot of people loving them. I feel like you have a chance of that happening with any computer though. I just have had people trying to talk me out of getting a mac so I'm getting nervous about it. Does anyone have any advice/experience?

Well, actually i'll tell you some facts:

1. New Pc have lower price than New mac with similar hardware performance (currently mac using Intel core 2 duo processor made by intel for the PC platforms) You see??? Mac already loose to PC

2. Mac is just for kids looks Very glossy - very chic & with eye candy Graphic user interference (GUI) but now, there's Windows Vista available for PC that is quite similar with Mac's Tiger OS (only the GUI of course)while the design may vary by the brands.

3. Mac's spare parts cost you alot when you have to upgrade new hardware (better to buy a new one than upgrade it!)

4. The freedom of upgrading is only possible & applicable on old PC while the old Mac goes to the rubbish bin.

5. Pc is highly supported from any software developers from around the globe! you can enjoy many legal and illegal software for PC with enormous numbers worldwide that makes the software itself is cheaper! Adobe photoshop for Pc (Windos, linux) is approx $500 t0 $600 while for mac (Tiger OS) $600 to ???

6. PC had so many models and brands even you can assembly the parts by yourself to finds the right ware for either general or specific purpose. MAC??? just have ya... same old boring design with the one owned by other and the older version.

Macs may have better music software already on it, but you can easily get software that is equally good or better for Windows.
