DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So I bought one of these beauties in the week, and gotta say, i'm loving it. Still trying to get used to everything and find my way around. Who else has one, or any mac? And if you don't, what d'ya think of mac's and Apple in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Good choice I haven't touched a Windows OS in years, don't think i'll ever go back. Can't wait for Lion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Lion sounds pretty amazing to be honest. And I SHOULD get it free, cos of the 60-day window thing. Rumoured to be this coming Wednesday, launch, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc-meleady 192 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Got one myself a few months ago, never going to buy a windows again. Absolutely love it, runs so smooth with everything i need, no jumps in any of the dj or producing software and the screen res is just amazing. Best buy I have ever made.

And everytime I played with it, I loved it. I love the style of Apple and all that, and I wanted to try something new. Been something I've wanted for a little while now, and the job I have at the mo allows me to save alot of my wages. So I just went for it while I could. Really glad I did.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Just bought a Macbook Pro on eBay for $900 (560 pounds/620 euro). It's the mid-2010 model, but that doesn't bother me. It's in pristine condition. Very excited for it. What accessories do you guys recommend for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Welcome to the club mate. You'll love it.I was thinking of buying the magic mouse, just 'cos its SO cool.I was looking at that, too. It has a surprising amount of negative reviews...This weekend has been good to me. Parents surprised me with the news that we're going to a car dealership today. Need to get a car before I start Uni.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Looks Smart that Thing. But im not a Fan of Mac Books cus they are not compatible with most of the applications out there I beleive. Like Sopcast, TVU and others which we use to stream the games. Also, in terms of gaming it is not as good as some of ther other laptops. Also, I got an iphone and iam happy with that.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 There is just nothing that you can do on a MAC that you can not do on a PC. That's why I fail to understand why I should pay at least twice as much for a MAC, as I would for a PC with literaly the same components.PC > MacMP3 > IPodBlackberry > IphoneImo.

I know a few graphics artists and music producers who really feel a difference in Mac compared to a PC. That's what they were designed for originally and that's why they'd pay more.However for general use there's nothing wrong with a PC. Hell put a Linux on a PC and it'll feel like a Mac too.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Blackberry > IphoneImo.Blackberry over the iphone? Are you kidding me? Take away BBM from Blackberrys and what makes them special? Crap apps, ugly OS, average camera, not HD. Nothing sets BB's aside from smart phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing sets BB's aside from smart phones.Qwerty keyboard > touchscreenThis is exactly why Blackberry's primary target market is the young business professional, great for emails. 0S 6 is also good, and if you want a decent camera you can always get a bold 9780 for a 5 MP.
