hi, i am thinking about getting a new laptop and i am stuck between vista and mac i only have about 600-700 pounds to spend baring in mined that i will be using it for internet and gaming mostly. can anyone help me
Answer
First - you can't find an Apple really at that price. I mean, a low end MacBook - maybe?
Second - it depends.
You have to decide what YOU want best.
Leopard and Vista both have bugs that both companies need to work out - I have used both. Leopard caused me more problems at start - tried it when it came out. I chose to go with Vista when SP1 came out because that's usually when MS starts getting the really bad things done.
Anyhow... some Pros and Cons
Mac - If you aren't really computer-savvy Macs are great. Their interface is designed to be pretty simple and stuff. They have some neat little graphical features but so does Vista now. In terms of design - the differences aren't enough to scream about.
Some of the programs offered with Mac people swear by - iPhoto, and that kind of stuff. But Windows has an equivalent for everything.
Vista - It is still a great interface and now kind of similar to Mac (I won't lie they got some influence from Mac) and in my opinion is easier to control stuff. I like being able to scan my computer and defragment my hard drive to create more room. If you know what this is - you probably want Vista.
Don't be fooled by the "Windows gets viruses and Macs don't." While it is unlikely that a Mac will get a virus - they DO get them and it is happened more often. A friend of ours got a Trojan that prevented him from doing ANYTHING on the internet (auto sent him to a different site) and because he didn't have a virus scanner or anything like that he had to completely wipe the hard drive. I like that Windows has stuff available for me to prevent that - while Mac just says they don't get viruses and tries to avoid a problem that is biting at their tails.
The other things is A LOT of programs do not run on Macintosh - meaning games, 3D modeling stuff - and what not. What you should do is check the applications you want to run and make sure they are available on the operating system you want.
People are die hard Windows and die hard Mac fans - there is a lot of animosity between the two communities out there. Don't judge on people's angry views - I mean I can be a bit angry.
Mac and Vista both have their ups and downs. Mostly these factors should help you decide:
-What programs you want to run and if they are available on the OS you choose?
-What design you like better? If you are used to XP, Leopard will be a big jump for you.
-What does the computer you are looking at run? What computer is in your price range? A Mac might not be best because you can get faster/bigger HD in a laptop running Vista. This is really up to you.
Don't judge on the stupid Mac commericials or the pointless Microsoft commercials (I hate both of them.) Just go with what you like the best.
By the way - games on Mac don't come out very often. Usually a year or more after the PC version.
If you wanna play Warhammer Online like I did - get a Vista laptop.
