That could be the case but maybe it has something to do with the glass Apple use as opposed to plastic that I see on a lot of non Apple laptops that makes it look better, I dunno just a guess.

Also might add that I know jack shit about computers all I use them for is net, music and downloading shit, it's very possible I was doing it wrong on pc's. Mac's seem more user friendly for people like me who don't do a lot of technical stuff from my POV.

The 'plastic' is an anti-glare layer, otherwise the screens are the same. You can actually remove the anti-glare if you know what you are doing and surprise surprise they look the same underneath.

If you want to be a display snob at least make it something good like an eizo.

It's glass.

And why in the world would anyone want to remove something that makes it better?

Call me a display snob if you like I think in this day and age things should look good and at a decent price.

You're a special kid aren't you?

It's the other screens that have the anti-glare.

I said I have a mbp and that was the screen I liked that I said has a glass on it.

You called it plastic, you were wrong.

Why the special kid comment is that your piss weak effort at insulting me? Save the insults for your dad.

LOL ^

disclaimer: I work in IT and unfortunately we are forced to run about 50 macs for art phags because they are "industry standard". hopefully with changing times ahead this might be reduced.

where do I start with Macs, aka baby's first computer, aka pcs for iDiots.

To start with they are designed with form over function; the last Sandy Bridge was hitting 98 degrees due to lack of ventilation LOL. I've also had 4 2009 imacs die lately from overheating, pretty much at random, requiring a GFX card replacement. GREAT build quality there. Neither Imacs nor Macbook Pros have adequate cooling, and the all in one form factor is a compromise at best, headf**k at worst.

The keyboards and mice are beyond bad, seriously are they developed for people with no coordination or ergonomics at all?

Shiny screens are seriously the stupidest thing ever, glare like a bitch and get noticeably dirty extremely easily.

I also do LOVE the irony of $3k laptops that come with 5400rpm HDDs, and $3k iMacs with regular HDDs too. Probably because their target market is the too lazy or too stupid to make an informed purchasing decision (in addition to brand whores and pretentious dickheads).

OSX is the biggest POS excuse for an operating system I have ever used. Those who tritely claim it never crashes are full of it. At least it's fairly straightforward to get data about what actually broke / recover the session on a pc unlike the endlessly spinning beach ball. Their management features have actually been going backwards in each successive version of OSX (which in itself is being steadily iOSified). The OS is inherently less secure than Windows (I LOVE it when people try to say "oh but macs dont get viruses"; thats because they've never had the market share for anyone to bother ffs), but at least Windows 7 these days is kept up to date with security patches, and Microsoft actually tell people when a vulnerability is found.

The main Adobe apps that most Mac users want / use run the exact same on a PC. Fair enough if you use Final Cut Pro, but even that's been dumbed down; the new industry standard, Premiere, is cross platform!

I have yet to have a mac user give me a legitimate reason as to why they are a) worth the ridiculous price and b) perform any better or as good as a pc of the same value. I do tend to find that they are the utterly pretentious "hipster" types who find it arty to print out year old memes that they have found on Tumblr and are also twitter users.

I also hate the non upgradability and the way Apple tries to lock you into their ecosystem. That said I do own an Iphone that never gets connected to the POS Itunes.

i laughed so hard when i recently saw a story about 2 mac viruses infecting a few hundred thousand macs only a few days/weeks apart

bozodos for topic winner :yes:

+11ty

Pretty much sums up my hatred of all things Apple.

Don't get me started on the failure rate of iPhones either.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
