Mac is also a good OS, but my least favorite. I personally own an iPhone and im typing this post on it right now. I see most superficial people say "macs are for losers and I'm better for not using it" and I say fuck you to them. Mac is amazing for your basic every day user. It's straightforward, quick, generally easy to learn, nice looking, and generally virus free. Generally. Recently there's been a large development in the abuse of Macs security problems. Also, they're expensive as shit. And limited as fucked.
I kind of agree however Macs are the kings of Media production and Design. They just own the market for professional software like Final Cut and Adobe programs
And considering Media Production is what i want to do - Make films and Animation, im perfectly content with my Mac

Here is the thing with Macs. They all fun and great with editing and what not until you really need to do something. I mean. Im sorry I know of very few macs that can support 7 graphics cards running together to do heavy editing. Macs tend to run better on the basic editing but when it comes to getting the max horsepower needed for certain things no one will be using a Mac.

Oh, I forgot to mention that in the downside of apple, proprietary. You can't upgrade macs or anything like that. It sucks. Like I said though, your average user doesn't need that kind of hardware. It's perfect for your typical computer savy person.

So you want an OS with the design of a consoles homepage which can still use everyday programs.
Will it be able to run .exe? Thats the only bad thing about mac


I run .exe on my mac using wineskin wrappers. More question is can windows run mac applications?

There is no debate between a desktop and a laptop, laptops are mainly for business purposes and desktops are for home use. Mac vs. Windows? Apple products are the most overpriced pieces of shit I have ever seen in my whole life (other then Jordans which cost $1 to make and sell for $200 -_-). With $1,200 would you rather buy a nice slim white macbook air or buy and extreme beast like Alienware or even custom make your own PC for even less.
You hvae jsut been mwbdoilnn. Hvae a good day and tlel yuor fnidres!
