I highly suggest you guys keep the replys on topic. Not about what OS is better. Before you get the thread locked.

I'm not hating on Mac and if I ever need a school computer I will get some form of macbook no contest. But I don't need Apple interfering with my gaming when they're inferior. Their hardware is decent but the point of a gaming computer is to have cutting-edge, top-of-the-line components, or at least as good as you can afford.

For $2200 I could have a Macbook Pro or a cutting-edge gaming rig with an Intel Extreme processor and a NVIDIA GTX 690 graphics card, plus 32 gigs of ram and other assorted epic components, possibly including Razer peripherals. It's no contest. I'd rather spend my 800 bucks on better components than a marginally better os.

Yeah, I think macs are better.

I, personally, prefer Mac. The reason is that the OS is a lot more reliable and more organized then Windows/Linux. When people say Windows is better for gaming, thats not necessarily true. Windows is simply the operating system, and has almost nothing to do with the hardware. The reason mac cost a lot is because they make there own hardware, and its good. Mac security is (said to be) a lot stronger then windows.

So, I prefer Mac > Windows.

What is also "not necessarily true" is Mac being more reliable, being more organized, or having better hardware than Windows or Linux.

Mac os generally performs better than Windows or Linux, and it's especially user-friendly and has great programs. As for the hardware, that's completely subjective. A macbook pro is better than 80% of windows computers, but those ones aren't built for gaming. The crux of the issue is that I could build a better and cheaper gaming computer than any mac, and the difference will be more than worth the os.

Nobody is saying that windows is better for gaming, we're saying that anything other than mac is better for gaming. You don't need a fancy OS and programs for a gaming computer if you can get a computer just as good minus the os and programs for $800-1000 less. It is true you'll never get a virus on a Mac, but I'd rather pay $60 a year for antivirus than pay $800-1000 more once, and have to replace my computer in 2 or 3 years because the hardware is out of date. Macs are sealed shut, you can't upgrade them. If you could put Mac OS on a computer you built yourself, then it would be the ultimate computer, but I'd rather have a self-built with Windows than a mac-built with OSX.

You normally do not have to replace the mac hardware, or at least not for me. I've had my mac for over 3 years. And I also believe macs run faster, I had this new PC that lagged so much, I couldn't play Minecraft on it.

I'm a serious gamer. If a new, better, graphics card comes out, I need to upgrade to it or risk being dominated. I realise this may not be true for everyone but that's not really my point.

Your PC probably wasn't built for gaming. My point is that I could build a better and cheaper computer than any Mac. I'm not saying they're not good, but they're not excellent, and they're overpriced.

They're okay, but I think they're a bit (WAY) too overpriced.

What is your budget? I might be able to find a build better than both of these.

Dude. A macbook may be user-friendly or whatever the fuck you want to call it (sorry for offensive language, i'm passionate on this issue) I totally agree that the OS and programs are way better than that of any other computer, however it's seriously overpriced. I built my own computer for about 500$ less than a macbook pro and all it's specs are about twice as good. Are the OS and programs on a mac worth 800-1000$? I don't know, but I'm certainly not paying that much for them, I don't need them on a gaming computer. On a school laptop? For sure, but Apple can get their corporate asses out of my gaming.

If there was a like button, and less swearing.....I'd make 30 different accounts just to like this Totally agree with you JoltFlame

Just yes.

O.K, even though I am an Apple Fanboy, I got to say most Apple products are NOT a gaming device. My computer is a MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010. Although it can run games better then most people, if I were to get some other computer (not Apple) for the same price, the new computer would be better for gaming.
