A computer owned by 1 out of every 1000 computer users. Made to look "pretty" by design, but really has no functionality other than graphic & video editing equipment. Cannot run much of anything, especially no decent games or software.
"Before you give me any further computer instruction, please take note that I have a Macintosh, so in essence, I can probably do nothing you intend on telling me to do."

You paid $3000 for a Macintosh? I built a PC for $800 that can kick its ass and it STILL looks better.

Computers for people who do not understand computing.
An expensive brand of computers with proprietary hardware and software, which is incompatible with almost everything that is not made by Apple.
Apple's marketing relies heavily on claiming superiority over non Apple computers.

A macintosh is not the Ferrari of the computer world, it is the lamborghini.
Sure its pretty and stupidly expensive, but it can't perform at the track like a real performance car (computer).

to answer someone else's question about my pc...
-does your windows laptop/desktop have a built in camera above the screen for video chatting and taking pictures and videos with ur friends like a photo booth?
not built in, but i had 10 dollars for one... which is better than a thousand dollars for an apple..
-does your windows laptop/desktop come with a remote control so you can play music, movies, pictures and more from across the room?
yes
-does your windows laptop have a backlit keyboard?
no, but i tend to worry more about my computer actuaually working than how it looks...
-does your windows computer look anywhere near as hottt as apple's designs?
yes. you can CUSTOMIZE PCs, change things around, put it in new cases... it looks much better than a mac
-can you download and open EVERY email and file without worrying even a little bit about getting a virus? there are 8 known mac viruses, and over 20, 000 windows ones! yes- that's a real fact.
i have virus scanners, so yes, i can
-and let me also ask why all the people who are computer geniuses and web programmers and scientists and musicians and artists all use macs?
i know many people who probably know a shitload more about computers than you do and they wouldn't even want to touch a mac.
-can you type anything in a convenient search bar and your computer automatically searches inside all your documents, files, your music, your pictures, every single piece of information on your computer for items matching that search?
yes, its built right into windows. has been sine windows 98.
-can you click on the application dashboard and have all your widgets pop onto the screen (one for the weather forecast, one that uses your camera to provide you with a mirror, dictionary, calculator, calendar, and a family guy quote, and anything else you can possibly think of) and then with one click have it all disappear again?
desktopX.
-can you press one key and have all the windows you have open appear miniturized on your screen so you can pick the one you want quickly and easily?
yes

macintosh users think there computers are so great because they have moronic quirks built into them to hide the fact that the operating system that they're using sucks. i could achieve everything that a mac can do on a windows pc that will actually get stuff done with about 3 or 4 thrid party programs.
and yes, i've used macs before and seen them crash. a lot.
