a type of computer made by apple. macintosh generally refers to the old apples from the 80s, which were good, and the apples from the 90s, which were horrible. however, ever since Steve Jobs returned, macs became a lot better. they are probable superior to PCs in every way, except for maybe gaming, but u can always use boot camp for that. also, you can right click. most graphic artists, musicians, and cool people use them. like all computers they do crash, but less often than windows.

A type of computer revered for it's all in one design but also cursed by this to people who want to upgrade components instead of just getting a new computer which would be faster in the long run. Many claim that the macintosh is lacking in hardware aspects, though one would hardly know the difference. Mac OS X is the ruler of all the operating systems, but is often complained about due to its lack of a mind boggling amount of applications. One should not that the macintosh has more completed feeling apps than the less completed feeling but still numerous Windows apps. Macs happen to have a game deficiency and thus are hated by many people who don't understand the concept of boot camp and Windows on a Mac. Once one switches to the Mac from the PC, almost none of them will ever switch back because they now see the truth.

A family of desktop and laptop computers from Apple, introduced in 1984. It was the first computer to popularize the graphical user interface (GUI). The combination of Mac hardware and software has been exceptionally consistent over the years, providing an ease of use that Mac users have enjoyed. With a Windows emulator such as Virtual PC, Macs can also run Windows and DOS applications.

A computer some people seem to think sucks and is "overpriced" when building a PC with the specifications of a Mac Pro is EXACTLY the same price! Actually a little less! It is because they don't understand because of it's previous failures from OS9 to Panther. But now it is known as the most advanced operating system in the world due to it's ability to surpass almost any PC on the market in benchmarks. That TAKES SKILL M$ you can't even make an OS capable of running well on your own platform! Reasons any Mac hater is wrong:
1. Macs are no where near overpriced, go build a computer with equal specs and make sure you don't skimp on the quality of your parts you will see the Mac Pro is under-priced! FB-DIMMS are expensive as are 2 friggin Xeons!! THAT'S 8 CORES so don't complain ONLY 2 GIGS!!?!? FOR $2799!!!??! you want overpriced? Go see how fucking expensive Windows 7 is going to be and how many versions there are going to be with almost nothing added between 100s of dollars.
2. It can edit videos, pictures, and audio better than any PC on the market can hence almost everything you do related to media was done on a Mac those retarded "I'm a PC" ads DONE ON A MAC!! FAILURE M$
3. They run fast for life because they don't open every goddamn application at once upon start-up and there are almost no viruses out there for them.
4. They can run every OS on the planet efficiently and sexily.
5. The one thing I will admit is they suck for gaming...but that is all they suck at....

A very stable, UNIX based computer that "PC Users" feel they have to hate. Any PC user should thank Apple because without Apple you would 1) Have no mouse. 2) Have no graphical user interface (GUI). 3) No Windows "Vista," because the OS is basically a copy of many of the features that Mac users have had for years.

Seriously guys, DaimlerBenz invented the automobile, Starbucks re-invented coffee as we know it, and Apple invented the personal computer. The first is always the best at everything.

A computer sold by Apple. Sometimes shortened to mac. Use the Mac OSX operating system. Macintoshes are used by mostly students, designers, artists, and similar professions. Beaten down by PC (Windows) audience for not being good for gaming. That's why they aren't designed for gaming. Otherwise Macs perform as well as computers with the same specifcations as them.
