I wish my girlfriend was a maicie

Get the Maicie mug.Most people have already covered the definition of a Macintosh pretty well, but I'd like to add a little.
If you've read other definitions, you'd see that everyone says macs are useless unless you're a graphic designer or film editor. MAYBE that is the industry standard to some degree, but I've been a graphic designer for long enough to disagree that macs are best for my profession. They do get the job done, and well enough at that, but I'd much prefer using a PC for the following reasons:
1) The hardware of PCs is far more customizable. Not only that, but you can put MUCH better parts in a PC for cheaper, and if you want to upgrade at some point down the road, you can do so for much cheaper.
2) Taking into consideration what I said in number one, I can do things faster on a PC. Naturally, with better parts, your computer speed WILL be faster.
3) Versatility. If I need to do more than just a design, I don't have to jump over to a PC to do it. You can just do it all on the same computer.
All of this being said, I am not a "stupid mac-hater" or anything like that. In fact, I've used macs for designing just as much as PCs probably. But, because of the superiority of a PC, the only reason I'll ever own a mac is so that when I'm dealing with customers or fellow designers I can use mac fonts for those who don't know how to save properly.
I'd also like to add this: sure, macintosh puts out attractive products, but because of the flexibility of the hardware you can buy for a PC, you can have a product that is MORE attractive and actually fits your own personality, rather than the personality of Apple Computers.

Get the MacIntel mug.Term used to describe a computer made from inferior hardware jammed into a shiny case and made by Apple. It is often used by people who either are too stupid to figure out installing antivirus software or think that they are "sophisticated" by using a computer built by a bunch of fags in California.
Man I feel like an idiot for buying a Macintrash! I could have bought a computer with better specs for half the price, but I'm a sucker for getting anally poned by Apple
