Macintosh
Starting in 1984 with Apple's Macintosh 128k, the Macintosh computers from Apple are very successful. Many things were changed, however; the CPU was from Motorola's 680xx to IBM's PowerPC to the now current Intel. The Macintoshes use a proprietary OS called Mac OS, which cannot be installed onto a regular computer due to Apple restricting it.

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.

Macintosh
A brand of computers made by apple inc. People tend to buy these pieces of shit because 1. they are retarded at using a computer. 2. Since they are retarded, they have never heard of FREEWARE, so they think that graphic editing is exclusive for mac. 3. They can't take care of a computer worth a flying fuck (open the case and see how much dust has built up), so they blame simple PEBKAC on moronic claims. Now that they have one, they try (and fail miserably) at defending themselves for their own stupidity. They say that mac is innovative (a word they probably don't even know) and try to sound like they know stuff about computers. An easy way to spot this is to ask if nVidia cards work on macs. Because of their lack of computer skills and poor choice of pc, they bash windows and linux users and fail because most people take care of their computer, thereby leading to less problems. They try to claim that macs are the best yet, both windows and linux based pcs' are: faster, more reliable, have assloads of apps, lower prices, are easily upgradeable (and yeah update and upgrade are different so stfu you ignorant POS) and they do believe it or not just work like macs do. Oh and the facts on the mac page at apple are wrong. Considering that fact that 802.11n has been in draft for quite a while and my computer has astonishing speed too. Have you heard of SATA2 which is a high speed hard drive connection?
Seriously, if you're too retarded to use windows or linux, then computers aren't for you.

Person 1: why did you buy a Macintosh?
Person 2: they don't have viruses-
1: neither does linux.
2: whats linux?
