Im thinking about the new macbook pro retina. If anyone has it, can u tell me the pros and cons about it.

Get a PC dude.

I'm not normally one for making memes but I feel the overplayed idea of memes goes well with how old the outcome of this argument is.

I'll always be a PC, but if you want to support a company who sued another company 1 billion dollars for breaking patents as ridiculous as 'similar looking icons' and 'the design of a black phone', then go for it. These days many programs work well cross platform, such as the adobe suite allowing fantastic editing of video and photo on pc and mac, and popular games now running on pc and mac. If you're a big gamer, PC undoubtedly wins, and if you're a big big big editing professional, mac wins - but the middleground is nowadays covered by both. PCs are just cheaper, Macs have a prettier case.

Pros: it has a nice screen

Cons: it isn't a PC.

i have three macs now had no problem with any of them also have two pcs that i have a little trouble with

There is no difference between a mac and a PC except for the operative system and the design.

You can easily build a computer and install Mac OS (or whatever it's called) on it and it will be cheaper than an actual mac.

The internal parts in a mac are the same as in a PC, just more expensive.

Im guessing I should go with a macbooj then haha.
um Ill probbaly just be searchign the internet and editing so i want a fast computer with quite a bit of ram. Ill also e downloading alot of movies and songs. so... any suggestions ive ot abotu 2 grand

Just get a PC. do what Mikkel said.

I would get a PC personally but if you do end up getting a macbook don't get the new ones with retina because if they break they cannot be fixed unless you pay a large amount, they also have no disk drive and iirc they do not have a firewire port and the battery is impossible to get out.

Get a Dell laptop windows 7 .

once you go mac you dont ever go back. haha

ive not been on a pc for about 2 years, but they both do the same job im just surrounded by macs at college,work,uni,home etc so i use them for genuine reasons other them 'looking cool"

ive had no problems with them and really dont see myself ever needing a pc again

people that say Macs are better/ or vise versa are dumb, they're computers and they do the same thing pretty much, just get what suits you!

If you have the money get a mac if you like the running system, im not really used to it but I like it, the reason im saying get a macbook is because the actual laptop is much better quality and will last alot longer, i've had a hp for less than 2 years and it's already breaking.

I'm still with my 'get what ever you want', but a low end shitty make like hp/dell/etc cannot be used to justify the quality of PCs. there are fantastic laptops out there, just don't ever buy anything from dell or a company like that, their quality is heinous.

ok thanks guys

Actually I have had great experiences with both Dell and HP. My PC is an HP.

Fuck i dont i want the retina so i can like get into editing video and taking opictures and shit cuz im getting a boidy of a 600 d so idk

It really depends on what you plan to use it for, I guess if your only going to use it for using the internet and gaming by far means get a pc, but if you are going to be using it for creative means, I think you would find it was a no-brainer to get something else. Ive never owned a pc in my life but when I end up using them I cant stand them. Like even small things like the trackpads are horrible and poorly designed. And if you're on a tight budget, just get one second hand. I think you'll realise that they not only last longer but retain their value as long as its in good condition.

EDIT: The retina is pretty darn good, my dad does photography for a living and occasionally uses the retina when he's away from home, so it is a brilliant display.

Just go with a macbook pro, check on the refurbish center. You can actually pick one up with the same one year warranty apple offers. & you have up to 14 days to decide if you want to keep it or take it back. I work as a mac genius at apple.

thats awesome man. would you recomend the macbook pro retina for like basically doing a bit of editing photes and videos and watching moveies and just searching the interrnet?

My opinion on mac vs pc
Basically yes you can get a pc just as good as a mac for much cheaper but when you go to use your of you don't always no it's gonna work, whereas a mac it's pretty much never gonna break. Macs are worth the money of you aren't interested in having to deal with computer problems but you can customise it quite as much and it's a he'll of a lot more. I prefer macs, I want to be able to go to my computer and not have to worry about any issues, not hating on pc people thogh

I use a Dell..
