so you posted this in some other thread...

Honestly they are much better machines than all the pcs <- Inaccurate
They dont slow down <- Too vague
They dont break (often) <- Too vague
No viruses <- Inaccurate
fan broken <- Accurate, But when i want to play a game on my laptop I dont want my i7 burning my legs. Macbook Pros do that

I wanna see you play LoL on a regular laptop on your lap. cause you know people do that all the time.

Mac's don't break often he's right. Windows machines break down more often than mac's do. and its not vague.

oh wow. I came into this thread expecting a discussion about cereal.


Apple Jacks ftw.

I too was expecting cereal, and was sad.

What is your definition of broken?

Where is your baseline?

If the Nerd Herd sells 100 PCs and 10 Macs and 10% of them experience hardware failure, 11 people are mad, 10 are PCs so you're saying MORE PCs break MORE often... Seems vague to me.

I don't play LoL on my laptop in my lap because I'm not a terrible player who would subject my team to someone trying to play on a touchpad. I put my laptop on a table so I can use a mouse on a decent sized mousing surface so the ability to use it on my lap is moot.

Also, it's a workstation, with a powerhouse CPU and GPU, gets a good 60 capped FPS at 1600x900, only gets like an hour without AC power, and still microwaves my lap less than my Macbook Pro. And let's not even get started on the Air, we have one of those and I've heard some people borrow it on the weekends in winter to use between bedsheets.

You know what usually causes a computer to break? User error. I've been using various electronics for years and all of my PCs have lasted for 3-5 years, until I decide to replace them and give my old ones away to people in still perfectly working condition. Just because Apple makes an OS that is more idiot-proof and decent components doesn't mean you should say it breaks less often. Toys made for children and dogs generally break less easily than high quality electronics for adults, too.

Okay let's take gaming off the table, lets say you were compiling a video...

What's the heat output from that on your lap?

yeah


but




y u mad?

._. "Doesn't break down often"... I beg to differ. My sister's mac book had to replaced/fixed 3 times. 2 times due to faulty hardware and once due to an OS update crashing her computer. They only break down as much as windows PCs :|

I swear man every time I see General Mills post I admire him more.

I think hes saying that since there are more pcs, more pcs break down then macs. Which doesnt mean anything because if you had more macs then he'd be saying more macs breakdown.

I play exclusively on a laptop. The heat dissipation on this ASUS is amazing. No heat on the bottom but it's hot as hell coming out the side. (It's an i7)
