Convince me
So, last nigh, my computer spazzed out and I might need to buy a new one. I am currently a mac user, but right now, I am on the fence. I'm not sure what to do. Should I go back to windows, or should I stick with apple?

Convince me.

Windows because, games are easier to put on it. If you're not an idiot it wont crash or get viruses often. Unless you're getting it for work and not games that is.

If you're willing to buy a new system, and build it yourself, you can get WAY WAY more performance for your cash than if you'd bought any mac system. It's a must if you want to seriously get into gaming, or even if you want a little more freedom from the cookie-cutter world of Apple.

I'm not saying Apple makes bad computers, but in my opinion, if you want to get the most bang for your buck, hand-built PC all the way. I'm sure I can come up with some examples if you'd like, as I'm currently in the process of planning a budget-gaming build for a friend.

My windows 7 build has yet to crash on me during regular use. I've only crashed it while pushing overclocks on my video cards out of curiosity.

If you will be gaming, macs are pretty much out of the question.

I suggest windows.

Mac is alittle overpriced for somethin.

Windows has gaming, and ofc you'll be here right?

Windows. But If you're very used to mac, stay wit mac.

This, windows is cheaper, more performance, and will always have a larger game industry.
Mac is more user friendly, less bugs, etc. But with that comes lack of being able to do the things you want.

Is it for work or games?

Games = Windows.
Work = Mac.

I'll give reasons after you answer. :P
