Should i get an hp laptop or macbook pro?

Question

At first I was thinking I'd just get an HP g-series because they're not too expensive and have good specs, and I personally just love HP, but now I'm interested in the macbook pro..is it that much better than an HP? Why are macbooks like double the price? Is it just because its a mac or what? BTW I would be using this laptop mostly for downloading videos and albums and PhotoShop. So speed and being able to multitask are important.

Answer 1

Well mac are double the price because of the name. Kind of like alienware, you get the exact same hardware but it costs more for no reason. The mac OS isnt good enough to make it worth the extra like $400 for a similar hardware windows laptop lol...

Windows has equivalent software, can run photoshop and etc just like mac.



Speed is based on hardware, if you get a $1000 hp vs a $1000 mac, the hp will have much better hardware.

And all the popular apple myths are wrong, especially about them being virus free lol.



Not sure why the macs just got a huge boost in popularity, is it really because of those dumb commercials? yes im a mac and im a pc, even though that is an false statement, because a PC is a personal computer which would also make mac a pc... So i would say that shows just how ignorant apple is....





EDIT: @ its me

Well there you go, that really shows how ignorant mac users are lmao

1) antivirus software is free, and you still need anti virus software on macs too...

2) blue screens are caused almost all the time from hardware issues or corrupt drivers, macs have a similar screen too....

and guess what, people who arnt retarded like you dont get viruses and dont have hardware problems because we actually know how to use a computer....



3) mac are more expensive (almost double the price) of any other windows computer with the EXACT same hardware. and imovie is not that good, i have used it...

4) "top of the line parts" LOL x 10^10, are you retarded? the hardware in macs arnt made by apple, guess what its the EXACT same hardware as any other computer....

5) "mac wont be obsolete in 2 years" yes you are 100% correct, they become obsolete in months.... using a core 2 dou, a over 5year old processor, that will last so much longer then a sandy bridge core i5/i7 that you could get for the same overall price...





Heres a fun fact, most people who have macs, will use something like boot camp to also be able to boot windows! lol, lets compare that to how many people make hackintosh computers (computer not made by mac able to run the mac os).

Answer 2

Without going into great detail, you want a worthless toy, get the mac. You want a valuable tool, get the PC.

EDIT: Apple has been fleecing the public with their over priced and incompatible garbage for 30 years. You spend twice for the same hardware on a comparable PC. That is precisely why Apple has only sold to 5% of the buying public for the last 30 years.

EDIT: @ its me. FYI, I've been in computer programming and repair for 35 years. Worked on home computers since they hit the market. Your junk mac can't compete period. The ONLY reason Apple has survived is due to the little kiddies begging their computer illiterate parents into buying that over priced garbage. OSX better? LOL! That's why most software developers design software for windows. You've got the logic of a brick. As for the resale price of a mac, I'll quote P.T. Barnum. "Theres a fool born every minute"

Answer 3

I have a HP computing device, pavillion dv6500. I hate it. and that i do pick a macbook professional. To get a mac it relies upon what you pick, media, action picture or song are the macs specialities, for employer and such then residing house windows is extra acceptable to apply. yet circumvent Vista, vista is horrendous.

Answer 4

I like my MacBook Pro. It is much easier to use and it is more fun too! Photoshop, iMovie, Photo Booth, and iPhoto are AMAZING on the MacBook Pro.



I hope this helps :)
