Run Ableton Live on a pc laptop in a club and see if it lasts the whole set without glitching...

Not worth the risk, hence Djs and Producers use Macs, not because of price looks or anything else but for the fact they are work horses and are far more stable

done that quite a quite a few times mate. thats what its used it for.

i think i would know better than you do, what my own setup is capable of.

I know what Macs and Pc's are capable of as Ive used both professionaly for over 10 years, when you make a living from using a computer every day thats when you need one that wont freeze, suffer from virus's and perform under pressure

Thats what Macs are for.

Just a quote:

"1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!

Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:

2. Fuck you.

I don't know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can't do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can't even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog shit:

Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

# An artist.
# In a band.
# Unemployed (see above). "

Nuf said.

one of MANY links. the whole idea of one being better than the other with stability is moot.

the idea of it being able to do your job better, is up to the you in the end. and i think we can all agree nowadays theres so many hardware/software configurations, even with apples, its down to how you interact with it, configure it.

As for users in the industry, i remember hearing star wars last movie's CGI was rendered on an AMD opteron platform. pick whatever info you like from anywhere and an argument can be made, its always down to what works for you. if youve got 10 years experience 9 of them could have been you in your basement high on crack for all i know.

as for viruses, they dont bother me, i dont use an antivirus, ive only got one laptop and i do everythin with it. no crashes, i also leave it on 24 hours downloading, encoding, whatever and no problems. its not everyone having these issues with PCs

I could read pro/against links all day but the fact is I have used both OS's, Pc's in the early to late 90s then I switched over to Macs (before iMacs even came out!) because i was sick to death of defragging, having to install loads of drivers just to print something and constantly getting virus's on my machines.

I have never ever since switching had a problem with workflow on a mac, very rarely does it crash and every time i have sat on a Pc to do some work something has gone wrong, froze or it just cannot do what i want it to do.

I couldnt care less how much they cost, what they look like or the stigma attached to a product.. i just want something that works every day without fucking up and everytime i have used a pc for work it seems to have a problem

Crash different:

it makes me laugh that a discussion like this gets to you so much that you need to curse.. but seriously, get it together. we're talking about a product that you buy in a store, it is unlikely it will say anything about you personally now is it?

'mac users' dont get defensive when called idiots any more than microsoft users do. i dont think you can honestly be cursing on macs and say you're not being defensive yourself.

all mac users have experience with windows. windows is the OS that is everywhere and everone nows how to work with it. the contrary can be said for people currently using windows: most have not experienced macs.

and if you don't feel stylish enough to buy an ipod than it seems to me that you have problems of a more personal nature..

Again why would anyone buy a Mac for gaming?? you would buy an Xbox or some shit, Macs are for doing a job so if you want to do some word processing use a Pc

Just ask Liam...

Buddy, are you blind or just plain stupid? IT'S A QUOTE! http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net ... =macs_cant

How would anyone know its a quote unless they knew every page on the internet??

I take it you have never used or owned a mac or ipod/iphone then?

Aparently crapintosh users don't know the meaning of "Just a quote: " from the beginning of my post. Oh well...there's always time to raise the IQ...

Okay so ill ask again... have you ever owned or used a Mac Pro then?

As ive used a Pc for years so can compare...

hardly credible something is a quote if you indeed forget to put the link.

and why would you quote something and not back up the content?

Because he hasnt got a fucking clue what hes talking about!

Its easy to slag something off when you have never even used it, all Mac users have used Pc's so know how bad and frustrating they can be
