perhaps, but when it comes down to it, thats the only real advantage of the pc. slightly less cost, and games. for that you sacrifice build quality/design.
just look at the threads on the imac. most who complain are the ones wondering if it'll run doom3 basically
Games are not the only advantage of a PC, at least not with me. AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop, Solidworks, CATIA, Pro/E, Inventor, 3D Studio Max and quite a few other programs are Windows specific. For whatever reason, I have no idea, but until there is a mac version of any of these programs (a good version, not some half-assed garbage with the same name stuck on it), macs are useless to me. With that said, macs are nice computers and if it works for you more power to you.
still, when u think about it thats a pretty weak arguement. just how many gamers run autocad? mchanical desktop? catia? etc etc etc? .1%? for most people a mac is fine.
I have to say that your argument was even weaker. He was not saying that gamers run these programs. Where is your information to back up that beacuse someone uses autocad, catia, etc that they dont play games in their spare time? He was saying that Macs don't support the programs he uses.
it doesn't matter what autocad users do on their spare time. they are such a small % they are irrelevant. the thing that is being argued about is whether a mac gets what needs to be done for most people.
How exactly is the engineering/drafting industry irrelevant? I can see where home users don't count, but thousands and thousands of companies worldwide is hardly irrelevant.
its irrelevant because those people are not the target market. its that simple.
