Re: New computer,what should I go for,mac,windows etc
Stop turning this poor guy's topic into your own personal dick measuring contest for massive tech giants who couldn't give less of a shit about your opinion either way, please and thank you, everyone not blinded by favoritism already knows that Mac and Windows, Android and IOS are both full of flaws and innovations in nearly equal measure. Apple is generally less so, and it's inherently streamlined interface helps it out, but it's catching up quickly do to the death of the (great?) Steve Jobs, and Microsoft still offers far more user customization for free or cheap, and probably always will, just like it will probably always feel somewhat cobbled together and be more prone to security threats.
I can't really comment on the hole Google VS Apple thing as I don't actually own either of their mobile devices, but I'm guessing it's basically the same.
Mostly, it's about personality and how much your willing to put up with, which are
both subjective things, and if people didn't want these differing types of user experiences in the first place, (restrictive but reliable), or (ungraceful but freeing), then neither of them would exist anyway, so clearly either everyone is wrong or everyone is right...
People without a few thousand dollars to throw away don't have time for this type of BS, just saying, so since you both do seem to potentially have useful information to share, then can you just redirect your efforts towards helping the OP, or just not post here and talk about this somewhere else instead? Since it is, after all, a valid, if rather tired, argument to debate on.
Yeah thanks for reminding me about that, I'm going to look at a few Windows computers now.
Also just wanted to say that I checked out the MacBook Air as well, but unfortunately the only one
near your price range has a 128GB SSD, which really isn't going to cut it if your running VM or boot camp, and you actually want to be able to do file sharing, or to have allot of apps on either side.
Thankfully, since this mid 2012 model can be serviced at home quite easily, you can just buy an SSD later if you want one, and it should give you a pretty drastic boost in performance.
SSD's are now much cheaper than they were even 3 years ago, and as long as your careful to read customer reviews from long time owners and respected technology sites, you can get a 240GB SSD for around 75 bucks, or a 512GB for around 125 bucks, that will last you at least five, up to ten, years.
