I prefer PC for gaming, altough Mac is a MUST for diehard Dj's and students

TheMART6229d ago

Don't forget the use with Garageband with Line 6 products like the KB37 (I own it) and the free Pod Farm plugin combined with a semi accoustic guitar + Shure SM58 mic... The electric guitar with all amps etc. is also crazy stuff!

A record studio that you cannot beat, it would take thousands of dollars to get something similair. Its crazy. I have a MSI Wind U100 netbook with OSX (yes it runs great) for about 300 Euro 2GB Ram + 160GB HDD, output on external display 24 inch 1080p, the KB37 for 239 Euro and a Yamaha CPX700 for about 450 Euro. The Shure SM58 is 99 Euro. Thats your recording studio for about 800 to 1.000 Euro there.

And here's TheMART leader of the Microsoft Defense Force and head of Advertising Microsoft products on n4g. *runs away*

TheMART6229d ago

MART who owns a PS3, Wii, 360, 2 x PSP Fat&Slim and all other systems that have been for a long, long time. He works on Windows, but ATM on OSX on the MSI Wind.

I prefer MS this gen, the Wii stinks with lots of partygames but emulators, Madworld&House of the Death: Overkill are allright. But the choices Sony makes for some time he find arrogant and wrong.

What does Dave own? Kid has 2 bubbles says enough. Run coward, run. Fast and far. You might just want to react on the thing I posted, which is usefull information for some.

Dave20016228d ago

I own a Ps3, 360 and a Wii i used to be a major 360 fan-boy (look at my comment history) but i got real tired of being one so i changed my ways.

Now i like to think of myself as a true gamer someone who enjoys games no matter what console they are on.

Can you say the same for yourself Mart? From looking at your comment history i think not!

Oh and the reason why i wrote runs away was i was afraid that you would get your fellow 360 fan-boy's from your site to come here back you up and attack me like you usual do when your losing a argument.

TheMART6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

Again: what did you post had to do with mine?

Totally nonsense, way off, not on topic. Anyone comment after me I am not getting 'in', they come by themselves. You're not a real gamer, you just proved to be more a troll then me by this action. Sad guy.

With this post and your reaction there was no comment to loose. And by the way, I am allways right, so I can't loose. Now your bubbles are gone, and soonish your on one so you won't show up at all.

Ah Dave was a 360 fanboy and switched sides? So you're accusing me of something you did yourself? Are you trying to get your bubbles back from PS3 fanboys if they're going to like you, to have the Sony Defense Force to back you up so you won't be on your sad 2 bubbles anymore? Really guy. Go get a live. Tard.

EDIT

oh I see this was your comment just 46 days ago:

"46 days 12 hours ago
The graphics look amazing a lot better than Killzone 2 that's for sure!

I feel sorry for Ps3 owners they will never play this fantastic game...who am i kidding I'm glad they won't get to play this game they don't deserve too.

Only true gamers who bought a 360 deserve to play this game"

You're busted.

The problem with macs are they too expensive, and you cant really justify paying apples prices when you can get a system with a better spec for much less...

skyfire22616229d ago

I disagree. When (about a year ago) I bought my iMac i did a price comparison as close as I could to a PC equivilent just for giggles, I found no difference in price. The thing with macs though is that they RETAIN there value. So yeah if i were to do a search now then that same PC setup will be cheaper then my current iMac.

And since macs can run windows the whole argument about lack of software (even though mac has plenty) is just thrown right out the window (no pun intended :P).

socomnick6228d ago

Retain their value, seriously computers are not like cars you do not sell them, who seriously sells their computers after using them some years.

Rofflecopter6228d ago

Dont get me wrong, I enjoy playing around on a mac here and there, but come on.. I have a dell laptop, 2 cores at 2.2ghz. I bought this two years ago now for about $1400. A friend of mine just bought a mac with ONE 2.6ghz processor, same RAM, same hard drive space, and screen size. He paid $2900. Two years ago i paid half of what he just paid, and he bought it last week.

Macs look great, but they are not for those on a budget. Unfortunately, many people are on a budget these days..

LinuxGuru6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

Regarding the processor:

You, presently and for quite some time now, can't buy a Mac with anything less than a dual-core processor. (Even the Mac Mini has 2.0 or 2.26GHz Intel Core2Duo with 3MB L2 cache)

Also, his DUAL CORE 2.6GHz processor probably performs significantly faster than yours, has most likely a larger cache, the system RAM is probably clocked faster, and it has a slot-loading drive.

Not that those would totally justify a 2900 dollar price point, but please make sure you're not oversimplifying or downplaying some of the facts.

N4G is tired of posting 'PS3 vs 360' posts so now resorts to the age old comparison... which is better a Mac or PC..

Personally I have a PC as a desktop and a Mac as my Laptop. All my gaming is done on my PC (duh) and everything else is on the Mac mainly cause Mac OS>>>>>Vista. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) actually feels graphically superior to Vista and still works much much faster than Vista. Even with 4GB Ram on my Pc, my Mac smokes it at start up and application launching speed. Also, I don't have to worry about Viruses or my Mac abruptly hanging... And lets face it... If I go to a coffee shop and open my Mac, ten people turn around and see it (By the way it's MacBook Air... world thinnest note book) whereas people hardly ever notice any Windows laptop with the oomph factor now (be it Vaio, Dell whatever....).

In my personal opinion, I feel Macs are better suited for me cause they add a novelty factor. Some people say it's not for the masses cause it's expensive blah blah blah... But hey I have it and I don't give a s*it if other people don't have the cash to buy it. One things for certain... if you come on the Mac side, you can never go back... And ya it's Apple!!!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio22d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing22d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
