Yes it does ;-)
Anyways my setup is
2x 24" BenQ 1920x1080 Full HD screens
1x 51" Samsung Plasma sometimes used for gaming mostly only movies and TV
2x MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III in SLI mode(turned it off for WoW tho.)
1x Intel I7 clocked to 4.2 GHz
16GB 1600 MHz memory from Corsair
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Corsair Force GT 120 GB
Corsair AW 1200 gold+
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO
4xWD 3TB
Blackwidow Ultimate
Naga Epic
Nostromo
Megalodon
also got a mid 2010 I7 15" MBP with SSD and proper ram that I use for editing and on Travels
some of the equipment is just temporary, waiting for the new Intel I7 extreme CPUs and next gen GPUs (will most likely be going tri-SLI) and getting a new watercooling setup.
this is just some of my setup cba posting specs for all as I don't use everything for gaming.
no the Razer BLADE, not Switchblade. Razer Blade is a new proper "gaming" laptop, which is really light etc, price tag should be around 3.000$
I do, the trackpad is AMAZING for working at a remote location specially for editing images.
Only issue is that its *required* to upgrade to an SSD and 8GB RAM for it to hit its potential, but that ain't as expensive as getting that upgrade through Apple tho if you do it yourself.
Tbh gaming aside mac-books are by far the best looking, Easy to use and very very good performance wise. I use a Imac, lover the screen on it just 100% prefer them to PC now
By the time your Mac is capable of running everything windows can, you've replaced the OS and you're already running on PC hardware. Macs are just stupidly expensive and proprietary. When it breaks down, you send it to the apple store and some under paid tech over charges you to fix it. Meanwhile, you're without a PC for hours/days/weeks/months. If my PC breaks down (even my laptop) I can fix it myself for the cost of parts (which are always cheaper anyway) at home.
If owning a 'more attractive' computer is what does it for you, then more power to you. Personally, I don't intend to take my computers out on dates or anything.
Lets not turn this into a Mac V PC war, + All i use my mac for is music production and the odd game, + editing. + I have had it 1 year, and still runs wow on ultra everything at 60Fps stable, So it does what i need it to. Also iv never had a problem with my mac in 1 year of having it, Had my labtop for 6 months, Trojan virus fest.
But I do agree PC's are much better for gaming I just like my mac
If u can't help clicking ads about getting ripped in 2 days, or growing ur penis, yeah I think u might want to use "No virus" as a pro-mac argument (There are several virusses for mac by now btw, think the first ones came up around 2005, and there was no getting rid of them whatsoever since there was no anti virus software for mac either
Radiobox said:
You don't just 'get a virus.' Every single time anyone has ever gotten a virus, it's because they put it on their computer. You can't randomly get a virus just by being connected to the internet, no matter what kind of computer you own. Some dip shit clicking on the ads for penis enlargement or downloading that attatchement from the email that says you won the lotto, those people are going to get the virus even if they are on a mac.
Not everyone is smart enough to avoid getting a virus, and buying a mac isn't going to make you smart enough. Mac = PC with an OS that isn't nearly as compatible with the latest and greatest software. Sure, you can get a mac that runs just as fast and reliably as a PC (because it's on PC hardware) but you won't get a mac that runs everything a windows machine will run, unless you run windows OS on your mac (at that point you should just buy a PC).
The biggest lie people tell themselves is that they are getting something better when they buy a mac. It just isn't the case. If anything, you're paying more because it has the apple logo on it and getting an inferior product (because of software incompatibility).
Tbh kinda like this
£1000 for a mac gets you, Top preformence on most games, Very good looking computer, Good sound quality speakers, Good multi tasking, nice Big clear screen ( Imac). + Also very low risk when it comes to getting a virus, however they are out there,
£1000 for a Pc Would get you Top better preformence than a mac on all games, ugly Computer, Decent multi tasking, Good screen, Easy to repair yourself, However more liable to get a virus.
Tbh It depend what you like I prefer mac however they will never take over windows because of the price argument.
