Any REAL reason to buy a mac? * 1
    #18827373 - 09/11/13 11:35 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Is there any real reason to buy a mac this day in age? Aside from....

-Being a tool
-Being a hipster
-Buying a machine that requires expensive software to run microsoft programs you need anyway
-wasting a ton of money
-Having a sexy "LOOKING" laptop

etc. etc.


Anyone else feeling me on this one? :strokebeard: I think it says allot about a person who buys a mac and it certainty isnt "Innovative" :morningtoke:

They're definitely pricey, but I wouldn't mind having one.

In 2009 my major required having a Macbook Pro for graphic arts. I ended up buying, still using, it and not dealing with any of the corruption that my PCs have gone through. For four years it's been a trusty computer that is very portable and a great thing for running music programs. Along with this, it plays the games I'm interested in quite well.

Yeah, if I went on a hunt and built my own PC for the same amount of money I could probably have a computer that ran high end programs faster but then I would be in the PC world also. I like my Mac because it is easy and straight forward.

Apple software is cheaper and easier to use than the Microsoft equivalents.

Apple's products are quality, they design their software specifically for their hardware which results in a seamless interface and great experience.
Im not dissing microsoft or anything but apple knows what their doing.
I'm guessing you don't have one? Or you wouldn't be asking such silly question ay?

Fuck that.. Logic Pro is a good DAW, but so are FL Studio&Cubase :shrug:

It's really not about the tools, but how you use them IMO.

I've been studying Logic for about a year, made some tracks with it, and while it's great, I really like FL Studio/Cubase more(but that's just me)

What I'm trying to say, is that by no means is it necessary to get a mac for making great music..

Apples Linux based software is only compatible with certain programs

So you'll have to dual boot it with windows for many programs or games

Apple is set up to be simplistic for the folks who don't kno much about computers

But it's very versatile, I recommend their hardware If you're down to tweak your machine a bit

Not true, theres viruses. Just because its a different operating system doesnt mean the language doesnt allow for the creation of malicious programs.
