Finally sold my old macbook and replaced it with a real laptop.
    #21800152 - 06/12/15 11:33 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Been getting real sick of apple's shitty buggy osx. Been using apple computers for almost 8 years now. You have to own apple products to truly hate apple.

Sold my old 2007 macbook for $250 and bought myself a nice Dell Latitude E6410 from eBay for only $340. 2.8ghz i7 M640 (turbos at 3.5ghz), 8gb 1066mhz ram, 1tb hdd. It's way fuckin' faster and better than the macbook. I reformatted it and installed a fresh copy of windows 8.1 that a friend who works for microsoft hooked me up with for only $25. Installed all the drivers I need for it.

I want to sell my iMac in a few years. I still have some video editing I need to do on the mac osx before I sell it and custom make a beast desktop. Macs are pretty much only good for video editing. Or any media editing. 

I have a question, why is this laptop slower to boot up after installing all those millions of microsoft updates?? It booted up pretty fast before all the updates, but after installing them all, my bootup time is doubled.

Not really. I hate them because I see them for exactly what they are. Inferior unimaginative products that only fetch top dollar because of a logo.

I have hated apple since the days of the Macintosh computer.

It was easier back then.

Name one thing a PC can do that a mac can't? right click

well you kind of answered your own question, more starting programs taking up RAM means a longer boot up time

might as well be happy mine takes like 2-3minutes if you try clicking on anything after the screen is there

And the irony is in 8 years from now you couldn't pay someone $250 to take that PC let alone get $250 out resale out of it. I use a Mac every day for a living. All the top guys I know writing software are using a Mac. Never had an issue with my Mac.

Good luck with the new PC... it was probably time for an update regardless of the manufacturer.

Yeah I'm sure my 8 core processor and AMD Radeon 7990 will be obsolete in 8 years. :rofl2:

My parts are all 2 years old so far, and still run every single game on ultra... Oh shit.. how do I put that into context.. You cant run games period..

I'll be over here enjoying beautiful scenery. Ring if you need me.

Play any good games lately? Oh. That's right. Nevermind.




Make sure you watch in 1080, if a mac can even handle that :rofl2:

Nah, E Machines or Acer are worse. At least the Dell will theoretically outlive them both. Really the only problem I have with Dell (that isn't a universal problem with pretty much all low end prebuilts) is the fact that every Dell anyone's ever wanted me to work on because it was performing shitty is the entire goddamn case was riveted on. I just about had an aneurysm the first time I came across one. How the fuck are you supposed to clean out the heat sink and shit. :crankey: The fuck were these people thinking!

The only reason they would do this, is so you have to buy a new computer when that one takes a dump. I would bet that a lot of people never clean their computer anyway. Just like how some people never change the air filter in their air conditioner.

I remember opening this computer to work on it, and there was a dead rat inside of it

I have to agree. most people don't clean them. Every single computer I've ever worked on has been caked in dust to a point where you couldn't even really see the fins of the heat sink any longer. Usually when things are to that point there's nothing I can do. Computers start suffering from overheating long before it reaches that point, so when it's at that point it's been an on going problem and damage is done.




This is almost always the scene I encounter.

Bah dell sucks. Shoulda asked around here first. I like Asus personally but that's just my preference. Can get a pretty damn good hardware wise laptop for relatively cheap. And the builds aren't bad there sturdy

My god.. I bet the smoked while on the computer too.. All that tobacco residue all over it isn't helping.

I worked IT for a while and the most common problem was "IT WON'T TURN ON WHATS WRONG WITH YOU'RE SHITTY PRODUCT" (they're always angry after being on hold) "Okay, what's wrong with it? are you getting any lights or feedback at all? "NO YOUR DAMN TECHNOMAJIG IS BROKEN" "Have you checked to see if it was plugged in Sir/Ma'am" "...oh.. thanks for your help"

Never an apology for being a cunt either.

That computer makes me cringe. We should have a battle stations thread where we post pictures of our rigs.

Mine might make you cringe though because I don't cable management, it's not THAT bad, but its definitely not done right I'm just lazy. I have a craigslist ad to build computers and then I cable manage but otherwise nah, too lazy.

False.

Only because I'll never admit an E machine is a computer.

And Acer makes okay netbooks. if all you're using is the internet and Microsoft word style programs for school you'll be okay with a 100 dollar acer netbook. Never seen an Acer tower but I'd probably kill myself at the site of it.

I could never work IT.. Just in general talking to people about their computers ends up making my eye twitch. I never thought my knowledge of them was anything special but apparently it is. Actually based on all the conversations I've had with people I'm a goddamn genius when it comes to them.. I'll tell you right now I don't know shit. I can build a computer, I can fix problems through Google, but it's all extremely basic stuff. The amount of people out there who seem to know exactly fuck all about them is astounding. I've had people tell me they don't need to clean out the case because theirs has fans (in a fashion that signifies they seem to think this is some special feature) that blow out the dust for them. :facepalm:

The original fat ps3 doesnt have button's the power and disc tray are just icons on a touch screen heat panel. My mom spent like 20 minutes telling me it was broken and couldn't find any buttons (she bought as a bluray player because they're cheaper) and I drove all the way to her house, and put my finger over it and turned it on:justno:

Old people just don't get technology.

It's fucking astounding the stupid fucking calls I got sometimes "Are you connected to the internet?" "What button is that?"

Wow dude, calm down some of you. I know Dell isn't the best brand but I just SIMPLY wanted something to replace the macbook, something more current and something with more than 2gb of fucking ram. I always got low ram warnings on my macbook with like 2 tabs open in chrome. 2gb of ram was fine 5 years ago but now, websites are more intensive. I do simple things on a computer, internet, music, email, porn, etc, and light video editing. This computer is more than powerful enough.

In a few years when I can afford a BETTER laptop I will get a better one.

I could build everything you have in your little mac books for 300 dollars.

Why would I need to sell it when I still have money left over?

The always restarting issue in your computer is what we used to call in IT, PEBKAC.

I don't want a home made computer, or to do it myself.

I like the design and thought that goes into apples aluminum laptops, how sturdy they feel, how thin they are. I like the operating system and I like using logic x to make music. So no, I wouldn't really care for your home built version, though it's definitely cool that you can do that. It's worth the extra money to me, easily.

The fact you can resell outdated technology for a good price is nothing more than proof that people pay stupid prices simply for the logo. This is not a good argument for why Apple products are "good". It's the exact opposite.

Apple's products are no more cutting edge than their PC counterparts. This means that when the technology in the PC version is eclipsed and is valued at near worthless, Apple's version should be as well. However this is not the case. And it's all because of the logo and status symbol attached.

I have always had Windows PCs, and guess what? I leave mine on 24/7 too. No reinstalling anything or restarting and no more maintenance than one would need to perform on Apple's products. Face it, you're paying a premium for a name and nothing more.

In my built rig, I've never once had the Blue Screen of death, has your Mac ever gotten the black screen with the power button in it?

Not even just hating on macs, but all prebuilt computers do that shit, the BsOD or whatever the Mac equivalent is, it always happens on prebuilts. Mac's are completely over priced which we can agree on, If you want to buy a prebuilt computer that doesn't suck dick buy an origin.

If you can't / don't want to build your own computer and have no idea how it works you can't talk about why it's better.

You wouldn't teach a racecar driver how to drive because you rode in the back of a taxi one time.

That's what it feels like you're doing.

Also you don't have to tinker with it, you just have to not install shitty bloatware and not click on shitty retard links like Zynga and what not.

As long as you're not a complete dumbshit a regular vanilla install of windows will almost never crash.

Prebuilt rigs crash because they're soaked in bloatware.

Do you ever have any real hardware issues with PC, or is it all PEBKAC?

Not even just hating on macs, but all prebuilt computers do that shit, the BsOD or whatever the Mac equivalent is, it always happens on prebuilts. Mac's are completely over priced which we can agree on, If you want to buy a prebuilt computer that doesn't suck dick buy an origin.

If you can't / don't want to build your own computer and have no idea how it works you can't talk about why it's better.

You wouldn't teach a racecar driver how to drive because you rode in the back of a taxi one time.

That's what it feels like you're doing.


Dude, I'm just saying why they work for me and I love them, and you are telling me I'm wrong and that it's a piece of shit. I really don't care what you use your computer for. When you start recording music get back to me. The macbook works great. I didn't even try to say it was better, I said it was better for me.

Have been using a 2013 macbook air for the past two years, a 2011 macbook pro for two years before that, and a 2009 plastic white macbook before that.

I love the macbook air. If there was any 'bugginess' to the first two, it's gone with this one. The solid state drive is super fast, everything is. I turn it on and it's ready to go in 15 seconds. It never hesitates. I record audio on it, monitoring with effects in real time and at low latency, and it does great. I'll keep buying macbook airs as long as they make them and I need a laptop. Physically it's super sturdy and super light/thin and I can throw it around to some degree, and not worry about anything breaking. The newer thinner macbook pros look sweet as well, and are probably a lot faster. But this base model 13" macbook air is a powerful machine for basically being apple's 'budget' model

If anything, there are a few quirks in the way that finder works in osx, compared to explorer in windows, that bug me. But overall I feel it's a much cleaner and more productive experience, and it works great for what I do, which is make music. It also handles everything else I throw at it, and there are rarely technical issues that need to be worked out. It just works, well. I definitely prefer the osx experience to windows, though I'm very familiar with both. What's funny, is I don't have an iphone, but only because I feel they're way overpriced.

My memories of using windows computers, it was always restarting, installing, all of these maintenance things. With this thing I literally leave it on 100% of the time. The battery lasts 12+ hours, no exaggeration. When it gets low I plug it in, when I close it it goes to sleep, its seamless. When I open it it springs to life instantly and there is no delay. its just continually ready to go. I'm sure windows has improved, and I know it has, because I use it at work daily... but at the same time, there are still more issues to deal with, more dialog boxes and more glitches and restarts and other little shit to get in the way of whatever job is to be done. Apple has its own set of quirks and glitches and its not perfect either, but overall its much better. In my opinion, of course.

Oh, and the best part, is the resale value. I sold the plastic white macbook for 700 bucks, Put that towards the pro, which is still worth 500 or maybe 600 if I push it today (still own it)

Try selling your four year old dell for 600 dollars :lol:




No offense but go suck Tim Cook's cock. Your gay little macbooks. The finder has some very annoying bugs, and the way the click works on osx is fucking annoying. Try clicking on the same exact spot more than once without moving your mouse. Osx won't let you click on one spot more than once without moving the mouse a little bit. The most annoying fucking thing in the world.

I can care less about resale value for a dell laptop. My laptop has a first generation i7 and it's still more powerful than the shitty i5 CURRENT macbooks. I basically traded in my old macbook for hardware that is way faster than the current macbooks.

Windows 8.1 doesn't have the problems that everything prior to windows 7 had. Get a clue.

Macs are fucking computers for little children. They are computers with training wheels. If I made more money I'd sell the imac right now and build myself a REAL tower beast pc with an octa core and 16gb of the fastest ram on the market right now.

The reason most people have problems with windows is because they don't reformat it and install a fresh RETAIL version of windows. Most people are running the shitty oem operating system with all that manufacturer bloat on it.

They work for you and you love them by all means, someones got to own a minivan to get the kids to school.

But when you feel like buying a racecar,
Since you won't build one, get an Origin, which by the way, was founded by the members of Alienware, dell bought alien ware and turned it into the Windows version of Macs, (over priced, lower quality, shit tier, you're paying for a shitty product with the alien ware logo on it.)

Anyways, those employees of alien ware, left after dell bought it, and started up Origin PC's.
http://www.originpc.com/

They're the best prebuilts on the market in my opinion

That's way better than my minivan racecar metaphor.

It's literally so simple they don't think people are intelligent enough to have two buttons on the mice, that'd be an overload for mac users.

Mac users like simple because their brains are simple.

You know any professional mixers in the industry who mix on macs?

Ever been to a real recording studio? They use PC. The only people who use Macs are people who think they're musicians working as a waiter, or a barista.

I can build a computer, I can fix problems through Google, but it's all extremely basic stuff. The amount of people out there who seem to know exactly fuck all about them is astounding. I've had people tell me they don't need to clean out the case because theirs has fans (in a fashion that signifies they seem to think this is some special feature) that blow out the dust for them. :facepalm:




I'm the same exact way. I've been dicking around on computers since I was like 10 im 24 now. Most of your problems you can fix by a quick Google search. Anything more advanced I dunno I don't work in it. But I know how to keep a computer relatively clean and not running like shit as you gunked it up.

Its why I literally let nobody use my computers. Well the dumbest thing is they just don't know how to Internet. Get a ton of those toolbars and useless garbage clicking dumb shit.

Macs have TONS of bloat on them!! All those unneccessary launchdaemons running in the background, bloated NOTIFICATION CENTER that you have to hack in order to get rid of. Shitty slow animations that you have to perform terminal commands to get rid of. OSX is a computer for little kids.

You're retarded

Garageband isn't bloatware

It's not bloatware if you use it

How many times do I have to say I use these computers to record music????

Logic X is my DAW of choice. Garageband is like Logic light. I think it's awesome that it comes installed on the computer. it's like they're made for me. How is that bloatware??? :rolleyes:




SWEETIE....let me explain this to you: If you are using garageband or iPhoto to edit your audio and photos, you are NOT a professional!!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! LOLOLOL!!!

All those dumbed down children's programd for editing like garageband, iphoto and imovie, are for people who THINK they are professionals!!

Oh my god, oc bottom boi, did you not see where I said I use logic x, you dumb fuck? I don't use garageband at all. But I don't consider it bloatware. I think it's an awesome program to have preinstalled on a computer, for anybody who actually plays an instrument, unlike you sterile unimaginative fucks.

Jesus christ dude. and you're calling my computer gay? You just called me 'SWEETIE'

You can barely do anything with garage band. It's so simple and dumbed down it's literally for children. Replace garageband with "audacity."

Also I like how he said good luck selling your pc for 300 dollars.

I build rigs for money on craigslist.

I'll build a 500 dollar rig and sell it for 700 and they'll think they got a deal.

Lets see you do that with a mac, since you wanna talk money.

LMAO it's not bloatware if you use it? Yes it is. Mcafee is automatically used on ops shit level dell.

He uses it ( im assuming, i'd hope not ) that still makes it bloat wear.

You should stop melting and flaming before I report you.

I don't use mcafee. I don't use antivirus programs other than windows defender. I don't click on everything I see. Also, I reformatted the hard drive an installed a RETAIL version of windows 8.1. There is no DELL bloat on here other than the trackpad driver and the wireless driver, which are not bloat.

To Drr: I'm done, I'm not going to argue with a little apple fanboy. I used to be just like you, defending everything all holy apple says and does, denying their products are complete SHIT. Audacity is better than garageband. You can't do mathematically precise things in garageband like you can on audacity. Audacity DOES support multitrack, perhaps you are just too stupid to figure it out which is why you use macs.

Yes the Dell came preinstalled with shitty mcafee but I fuckin' wiped that shit, reformatted it and installed MY OWN copy of retail windows on it. None of that Dell shit.

FIRST thing you should do if you buy a prebuilt comptuer is refomat and install your own vanilla windows os on it.

I reported him for the flaming anyways.

But you should get Avast! all the other antiviruses use their virus definitions because it's the best on the market, a lot of other pubbers and the majority of the internet agree with me on avast! being the best available.

Dell still makes low quality products, you made great step ahead by installing a fresh copy of windows without dells bullshit, but the dell made quality parts are still an issue.

But you only payed like 250 for it right? Not a big deal if it breaks, but In me experience dell parts physically fail sadly, quite a bit actually.

And Toshiba's have shitty batteries. Toshiba would be a great laptop company except their batteries fall after like one year, almost religiously. Sometimes six months depending on usage. Basically if you own a toshiba the battery will fail.

It sucks because you really can't build a laptop unless you've been building rigs for years and years.

When you get the dough, you should really check out Origin.

They let you build your own everything and they assemble it for you.

http://www.originpc.com/configurator/l/l1.aspx?SYSTEMID=39

That should open up to customizing one of their laptops, you can choose whatever parts you want and it doesn't gouge prices, their former employees of alienware who quit when dell bought it, so they have something to prove. So all their shit has guarantees, is hand made in the USA, and is 100 percent customizable even down to the paint on the outside.

It's good shit.

I've wanted an origin computer just because their towers are sexy, but I can build the same thing for cheaper still so I'll never cave in until I'm rich.

An origin laptop though.. :awetongue:

Oh no! I will NEVER use avast! I had that installed on the windows 8.1 partition on my imac and it was causing random disconnections with my internet, even after uninstalling it completely. My internet stopped having problems only after a reformat and reinstallation of windows. I ONLY use vanilla windows. I have a friend who works for microsoft who hooked me up with a full vanilla retail version of windows with key for $25. 64 bit.

In a few years when I replace the dell, I will research into what better laptops there are. I really just wanted something fast that can replace the macbook.

I paid $340 for the dell laptop.

I'm on a pirated windows running avast, that's weird, are you positive avast caused the issues? I've been running avast since XP and never had any sort of issue like that, :shrug: All the other virus definitions are taken from avast, but to be honest, avast is pointless for me as I'm sure it is for you. I've never gotten a virus, and probably won't since I don't do stupid shit. The only way you get a virus is if you download a like like Hot new Miley Cyrus xxx Triple Xx potato fuck video or some stupid shit,

Origins are the way to go though, check out there website and build a dream laptop sometime. Also this,

Lol, you guys go on an on about Mac's being shit but then talk about what anti-virus software you use. Lol.

Any of you guys actually write code professionally full-time? I've been writing code for a living for 12 years now. When it comes to professional and productivity software, the Mac apps can't be beat. All the best devs use a Mac so they end up writing the best 3rd party apps for Mac too. I don't know very many Windows app developers outside of enterprise software.

I get it for games though. I can play most high end games on low-med graphics settings, but my computer is almost 3 years old now. A new rMBP would be better, but still wouldn't be great for graphics. The issue isn't really hardware, it's the software itself. I expect to see some changes in the future as open source continues to dominate and WebGL keeps getting better. Mobile devices for example have stunning graphics considering the fraction of CPU and GPU power in them compared to average gaming machines.

I've never owned a modern Mac but I've seen it claimed a lot in online discussions that their prices are way out of line with comparable products, and when it gets into specifics nobody seems to really be able to back it up. Any pro-grade laptop is generally going to cost a significant chunk of money.

Avast is THE best security software IMO. Used it for over a decade, never any problems with it

The price is in the details. The size, the screen, the multi-touch trackpad, the chiclet backlit keyboard, magsafe port, battery life, the noise level (damn near silent), and the software.

No PC manufacturer has anything comparable in quality when it comes to the things I mention. All the companies try and claim to have these things, but when it comes to using them for a job and relying on them day in and day out, it's only the Mac that prevails, IMO of course.

But you are right, if you compare "specs", the Mac isn't the best option. But specs are just specs and don't really mean shit when it comes to software, audio,  and video work. And the computer is a tax expense so it the price shouldn't really matter if it's required for doing business. Rather what does matter is the ability for a machine to be able to get out of the way and me make money.

For me it's not even the PC hardware that is bad. It's Windows... I just hate Windows and the UI's on Linux try to copy from Windows and Mac, which I hate even more. I love Linux for servers and CLI, but not for daily work/personal machines.

I have a mac. It kinda sucks. All the updates are buggy as shit and they usually have to roll out another patch in the next 48 hours to get it right. Im gonna check out origin for my next pc psychonautica since I was always a fan of alienware back in the day. Its funny I used to be big into computers back in the day but ever since I got a Mac I haven't really given a fuck

Yes, I do code full time, that's my job, and no, all the best devs don't use macs, that's some big bullspit.. Maybe if you're making shit like flappy bird but if you want to make a triple A title you better build a real computer.

Where do you do your "professional coding" a starbucks?

Macs get viruses to by the way you silly fuck. You know why there's less viruses for a mac? Because there are less mac users. There proportionately the same amount of viruses for both parties.

The fact that you melted so hard you rated me a 0 because you own a fucking make gave me the heartiest lulz I've had in a while so thank you sir.

Everything is quicker and more intuitive? hahahahhahahahahahaha
You have absolutely know idea what you're talking about.

My fastest boot time on my PC was 13 seconds. I'd love to see a mac go from completely powered down (not hibernated,) to running in 13 seconds.

I'm talking full boot too. as in logged in, and seeing the desktop. My computer doesnt have a password so it auto logs in.

And They're not even close to the industry standard and the fact that you say that show's you've never been in a real recording studio. They're the industry standard for people who think they're musicians but really aren't.

You like macs because you need to have your hand held by pretty graphics and GUI's to walk you through making your music.

It's funny when an apple fanboy is at loss for words when talking to PC people. Everything PC people say about mac users are completely true. I used macs for 8 years, and I can say that it's true!

My next laptop will be an origin. They ONLY have top of the line shit. But do they put their own bloat on the os or is it vanilla windows?

I mean my mac does everything I need it to.. so I don't really have any gripes with it. But i really really fucking hate iPhones. Android is worlds better in terms of customization and third party software. I root and unlock the boot loader for every phone I get. I love being able to overclock/underclock or do whatever the fuck I want.

iPhones are for simps who only wanna call/text and use iMessage or whatever the fuck.

Now you just need a 4k digital camera of high quality (not possible to find under $700), forget about using a phone as digital camera - looks like crap.

Phones are unuseable as cameras

Now you just need all your games to work in 4k, forget all about playing Red Alert 1 , or Quake 2 - the best games in the unvierse

I'm sticking with my 14" tft I got for free ;-)
Then I can still play all the good old games, even dos games if I want, if I buy a 4k monitor I can only play the newest games

No games before 2015 or so will be playable or look ok

They will look like crap, in non native resolution, they usually only play in 1024x768 or such


Btw the best cameras of today are usually max 5 Megapixels, so that would probably make the image 1/3 the size of your screen
Screw 4k, never would I use it, not even if I got one for free

I like my Ixus 500 camera, best pocket camera ever, and I like being able to get images from it in fullscreen without it looking like crap.
You can buy a new camera, but they make them worse today, more pixels but worse CCD/sensor size so full of noise - same with camera phone photos.

No way I'm buying into new technology, not with phones either. I'm keeping my nokia 3310 ;-)

They're always going to look like crap. Whether on a normal monitor or a 4k monitor.

You know 4k porn exists right? If that's not a reason to get a 4k monitor idk what the fuck is.

Im not using win xp, but debian GNU/Linux , www.gnu.org , www.debian.org

you should try it, it's really good (when it works:D)

usually it works longer than any win install too, I've never reinstalled yet for 5+ years


If I change PC I just move the harddrive over into a new PC, so this install is probably around 5 years ago, if you move a harddrive over from laptop/pc into a new laptop/pc with Windows XP you get a blue scren of death - need to reinstall

Windows cannot be moved around, one big downside

You need to reinstall every time you change pc

With linux you can upgrade pc every month and it will work

drr you are letting yourself get way too hyped up over this man. Once you hit that point you just begin defeating yourself in the argument.
:jimmies:


From what I've seen, Apple seems to offer laptops that are competitive value for money compared to offerings from other companies, in the market segments they choose to focus on. They do not offer a $300 gaming computer that competes with parts bought from the store and pirated Windows. Or a $150 shitbox competitor to the Chromebook or to Intel's Compute stick (I bought this when in first came out and there are many purposes it is perfectly awful for.) But they do have laptops that are light and have very good screens and battery life and so on and so on. A lot of people who need to carry a computer around with them to do work choose an Apple, or a Lenovo or a Toshiba or whatever.

Consider Panasonic's toughbook line. If you look just at Passmark score of the CPU and RAM and whatever, you would conclude that they suck big time.  But they excel in a particular area, a mobile computer that has a very good case and stands up to a lot of rough treatment. That is why they are used for police, military, ambulance, and so on. The seemingly outlandish price from the perspective of a gamer or casual home laptop user seems to be considered "worth it" for certain types of uses.



IMO the problem with the laptop market to date is that there is no standardization to the internals as there is with desktops, so you can't just buy a generic tough-as-nails laptop chassis, choose a motherboard from a wide variety of laptop motherboards that fit that standard size, monitor, keyboard of your choice etc, and keep all of the non-obsolecent components through many generations of internal hardware upgrades.

The Compute Stick is approaching that, you can pretty much put together a (slow) Intel based laptop with whatever small HDMI screen you want, one of those batteries for charging USB stuff on the go. The bigger ones have comparable capacity to a laptop battery. I have a Toughbook case in my shed somewhere that I want to do this with. Someone in my neighborhood was just throwing it out.

You can always do a dual boot win/hackintosh on a pc (requires some work) then you can have the best of both worlds.

I'd say the best would just be running wine on Linux.

Might be true. I feel like I'm getting to the point where learning to use any OS other than windows is just meh too me and pretty much out of the question.

I've been using nothing but windows since 95'. Yeah I know, I was a pretty bad ass 6 year old @ the time :lol:

The funny things is this:

Windows 8.1 PRO installed just fine and dandy with no problems whatsoever on my 2009 iMac.

On my 2007 macbook that I sold, I was going to install a new windows 8.1 disc on it but it wouldn't let me. It kept going into eufi and asking me what boot rom I wanted to do and it wouldn't let me click anything and there were no options to choose from. It's as if the mac was literally keeping me from installing windows. So I said fuck that, I will sell the macbook and get a pc laptop so I can install my copy of windows on it. And that's exactly what I did.

Drr....what you're talking about is the number of mouse clicks you have to do on osx versus windows. Things don't take that much longer on windows. Once you get used to a certain work flow, it's easy to deal with. Windows doesn't have all the small bugs that osx has. Windows doesn't have all the slow childish animations that osx has.
