Agreed. While I strongly prefer Windows, I do think that Microsoft could learn a thing or two from Apple as far as durability goes.OkaySandwich wrote:I feel that Apple machines are far more sturdy and better made than the majority Windows computers.

I'm not sure machine durability has anything to do with Microsoft. Computer companies that ship Windows would be the ones to make more durable machines.ElectroYoshi wrote:Agreed.

But also think, Macbooks have less hardware and cost a bloody ton of money. Durability means stronger material, which means overheating. Low end hardware is less likely to overheat as it needs less power.

Dell, Acer, Gateway, Alienware, Toshiba, LG, Compaq, etc.....

Yeah, *legally*.Nazmus wrote:I agree for most points except one. Some people might like OSX. Everyone has different needs or wants. If they like OSX, they only have to buy apple because you can't legally get it any other way. I prefer Windows, but each OS has its strength and weaknesses.
Actually, it's not really illegal to build a "hackintosh" if you buy the OS. What's illegal is the distribution of these machines for profit.

Yep, it appears I was wrong. For some reason I thought I had read that somewhere but it seems it's otherwise.Nazmus wrote:The OS license agreement states you can only install it on a Mac. Hackentosh means you are breaking the Licence agreement
Apparently even if you buy OS X, the OS isn't yours, but it is rented from Apple. So you don't actually own the OS you buy.
