[rant] I hate macs with every ounce of my being.

[Jaged]

In english we have had this project involving iMovie for the last few weeks. We are making what the teacher calls a digital story involving pictures, voice and music. I went into this thinking iMovie would be good software. I had heard good things about mac's ability to creat movies and the like. I could not have been more wrong. I might not even finish because of all the stupid technical dificulties and shitty programming decisions I have ran into. This software crashes almost once a day. It will also randomly loose one of the pictures in your iMovie making you have to reimport it to edit it. Once it randomly mixed up the order of EVERYTHING I had just put in as if it took my iMovie, put it in a blender and spit it back out for no reason. Don't even get me started on the transitions. Trying to get the images timed with your voice is easy. That is until you try to add transitions. They mess with the timing of pictures in the most absurd ways that just make no sence. My friend was getting another weird error multiple times. He would save his iMovie and close down the computer. When he came back to it the next day it would not be where he left it. It simply did not save, despite the fancy little bar going across the screen and saying the save was completed.

In conclusion, I DESPISE MACS.

But the MacBook pro is sofuckinghot.

You can put windows on it too.

[xmodum]

iPod Movie 4tw, tbh.

I hate macs too, they suck. Compatibility for the lose, it is compatible with no games at all. One mouse button sucks. The cost is ridiculous. There is much more, but I dont feel like posting it now...

[Baneblade]

That is a lot of ounces.

Oh no I suppose I should go kill myself over the loss, really.

I think instead I'll argue on merit. Go look around at prices for notebooks similar the the Macbook pro. 15.4 inch widescreen, 2.0ghz Core Duo, x1600 graphics, 1 gig of ram, DVD burner, and an express card slot.

Now compare them.

In the thin/lightish arena your normaly looking at about the same price, but some have this feature or that feature missing, some have some extras.

It ends up being a very attractive choice in price, performance, and it wins in asthetics.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the Apple student discount is very nice, knocks $200 off and you get a free Ipod nano.

EDIT2: I'm no no way and apple fan boy, either, I don't own a Ipod, or any Mac at all(no do i plan on buying one except for perhaps the laptop)

[Hamma]

Apple does make some pretty sweet looking laptops thats for sure.

[Giovanni]

I'm pretty sure this is a code 14. Meaning the problem is about 14 inches away from the screen.

[Mag-Mower]

I dont like iTunes. Only being allowed to use a few hundred dollars worth of music on only 5 computers blow.

[Kikinchikin]

Macs=suck.

[Setari]

I don't so much hate macs, I hate the uppity holier-than-thou bullshit of the people who use them.
