That said, I'm a power user but not a gamer -- gaming rigs need to be customized and Apple doesn't address that market as well as the high-end PC manufacturers. But for the great majority of Windows users, Apple's computers are terrific platforms for running Windows.
Plus you get Mac OS X with the hardware, which itself is a great, solid operating system with fantastic applications.
In my opinion, the best of both worlds in one machine.
Chime in -- I'm going out to the kitchen to get popcorn...
Hi Sword, you better get over here, it’s Windows 10 but look where it’s running!
Heh, that said, I have 5 PC’s running Windows 7 with no problems in a Video Storage network. Three are used for “Cloud” storage (32 TB), while two are used for recording TV shows and movies (One main and one backup).
All are Homemade - that only means you buy the components that you want and put them together (not exactly rocket science these days). They all are part of my local group and accessible to TV and other devices. I can watch any movie from any of the 5 PC’s on the TV. What more can you ask?
All run without problems and sleep when not used. Low Power requirements.
Configuring your own computers are the way to go...
So, it really is not about the company that makes the product as it is how you use them. Do your own thing...
I’m running 8.1 via bootcamp on 2013 hbo, and it’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned. It better be for the price lol.
I’m testing win10 on an old c2d 1.3Ghz laptop from 2009. Really snappy fast, but I’ll wait 6+ months before considering upgrades on my other pc’s.
Gah..should read 2013 mbp, as in macbook pro.
Sort of like running a Ford Super Duty with a Cummins 5.9 and a Allison transmission...... Or a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Masterpiece with a Colt Python barrel .
i’ll have to try this too...:o)
“According to some users, Windows 10 outperforms OS X when run on a MacBook Pro”
Yeah, when a top end MacBook is compared to a medium level pc ...
We went through all this on a thread here last month.
