Mac vs. PC - Which one to Buy for the IM Business?

Posted: 15 years ago 16 replies

OFF TOPIC

Warrior Friends,

I am planning to buy a new laptop for my IM Business. Some of my friends recommend that I should buy Mac. But I have been using a HP Laptop for the last 5 years. The major problem I have seen, is that some IM Software are not designed for the Mac.

What's your recommendation? Which one you will buy if you are in my shoes?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,

You left out "none of the above".
I'm a atrong believer in having your PC custom built to your needs.
That does mean you have a desktop and not a laptop, but,so what?

The only problem with a PC is that you still need a Laptop. Due to offline marketing, I do carry my laptop everywhere. Thanks for your input,

Why not have the best of both worlds? Yes, there is a learning curve to this end but if you can read and post on forums you should be able to figure it out with a little elbow grease. Apple ditched their proprietary processors in favor of intel not too long ago. That is, you'll be able to run both OSx and M$ on any late model MAC. But don't thank me for it, these guys deserve the credit. I'm completely unaffiliated with the site, take this from a compassionate computer/im user.

  if you have been a PC user, when you change to the Mac you will love it till you you realize that there are somethings that a Mac cant d that a PC can do and vice versa. I use both OS and as long it supports my work flow, it does not really matter.

I really do think you should just get a 13" original white macbook and bootcamp/parallells/vmware fusion win7 on it

i've been using a Mac for IM for the past 3 years, only bug bear is a few little IM software tools that are made for Windows but hasn't really been a problem.

I've been using a macbook for three years. I do get a bit hung up about some software not being designed for mac but I think with vmware fusion/bootcamp the problem can be solved. Most importantly I think I work faster with a mac os. I can swop windows easily and have like 20 windows open without crashing. However, it is a matter of your preference and whether you can work well with it.

I can clearly see many suggesting that Mac is preferred over the PC.

Today while reading the CNN news, I found an interesting statistics about Mac vs. PC and I thought I should share with the forum members.

Haha, the age old debate! I would say get a Mac... they are just less stressful and I am definitely more productive on them. But try for yourself of course!
