1.) If you love designing whether its photo or video editing Mac gives you an advantage. (e.g When you are editing a large tarpaulin in photoshop mas smooth sya kesa sa PC and also it has retina display mas mataas ang ppi or pixel per inch kesa sa ibang laptop kaya tlang sulit ang pano2od mo ng video.)
2.) Syempre the aesthetics that is one factor why many love mac because of its minimalistic design.
3.) The hardware as what i've said in no. 1 no doubt that the machine is one of the most advance hardware.
4.) Its O.S or Operating System as you notice why are there no or mostly no user of MAC complains about viruses you can assure that you files are kept secured and also the interface is much more easy to use than microsoft or any other O.S that why many company are using it nowadays.
5.) And lastly because of the society more high class and some middle class people are using it. It becomes a status symbol.

Apple user here, i think ang mga nagcomment dito mostly are Windows users, so mahirap icompare kung wala kang first hand experience. I'll list ung mga alam kong advantages ng Mac over PC.
1. since Apple ang nagdedesign ng hardware as well as software, walang magiging problem regarding drivers unlike sa Windows, since iba ibang companies ang gumagawa ng hardware for it, mejo pahirapan ang paghahanap ng drivers kung mafoformat.

2. dahil mas marami di hamak ang Windows users, mas prone ito sa malware o any other kind of viruses, kasi syempre kung isa kang malicious coder, mas gugustuhin mo nga namang makainfect ng mas maraming machines ung gagawin mong virus.

3. starting OS X Mavericks, free na ang OS ng Mac, not sure if lahat na ng new OS nila ay parating magiging libre, unlike sa Windows, so in case walang kasamang installation DVD ung binili mong PC, kapag nagkaproblem ka at naisipan mong magformat, either bibili ka pa ng Windows installer, which is recommended, o magdodownload ka ng pirata.

4. kung bibili ka rin ng bagong Mac, free mong makukuha ang iWork (MS Office na gawa ng Apple) at iLife (Garageband and iMovie) apps nila, kung sa Windows naman, cguro may iilan kang mabibili na PC na free na rin ung MS Office, pero not all. Free din online ang iWork nila through iCloud.

5. kung programmer ka, free mo madodownload at magagamit ang XCode, ang primary IDE for coding in Objective-C. Although may free version din naman ang Visual Studio, lahat ng features ng XCode magagamit mo unlike pag free version ng Visual Studio ang ginamit mo.

6. lastly, based sa research ko nung nagiisip akong bumili ng laptop, no.1 ang macbook in most criteria, keyboard and touchpad, ergonomics, design, reliability, durability, last year pa ako bumili ng laptop so baka outdated na rin ung research ko. pwede ka rin pala magpacustomize ng specs ng Mac mo pero dapat bago ka pa lang bumili ipacustomize mo na, kasi kapag nabili mo na, hindi na raw pwede ipapalit ung hardware. Also, I think mas matagal madrain ung battery ng Apple based din sa research ko before.

Kung gamer ka, umiwas ka sa Mac, syempre dahil yung ibang magagandang games, sa Windows lang nirerelease, although may mga magagandang games din sa Mac.

 

[chavxxx]

Mac user here. If yung use mo is more on Video Editing, Photo Editing, Audio Editing, etc. so definitely recommended talaga yung Mac. If more on gaming, or casual user ka lang, mag Windows ka nalang.

 

[bluejacker2121]

for me its a less maintenance no need for yearly subscription for anti virus, and high performance.

LOLS may Microsoft Security Essentials naman na built-in sa windows 8 and free for 7 and XP.

 

[otomirmo]

i've been a mac user for almost nine years and i have invested on two, yes just two macs in that very long period. my first one the low end 2005 17.5-in iMac. though it's hardware is rather obsolete damn machine still works up to now. the current one i got is 2010 13-in mbp, except from maybe some cosmetic wear, it works exactly like it did back when i bought it three years ago.

clarify ko lang po yung sinasabi nyo dahil parang mali po...

1. hindi po apple nag dedesign ng parts nila... pumipili lang po sila sa mga manufacturers... intel din po proccie nila... nvidia yung gpu... lg or samsung yun retina displays... pero totoo sinabi mo na wala masyado driver issues dahil for a fact bilang lang macbook models compared sa mga iba...

3. hindi po free ang OS ng apple... pag bili mo ng laptop nila kasama na po eto na binabayaran... free update lang po papunta mavericks... yun sa windows naman po license po yung binibili dun hindi po cd... kahit wala ka cd pwd mo i download yun OS kung may license ka...

4. wag po i compare ang office at iWorks... para ka po nag compare ng mspaint at photoshop... meron din po libreoffice at google docs yun windows kung gusto mo same level ng iWorks na free.... iLife though maganda kase panget yun movie maker ng windows hahahaha....

5. sa coding naman po pwede maka libre kung mag aapply ka sa dreamspark program ng microsoft... pero need mo student identification(hiram ka na lng sa mga kakilala mo na student if ever)

kung gamer ka at may macbook pro ka... better bootcamp windows 7/8.1... :P

It's not about the price, style, design and other center of attraction fictions...

It's about Quality, Stability, Durability, Speed, Application, Operating System, Virus Free and License Free...

You don't need to buy a license for your operating system.
You don't need to worry about the viruses.
You don't need to gradually optimize your system( defragmentation process).

Good application handling.
No license needed to install application.
Thousands of application from one Apps Store. (Not all of the apps are free... Yet you can download from torrents for full version..^_^)
Full Support from Customer Service.

If you don't like Virus and Licenses, but you like the facts above then MAC is good for you...

san mo napulot na virus free mac?
you can't buy the operating system itself but you still pay for it.
good application handling? depends on the application...

obviously you would get full support if you pay premium for a device... even other manufacturers have support...

 

[wint3r143]

nice thread but for me PC/windows parin hehehe... mahal kasi masyado pero kung babaan baka mag dadalawang isip ako... high end pc na mabibili ko nun sa sobrang price nila dito sa PINAS...

>lahat kasi ng frend ko classmate and kakilala even sa mga forum na naka mac naka dual windows...
>pero lahat ng pc/na naka windows bihira lang mag dual ng OS nila bakit kaya? kasi maka windows talaga kaso sabay sa uso or porma hinde na titingnan specs na ito mahalaga hehehe...

sabi nila matibay... di nila tatalunin japanese products "TOSHIBA" pupusta ako dito tested kuna ito

 

[ardy1234567]

logo and multimedia. may unique technology ang apple para sa dislplay nila kaya medyo realistic ung colors,image anything about multimedia, kaya maganda siya sa multimedia.

pero kung gaming,softwares,application at kung ano ano pa marami ka magagawa sa PC.

hmm. true pero expensive pa din. Kung yan lang naman din bumili na lang ng latest Sony LED monitors. It can go head to head with mac displays. Sony kadalasan may sarili or unique display technology din than other manufacturers. Kaya mejo pricey din. Still you can achieve half the price pa rin on a PC. Napakaraming variety ng Monitor or display manufacturers. you just choose which is the closest specs according to mac displays.

I just recently bought a 17" Macbook Pro with Core i5 processor and I can say that I didn't touched my windows desktop and laptop ever since.

Tip:
If you're gonna use it for gaming and work, there's nothing to regret about buying one.

 

[pinoyteens]

because it's overpriced and overrated, binayaran mo lang yung name ng apple. ung mga lumang macs hindi rin maupdate sa mavericks...

Minimum requirement for OS X Mavericks:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

I think that's pretty good.

I'm a Macbook Air (2013) User here. I did own a Macbook Pro (2009) before. I like using Macs because you need to less maintenance and virtually can live a worry free life - for as long as you're not stupid and click on links that you are not supposed to click.

Most Macs are definitely no gaming machines. Far from it. But if you're into multimedia and stuff like that, for me, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

I have the best of both worlds here, running my Macbook Air. Even with the "underwhelming specs" of Core i5 1.3gHz (Haswell), 4GB RAM, 128SSD I can run my Mac side and my Windows 8 side via Parallels just fine.

Graduate na ako sa "pataasan" ng specs type techie. For me, for as long as it works, it lasts, and it suits my lifestyle (always on the go) (this Macbook Air is really neat and light to carry around and I do get the advertised 12hrs battery life on occasion).

 

[deomm]

the most advance OS in the world yung gamit nila

tambling tayo jan. tsk tsk
