I just purchased a used Mac lap top.....Got it on AMAZON they upgraded it for me & it came with WORD 2011 I got ot for under $400.00 I still have an old ibook, I must say I love Apple products because they run so much smoother than any window product. plus they download way faster!!!

Congrats, er First a Mac is a Pc always has been same hardware.

Now you have closed source linux. Which I agree Linux is better then windows.

So no you arent going any faster on the net then windows.
If you have DSL its the newer system as DSL compresses the data so newer systems have faster and better cpus. Hence uncompress it faster.
Also, newer systems have a better network port thereby allow a faster network connection.
Congrats on the better cpu

The term PC stands for PERSONAL COMPUTER and applies to many computer BRANDS including Mac…The difference is in the operating systems...Mac uses OS X while all other brands use Windows ...Some major differences between Mac PC's and all others include design, price, speed and capacity (Macs almost always outperform in both areas), configuration, retailing technique/strategy, operating system (OS X consistently outperforms Windows), types of software (Mac software is seriously limited, especially when it comes to business computing), security ( Macs being the most secure simply because they only account for about 5% of PC users), and customer satisfaction (Macs score high marks on reliability and service experience)…So, congrats on your purchase Debbie, you done good!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

That got me curious.
I have a 12 yr old emachine. She's a tired.
The Mac I've seen on Amazon and best buy are esspensive. 9 to 1,200 dollars.
Where can I find a good one like Debbie's?
And, what are the limitations and downsides with an apple?
Purty pulease.
Oops!
I am looking for a desktop. Not laptop.

They are pcs as in hardware same exact hardware so they dont score high marks .In fact they score lower marks.For selling higher priced and lower powered. The service experience is far from high. What reliability.I wish people would be honest about macs thats all.

Like i said .. an apple is a pc nothing different same exact hardware. Nothing special at all. you will pay more for less.
aka
pc people know not to buy nor does Intel make an I7 extreme dual yes old outdated I7 dual core for pc people costing 1999 for mac

I can get a I7 pc 8 core or at very least a 4 core I7 for 1500
$499 less and more power.
Thats my point. Thats the facts

If you want Linux not closed source linuz as with apple osx. then do this.

Buy any good pc a ASUS or Intel -They make apple by the way.

Then install pclinux os - Its free . That way you will have a open source and better Linux meaning free:
video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/channel/HCvXAadCOI8To
Here is the main site It also tells you how to make a iso or free dvd of the iso/download:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/get-pclinuxos/kde/
Thsi is where you can download:

want a fast PC?(yes a MAC is a PC people, they like to pretend they aren't and separate the terms, but as someone said same hardware).
By your parts, put it together, then install Ubuntu, Mint linux, or even if you prefer a MAC os(but remember MAC software is hardware specific so you need to by hardware on their 'approved' list). Windows is alright, but not as fast as linux based OS's(wich MAC is linux based)

Personally I prefer customization options over having exactly what a manufacture tells me I can have.

not to speak last, but well said well said its the preferred distro/model. Have u ever tried pclinuxos works great all "macs"
macs have their own written "bios" which again is made by intel. this bios only allows certain higher priced video cards. So if u want total freedom do what we said get genric no name pc and get open source linux distro. and good luck
