Sooo Snow Leopard comes out this Friday. Which of you nerds are going to be at the Apple Store nice and early? I know I will
I have had the same experience with a Mac. Hard drive died thrice, Motherboard twice, charger once(ha... 321) and numerous other issues including a whole new Macbook. I will never look at Macintosh computers again. Hmm... about you Trashiba I have had one running for over 6 years with NO problems except re-installing windows twice (compared to the mac which has been reinstalled over 7 times)i to agree not to enter into the superior fight. The update i get from microsoft isnt so much the you need to buy a new pc, its the pc going well ive done my year, goodbye battery, motherboard, memory and anything else with a breakage timer on it. But then again it was a trashiba (toshiba). Personal opinion after using both extensivly i would never look back to a pc.
I already have a copy. Putting it on a PC tomorrow.Sooo Snow Leopard comes out this Friday. Which of you nerds are going to be at the Apple Store nice and early? I know I will
Yep, take it in at the very least to have the drive repaired.Speaking of which, for my first foray into the Mac thread, my CD drive is shit. Some discs it will read, others it will just spin up, stop, spin up, stop, spin up, stop, eject. Any ideas? Is it viable to take this thing to the Mac store and just say "service my computer for me and give it back clean, running Snow Leopard. Thanks."? It's I think either the 1st or 2nd Gen of the Intel based MacBooks - 13.5", white, purchased beginning '07.
thank you for your quality input into this thread. And for the record, my mac has never failed me, which is surprising since ive done some really nasty things to the hard drive to have various different booting configurationsmacs fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's $39 for the Snow Leopard upgrade (provided you already have 10.5). If not, you have to buy the Mac Box set which is something like $229.What's the price for Snow Leopard?
Developer builds don't countI already have a copy. Putting it on a PC tomorrow.
A friend has been running it for a while and says it is MUCH smaller and faster ...Apple claim the Finder will be close to 2x faster as well, Coverflow and Quicklook should be absolutely seamless with loading documents then.

See Colourclassics last post.IF we have loepard stock on a mac, do we get the upgrade cheap? Anything to make mine faster with all the crap on it!!

I've ordered it so hopefully it will arrive early next week. Hopefully it's as noticeably fast as they say it is.Sooo Snow Leopard comes out this Friday. Which of you nerds are going to be at the Apple Store nice and early? I know I will
replace them with mac's. problem solved.it's mainly to protect the other PC's on my home network
Then i guess its a bit of Crapshoot there really is no right answer, my Macs been running as strong as the day i got it, within weeks i was having problems with my Toshiba. At my school every year they insist that every kid requires a laptop. I'am willing to put money that they put more back into the computer replacing items than the initial cost of the laptop.I have had the same experience with a Mac.

So much for Mac better than Windows
Windows sucks aswell I know so I have tried linux and found that it was the best OS for my needs.
